Get the flour ready!

This Tuesday is one of the best food celebrations ever, Pancake Day! We will be celebrating by making pancakes in the morning in our Ellie Ellie kitchen, with various different toppings to go with them. In case you don't know how to make pancakes, and prepare you for Tuesday, here is a simple recipe so you can stock up on the vital ingredients.

All you need is: 

- Plain flour

- Eggs

- Milk

- Sunflower oil for frying 

- Pinch of salt. 

Simply: 

1. Put the flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter. Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.

What is your favourite topping? We've got chocolate sauce as a favourite, lemon and sugar and strawberries in the office!

A bit of Milk, Eggs and Flour is all you need!

It's Pancake Day!! Also known as Shrove Tuesday this day is associated with the day preceding Lent because it meant you could use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season of Lent for 40 days!

Pancakes are so easy to make and only use 3 simple ingredients, flour, eggs and milk. Simply put all of these ingredients into a bowl and whisk together until you get a smooth batter, cook your pancakes in a frying pan for 1 minute each side and serve them with an assortment of toppings. 

Our favourites in the office are chocolate and strawberries, nutella and bananas and the favourite lemon, sugar and syrup!
