What was once a day to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season of Lent, Pancake Day is one of our favourite traditions. We have them every weekend for brunch, so of course, we’re counting down the day until it’s socially acceptable to have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Trust and believe, we’ll be having them for all three meals!
Whether you’re a fan of a thin, crepe style pancake or fat and fluffy American style pancakes, there’s one thing we all agree on – they need to look good for the ‘gram. We went to see our friends at Farm Girl café in Chelsea (if you haven’t been to any of their London locations before, you must!) for a masterclass in how to make the prettiest pancakes and we nailed it if we do say so ourselves.
Want in? We were sure to take down some notes to pass on the knowledge to you fellow pancake enthusiasts! Here’s how you too can make the prettiest pancakes…
You’ve whipped up your perfect pancakes, so let’s talk toppings. Obviously, they need to be in equal parts: pleasing to the taste buds and pleasing to the eye. We went for maple syrup, berry compote, raspberries and blueberries, coconut shavings and edible flowers. You can mix and match your toppings according to your preferences. Let’s get decorating!
