Pancakes!

Now that's how to do it!
 Just a bit of fun really. There's pancakes being advertised everywhere so what does everyone want? You guessed it. I think I made close to thirty...
 It is amazing how they are consumed all the way around the globe all nearly exactly the same in every culture. Savoury or sweet these things are delish no matter what. These flat treats have quite an interesting history too being some of the oldest recorded food because the Greeks even ate pancakes with their name for them, Tagenites, coming from their word for 'frying pan'. The word pancake first appeared in our language in the 1400's. 
 I also found the origins of Shrove Tuesday both fascinating and amusing. If you are interested then check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday
Simply delish!


 Time: Minutes
 Serves: However many you like!

 RECIPE:

 1) One egg, one cup of milk, one and a half cups of sifted, plain flour and a pinch of salt really wisked together. Double or triple this as you need. Oil a large pan lightly (the spray stuff works a treat for these) and ladle in your mixture!
 2) As the pancake cooks, by all means add fresh sweetcorn for an American touch. If you are looking to flip your pancake then it's all in the wrist. Practice makes perfect, I dropped one too!
The expression helps

 Drizzle your finished result with maple/golden syrup, lemon juice, chocolate sauce or spread Nutella all over it. Cinnamon and apple sauce perhaps? Jamie did a NYC episode in which he did pancakes with fresh sweetcorn, crispy bacon, maple syrup and knobs of butter. Delish! Some people put stuffing in them, roll them up and eat them like that too but I can't say I've tried that. There seriously are so many ways to enjoy pancakes that you'll just have to experiment...

Seasoned with Peace,

It's all...







Of course there are the smart Alecs out there too...


...in...









...the wrist!
