Sidbury Mill flour can be substituted for plain white flour for pancake making, but the result will be less crepe-like. Instead, why not try something a bit different, which also takes away the stress (although arguably the fun!) of pancake tossing. These Welsh pancakes are almost a cross between a crumpet and a buttermilk drop scone and are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday in Wales. They are very versatile and can be eaten the traditional way with lemon and sugar, but a fruit compote and crème fraiche would work well as would clotted cream and honey or jam. If you prefer your pancakes savoury, then a few slices of mature cheese, will melt nicely on top and your favourite chutney would top it off nicely. Makes 8 pancakes.
Pancake Day is fast approaching – whether you’re a year-round pancake-maker or just prefer to stick to Shrove Tuesday, there’s something special about mixing up your own batter and having a go at the real thing. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, you can use your pancakes to make some delicious savoury dishes; the Pancakes with a Creamy Prawn and Smoked Haddock Filling recipe is easy to make, and looks impressive too.
