Pancake Day with OXO Good Grips

13 February 2014 by Eileen 5 Comments

It is almost the time of the year to show off your flipping skills as Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) is fast approaching.  Shrove Tuesday is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.  In the UK, traditionally people eat pancakes on that day hence it is called Pancake Day.

flip pancakeTo make pancakes, I used PLj’s Perfect pancake recipe, these are the ingredients you need:

  • 100g sifted plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 300ml milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • Butter for frying

PLj’s Perfect pancake recipeI’ve tried this recipe twice and I did make adjustments on the second occasion.  I only used 100 ml of milk instead.  I prefer the pancakes slightly thicker.

Preparation method:

  1. Mix the flour, salt, eggs, sunflower oil and 50ml of milk together in a large mixing bowl.  Beat until you have a smooth and thick paste.
  2. Gradually add the remaining milk until the batter is the consistency of thick single cream.
  3. Whisk energetically to get air into the batter.  Leave for 30 minutes covered with a tea towel. This allows the flour starch to swell.
  4. Heat your pan for two to three minutes, then add the butter.
  5. Once melted, add two tablespoons of your batter mix.  Swirl and flip.

To save my batter from dripping everywhere, I used the OXO Good Grips Batter Dispenser to give me a perfect amount of batter.  Pour the batter into the top and close the lid.  I love the large opening top which makes it easy to pour the batter in.  It also come with a snap-on base that sits the dispenser neatly and securely.  I can’t fault it!  I love how there are no drips or mess except a little on the snap-on base.  It is easy to clean too.  We had also used it to dispense cupcake mixture, cream, other batters.  Any extra batter can be stored in the refrigerator in the dispenser!

Once cooked, serve it with your any preferred topping, e.g. lemon juice, sugar, ice cream, fruits, honey, chocolate spread etc.  This is my chocolate monster son with his pancake!  He can’t wait to tuck in and eat it.
