First National Chip Week,
now Pancake Day! I don’t know whether to be overjoyed or too just keep away
from the scales!
Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is loved by
children and adults alike but it’s the crucial pancake toss that causes some of
us to break into a cold sweat! But apparently University College London have come up with
the perfect flipping technique, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/9095436/Pancake-Day-size-really-does-matter-as-scientists-find-formula-for-perfect-pancake-flip.html.
I don't know if I'll be trying out this method but let me know what you make of it!!
There has been a lot of discussion
in the office today over what toppings we will have with our pancakes tonight.
My favourite has to be Nutella and banana, but for others simply butter and
sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice. Some are even going all out and starting off
with savoury pancakes! What’s your ultimate topping?? I’d love to know what
weird and wonderful combinations you have tried!
Here are 6 fun pancake facts for you,
