...followed by pancakes for dessert...

...more specifically Jubilee Pancakes!!


This has to be one of my all time favourite desserts, and it stems back to the days when as a child we would drive to my Nan's for the holidays, stopping on the way at a Little Chef...I believe they are still going strong today, and that the dessert menu is pretty similar to the one that I would have chosen from back in the late 70s early 80s!! 

It's basically a pancake topped with warm cherry pie filling and a dollop of vanilla ice-cream, and folded over...delicious!!

Pancakes for dinner...

...Retro Revival Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Crispy Pancakes...


When my sister and I were growing up, Mum cooked for us every day...no convenience foods, just good home-made meals. I remember looking at the frozen foods in the supermarket when we went shopping, and being told that things like the ready-made frozen crispy pancakes were full of additives etc and not good...but look what was in the March edition of Delicious Magazine...



...A Retro Revival section full of those 80s foods that your Mum always said were no good...that have been re-visited and made with fresh ingredients that are good for you!! Yay!! Well as it is Shrove Tuesday, I thought I'd give them a go...Mind you, there is already a 'tweak' in the making, I don't have any breadcrumbs, and the only loaf I have is a fresh one that I made yesterday, so I shall be coating mine in fine matzo meal instead.

Happy Shrove Tuesday...

...it's breakfast time at our house...


Morning,
I wake up early, always have done since leaving student life behind many moons ago! This morning after making packed lunches and whilst drinking my coffee I saw Em's post on Daffodils and Snowdrops for her Perfect Breakfast Pancakes...so I just knew what had to be done for for two smallish people today!! I often make American Style Pancakes on weekends, but not very often in the week!!! However these looked too good to miss...






...so I mixed up a quick batch of batter...

Got the griddle pan out...
