Pancake Day!
Oh yes, it's that time again! The time when my family eats pancakes until we feel sick or run out of mix - whichever comes first. For us, it has been a tradition to eat pancakes throughout the day, starting with savoury and then moving onto sweet (we're civilised, don't ya know). We'd spend what felt like hours around my poor mum in the kitchen, taking the fresh pancakes pretty much as soon as they hit the plate!
As I got older, I still made the trip to my mum's house every Shrove Tuesday because I always knew that if I tried to cook my own pancakes, they'd never be as nice as my mum's. Unfortunately, due to lockdown restrictions I won't be able to visit my mum (a small relief for her, I'm sure, although I still have two teenage brothers who will most definitely put away 20 pancakes each...) and, as such, I wanted to attempt a range of different recipes and toppings myself this year.
Luckily for me, my partner bought me a crepe and pancake maker this Christmas, complete with a little T-stick spreader and everything - how very Christmas Markets of us! So I'm expecting big things from these pancakes, and I'll try to post my successes and failures on my Instagram stories the 16th February!
