For complete indulgence on Pancake Day, why not make a Pancake Cake?
Follow our recipe below to make your pancakes. Then make a pile of pancakes, spreading your favourite fresh fruit and honey between the layers. Make into a deep cake and cut into slices.
…Also good with fresh strawberries and cream. Alternatively try fresh berries, creme fraiche and a drizzle of chocolate sauce…yum!
Ingredients for the Pancakes
300ml of full-fat milk
2 medium eggs
125g plain flour
25g melted butter
Extra butter to cook the pancakes with
Method
- Pour the milk into a jug, add the eggs and beat well.
- Place 125g plain flour into a bowl and make a hollow in the centre
- Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the centre of the flour, whisking just in the centre as you pour.
- Keep whisking so you gradually draw in the flour from the outside of the bowl – this will hopefully keep your mixture lump free!
- When the flour is fully mixed in, whisk the melted butter into the batter, cover the bowl and put in the fridge to rest for half and hour or a few minutes if you are short of time!
- Heat frying pan on a medium heat
- Add small amount of butter and let it melt to cover the base of the pan
- Give the batter mix a quick whisk
- Ladle some batter into the pan, and tilt the pan so the batter mix covers the base
- Put the pan back onto the heat and leave to cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Flip the pancake when the underside is golden brown
- Remove the pancake from the heat when both sides are golden brown
- Repeat until you have enough pancakes for your cake!
- Add your favourite toppings and enjoy
