It’s pancake day tomorrow. Lent starts by using up all the good stuff in the house before fasting for 40 days starts. The good stuff being milk, eggs and flour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lent is not the time for fluffy pancakes. It’s a time for crepes. Thin, gorgeous pancakes that feel decadent and are so easy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To make eight pancakes for eight you need:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crack the eggs into the flour and beat together. Slowly add the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. Put the mixture in the fridge for at least an hour, but overnight is better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Get a thin frying pan hot and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Pour enough mixture into the pan to evenly cover it. The pancake will be ready to turn in about 30 seconds, or a minute if you’ve been coy with the heat. Flip it over and leave it for another 30 seconds. You’re done.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Serve however you please but a sprinkle of sugar and lemon juice is best. Sometimes the classics cannot be improved on. Unless you are adding vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce. That’s alright too.<\/p>\n
