Pancakes everyday :: Baking ::

It is pancake day - and the perfect excuse to eat pancakes all day! I am finally back on reading blogs (and even commenting), and just came across this recipe by Jeska and I just had to try it - it said healthy and sugar free in the title (ok, it may depend on how much maple syrup you add to them)! In case you wonder, it is 2 points/pancake for WW. 

As you can see I made some for the boys yesterday, and they loved them! I probably made them a bit bigger - a sort of hybrid between pancakes and crepes (I made 16 following the recipe). It is also a chance to use those bananas that are getting a bit soft in your fruit bowl. I swapped flour for a combination of half plain white flour and half rice flour. 

They are quick to make and really nice - totally worth a try. 

But if you fancy more traditional crepes, I shared my grandma recipe two years ago, they are also delicious.

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday or 'Fat Tuesday' (translation from the French), and it may be a good time to share the best pancake recipe ever - that of my Grandmother - totally unbiased opinion then. To be fair, she was from Brittany the county of pancakes, and everyone who has eaten one of her pancakes loved them! 

I am posting the recipe today, as you should leave the pancake mix overnight in the fridge. There are no fancy ingredients in the recipe so you should be able to make the mix without a trip to the supermarket. 

To make the mix (for 4 skinny people or 2 greedy people - like Mr MiH and I)

• 250g of all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
• 1/4l of milk
• 1/4l of water
• 3 eggs

How to make the mix?

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, oil and milk. Make sure you work the mix properly. 
2. Whisk the eggs separately and add to the mix.
3.Add the water a little by little. 
4. Leave to rest overnight for best results (or just a couple of hours)

You cook them in butter... Just make sure that your pan is hot enough.

Bon appetit!

PS: We use the same mix for savoury (gruyere, ham and egg) and sweet (sugar or maple syrup) pancakes
