Pancake Day with The Trotters Family

 

Having been brought up by French parents, Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Mardi Gras, was always a very important date in our diary and it has remained so ever since. Every year, I have made pancakes with whichever of my children happen to be around and now I am thrilled to enjoy this special tradition with my granddaughter.

I like to celebrate and highlight this day, as it is a moment to create memories that can be cherished forever. I would like to share the best Pancake Day recipe for scotch pancakes, and hope you enjoy them with those you love.

Sophie's Pancake Recipe

Makes about 6 pancakes:                 

• 100 grams of self raising flour
• 200 ml milk
• 1 egg
• 1 dessert spoon of Maple Syrup
• Unsalted butter for frying
• Zest of Half a Lemon

Whisk all the ingredients together until there are no lumps in the mixture. If there are, you can always strain the liquid through a sieve. Heat a knob of unsalted butter in a frying pan until bubbling and then pour enough mix in the pan to obtain whatever size of pancake you fancy!

Slather the pancakes with jam or hazelnut spread.

Et voila!
