Pancake Day 2015: the Savoury experience

It's pancake day woop woop

Pancakes have definitely taken a savoury turn in my house this year and the excitement is too real!

I have a sweet tooth and chocolate is a close and personal friend but sugar doesn't compare to my love for the hot and savoury.

My batter is a simple plain mix that enhances the flavour of the filling but doesn't over power it.

Ingredients:

100g plain flour

2 eggs

300ml semi-skimmed milk

pinch salt

1 tbsp olive oil into the mix or a knob of butter

• Splash of oil in the pan for cooking

Serves:7-8 pancakes

• 
  

This pancake day is all about hot and spicy flavours packed full of goodness.

• My two main  fillings are Duck & Chicken surf and turf stir fry and home made Venison meatballs.

R: Stir fry L: venison meatballs

The stir fry has oyster mushrooms, edamame beans, broccoli, shredded duck and chicken, onions and prawns. (sautéed spinach was added at the end).

The venison meatballs which have a really rich spicy sent naturally wear seasoned overnight with Worcestershire sauce, fresh and dried chives, season all, Himalayan sea salt and chopped onions. I then added an egg and a tablespoon of flour before rolling into balls.

     Final product:

I like my savoury pancakes a little more crispier than usual as they hold the contents better and there they are super tasty and pretty darn health eh.

What is your pancake plan this year?

Lazy brunch: Pancakes, egs and chipotle mayo

First of all I have to say its sunny in the UK woot woot (does tribal dance).
Ok back to business, I absolutely LOVE watching the food network and lots of cookery shows.
I read Nigellas' books like they are literature. Considering the amount of shows I watch I should cook more but I am just not domestically inclined lol.  I always see the most gorgeous looking food posts or I am  Whatsapping pics to friends and now I will be sharing my own culinary creations on here. It just seems like a no brainer.

This sexy beast below is a sweet and savoury mash up.
 I made scotch pancakes after buying a really nice batch from Asda.
I think mine are a little bigger than theirs.

The filling is homemade extra hot chipotle mayo, bbq sauce, honey roast turkey and, a few slices of brie and 2 fried eggs (runny), liberally powdered with paprika.

  All the ingredients I  used were found jamming in the fridge and are inexpensive to buy. Its very quick and easy to make and shows how versatile pancakes can be. This is simple yet delicious - a triumph. 

check it out for yourselves.

Pancake day shenanigans 2013

Its pancake day yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! 

Ok so I haven't made pancakes in several years but I decide to whip out the old flour and eggs. Here is my lovingly crafted effort.....and the biggest strawberry like ever.

help me I am meeeeeeeeeeelting!

By the time I  found useable natural light and plated up, my ice cream had melted hence it looking very messy lol. I used a simple syrup pancake recipe and added, cubed chocolate, salted orange caramel syrup (I watch cookery shows and have aspirations ok) and Ben and Jerry's Phish food Ice cream as I don't really like ready made chocolate sauces. Come to think of it they look a little more like crepes but meh they taste delish.

Recipe makes 6-8:

300g of sifted self raising flour

2 cups of milk

a few dashes of vanilla essence

2 medium sized eggs

2 tablespoons of home made orange syrup, the rest is drizzled on top

(baking powder is optional)

I wont tell you how to mix it up, I am hoping that you aren't idiots. Have a go it was more fun than expected. I am off to watch Girls and stuff my face.
