Ale and wheatgerm pancakes, and thick buttermilk pancakes
Polish your pancake skills in this Saturday’s Guardian. You’ve got two weeks to get flipping perfect for Shrove Tuesday on 21st February, and that means lots of pancake trials to do so you look a star.
It’s both curious and reassuring that after many hundreds of years we still celebrate pancake making every Shrove Tuesday, while many other English food traditions have disappeared. They’re essentially a kind of griddle flatbread, and when thought of like that they make more sense in on a menu. They can wrap a soft filling and keep it intact when refried in a hot pan or baked, or form a trencher-like base to soak up the juice from food served on it: anything from a stack of American pancakes topped with bacon and syrup through to soft Staffordshire oatcakes served with cheese or sausages.
The recipes for ale and wheatgerm pancakes (left), and thick buttermilk pancakes (right), are coming up in this Saturday’s Guardian Weekend Magazine, 11th February 2012..
