Save On Gas, Cook Your Pancakes Over The Fire!
It’s Shrove Tuesday! Why not save on gas and cook your pancakes over your fire this year, it’s really simple to do and fun too!
Mixture recipe
- 100g plain flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300ml milk
- tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
Vegan option
- 300g self-raising flour
- tsp baking powder
- tbsp sugar (any kind)
- tbsp vanilla extract
- 400ml plant-based milk (such as oat, almond or soya)
- tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
Method
Firstly, place all the ingredients into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter. For best results set aside for 30 minutes to rest, if you don’t have time, you can start cooking straight away. Next, you need to heat a non-stick frying pan over the fire before pouring in your oil. Once nicely heated, pour the batter mix into the pan and spread the batter thinly around the pan. Finally, the fun bit! Flip the pancakes once cooked on one side and leave for another minute on the other, then serve!
Toppings
Although traditional toppings like syrup and Nutella are delicious! Why not try something different, like…
- Jam and cream
- Yoghurt and nectarine
- Peanut butter and banana
- Fruit and ice cream
- Bacon
Top tip: don’t forget to use Firemizer under your charcoal or wood as this will give you an even burn which helps cook over a fire!
