We love pancakes in the Mad House, they rock our world and as far as we are concerned they are not just for pancake day. What is pancake day those of you not in the UK ask? Well, it is the day before Lent – Shrove Tuesday, so we wanted to share with you some amazing pancake toppings.

We love crepe-style pancakes here – I follow the simple recipe in our bero book which my mum used and the ingredients are the same as Yorkshire puddings.
Pancake Recipe
Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter – it should be the consistency of single cream.
- Heat a frying pan or crepe pan if you are fancy over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil. When it begins to smoke stir the batter and pour a thin layer over the bottom of the pan.
- When the air bubbles start coming through and most of the pancake has started to colour leaving a thin white coating turn the pancake over.
- For the second side wait a few seconds and then check to see if nice and golden by lifting an edge.
I am a fan of lemon and sugar with berries either blueberries or strawberries as a topping where as it is raspberries for my husband.
