It's Pancake Day! A day for rejoicing indeed, if not by eating pancakes, then by splurging a little at Two Guitars (I chose pancakes, but only because I'm skint).
This time I added about a half teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter, which added a lovely roundness to the flavour of the pancakes themselves. I also initially made up the batter using only 1 1/2 cups of milk and then left it to sit for twenty minutes before adding the final 1/2 cup. This resulted in a much thicker batter, which I had to use the spatula to spread out in the pan. However, the pancakes were way easier to flip and were deliciously fluffy and surprisingly light.
So THAT'S why Sainsburys was all sold out of eggs and flour! Still managed to make our Jamie Oliver cookies from his charity recipe book though (a bit behind on the mass cooking movement...). I'm always jealous of your many domestic successes you know. And I still want to learn how to knit, though I'll need both hands back for that.
