Pancake Day!

Hi everyone,

This year seems to have gotten off to a weird start. Pancake Day and Valentine's Day one after the other?? That's never happened before I don't think. Now I love a good pancake- who doesn't? I have never met anyone who doesn't like pancakes. Now my dad makes the best pancakes ever! I wish I was at my parents house today to have some. But you know being a blogger/author requires my attention more than ever at the moment as I am bursting with ideas!

In my house, my husband likes his pancakes thin and crispy and I prefer mine made with buttermilk and slightly thick. So what do you do in this situation? We compromise and go down the middle. Not too thin, not too thick. Made with milk instead of buttermilk as I use a lot of buttermilk (particularly in March- more on that in a few weeks).

BBC News posted a short video of what Pancake Day means, why we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday and what people's favourite toppings are. I was fascinated with some of the answers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-wales-68278469

Later on, I will be making our pancake extravaganza- watch this space!

I will also be sharing some of my favourite pancake recipes as well because pancakes aren't just for Pancake Day- I love pancakes on a lazy Saturday morning (laughs).

How do you like your pancakes? How do you make them? Let us know and we'll give you a special shoutout in our Pancake Extravaganza!

Enjoy!
