We’re planning a Pancake Party next Tuesday, and in doing some research for inspiration, I found some amazing pancakes; some were downright bizarre. I put together a board of incredible pancake art on Pinterest here.
If you’re looking for gluten-free alternatives, take a look at the No Naughties website for superb gluten-free pancake canapes, based on a Finnish recipe here. They’re oven-baked, so there’s no slaving over a hot stove getting covered in grease and pancake mix.
If you really are pushed for time, you could always buy some supermarket pancakes and have fun mixing and matching these toppings:
Jam
Chocolate spread
Honey
Toffee spread
Lemon curd
Icecream
Fresh fruit – raspberries, bananas, blueberries
Sprinkles – hundreds and thousands, or chocolate flake sprinkles
For those who prefer savoury toppings, you could make “pancake pizza” with a choice of cheese, ham, mushroom, peppers, and warm them up in the oven.
I’ve just asked the kids to write a list of potential guests to invite.
At the last count there were 27 children.
Wish me luck…..
