Hi there its Me....on Pancakes Wednesday, 5th March 2014

Oh what fun I had yesterday  making pancakes!  Not the mass of those made when cooking for others - then about eighty to one hundred - per session!  Enough though for pure fun and enjoyment and, historical relevance and tradition.

I've always enjoyed that, the generational connection provided by food and its importance, its necessity to ourselves and times, economy and continuation...

I made a stack of pancakes, layered with lemon curd, dusted with caster sugar and cut, like a sponge cake into small wedges for the enjoyment of....and goodness me, we did!

Pancakes, cooled and layered with squares of greaseproof paper, for warming in a just turned-off oven, while we enjoyed our creamy chicken chunks and mushrooms, nestled under a thatch of potato mash, enriched with parsley butter from last summer's herb garden...

Flipped and turned, juiced and sugared, golden pancakes, hot and delicious and a treat to be enjoyed and savoured.

OK so they were not gluten-free, my pancakes, for we were not eating gluten-free, but they could so easily have been made with gluten-free flour; so easy are they to prepare and make and so useful for a variety of food stuff - not just sugar and lemon, or Maple Syrup and Bacon - yummy!  Stuffed and filled with creamed this and that - chicken + veggies + cheese + plus ham, or bacon or salmon or practically anything your heart could possibly desire - just glorious!  The possibilities are endless!!!

My Pancake Stack!

Positively drooling with lemon curd!!!!


OK so this is not the last word on pancakes for today but needs must do other activities immediately and then add videos plus...more cooking at some point!

See you soon, Daisy xxx
