Happy pancake day!! I LOVE pancake day, I always have and tonight we had a pancake feast, savoury for main and classic lemon and sugar for dessert! We often have American style (thick) sourdough pancakes on the weekend for breakfast but for me, Shrove Tuesday pancakes are always super thin like crepes, maybe just because thatâs how my mum always did them.
Swipe to see more pics but it was mostly a cost effective combination of things I had that needed using up (which is exactly what Shrove Tuesday is meant to be right?!) and werenât enough to make a meal on their own, so hereâs what we hadâŠ
* Mushroom & spinach with shallots and garlic (fried in the same pan that I made the pancakes in while they were keeping warm in the oven)
* Salmon and prawn in Emmental cheese sauce with chives and peas
* Bacon, wilted spinach and cheddar (prepped in the same pan after the mushroom dish⊠because I donât have endless pans and hate a washing up mountain!)
We served it with a simple leafy salad and a sprinkling of milled seeds and I also added some turmeric into the pancake batter for an extra boost that the kids wouldnât notice - a great tip from the amazing .
If youâd like any more specifics on how I made anything please message me.
Be forewarned, I did spend about 2 and a half hours cooking all of this, pancakes are a bit like Welsh cakes - not necessarily difficult but you have to stand at the hob making them for ages⊠which reminds me why we donât have them more often đŹ
