Oh Crêpe! It's Pancake Day!
We've been here before... You may be wondering exactly what more could we have to say about pancakes... and let me tell you... we're not going to give you the whole spiel. We're going to get down to the facts!
Essentially: What we got, and why you should get 'em for Pancake Day!
For the talented pancake makers...
You know who you are! You're the ones who make them from scratch, tell the others 'it's not even hard!' and mock when us poor cooking-challenged folks attempt to flip a pancake. You have a fancy blender or just use the power strength of the a hand held whisk to make the lightest, fluffiest batter known to man! Frankly, I salute your baking skills!
All you need to pick up from Kelly's is:
Flour: We recommend the ever popular McDougalls Plain Flour or Homepride! Beloved by customers and sure to add a much needed fluffiness to any pancake. Not to mention you can keep it in the cupboard for any and all future cooking needs!
Sugar: A small sprinkle of sugar into your batter can add a subtle sweetness. Add a small sprinkle from Tate & Lyle and it's sure to up the level of deliciousness.
Butter: Fabulous KerryGold is sure to add a smooth buttery layer of flavour to your batter as it fries in the pan!
Grab your two eggs, and 300ml of milk from your local supermarket and away you go!
- Simply sieve the dry ingredients into a bowl, get rid of the lumps and bumps! (100g flour, & sprinkle of sugar!)
- Then crack two eggs open, whisk in with 300ml of milk until you have a smooth golden batter!
- You can leave your mixture to rest if you have the time, or start cooking immediately.
- Butter up a shallow / crêpe pan and pop the heat to a nice medium! (We highly recommend the Fry Light Butter Spray to help get the perfect level in your pan!).
- Cook for one minute on each side, or until a rich golden brown colour! You can play it safe with a spatula to do the flipping, or test your skills flipping from the edge of the pan!
For those who prefer the easy peasy box recipes:
We're talking Pearl Milling Company pancakes! Take out the measuring and get down to the important bit - the eating! For the classic American style which adds a whole dimension to your typical crêpe. We've all seen the blockbuster movies where breakfast is the feast of kings, with pancakes stacked to the ceiling and simply oozing luxury as syrup drips down the side.
Well that could be you this pancake day!
With Pearl Milling Pancake Mix and their matching Pearl Milling Syrup to boot! All you need is an egg and a splash of milk - without having to measure and sieve the flour as an extra step. Stir and voila! You cannot go too wrong with these fluffy pancakes. The original smooth maple syrup flavour to top it off - simply chef's kiss perfection.
