Well, hello.
We must get on, it's Shrove Tuesday and there's Pancakes to make.
So to begin you will need.
I am going to whisk my eggs in my trusty copper bowl.
Copper bowls are very good for whisking eggs.
You'll find that your eggs will whisk much quicker and in a much firmer way.
And then we're going to add some milk.
I would recommend to roughly three eggs to start by adding a quarter.
And now three tablespoons of flour to be added gradually.
You want to make sure that you don't get any lumps.
And then I'll add my other two.
And there we have the batter for your Pancakes.
So the first thing you need to do is to make sure you've got a nice even fire so your pan
is evenly hot.
And then you can add the butter.
If your not an experience cook and a little bit nervous of flipping your pancake, make
sure you put in only a small amount of mix to make to a nice thin Pancake, and then you
wont have to turn it over.
If you want a slightly thicker Pancake and you want to cook both sides then the easiest
way to turn it over is to flip it.
A nice clean way to turn the Pancake over.
These ones are going to go to the servants.
There are plenty of them so I've got a lot more to make.
Keep them warm in front of a fire until they are ready to serve.
I've taken more time over these ones.
They're for Lord and Lady Braybrooke and between each layer I have either sprinkled sugar or
I've spread some apricot jam.
Layer that on, the final one, and then a sprinkling of sugar.
You can serve it to the top table then with perhaps some clotted cream or any other bits
that you choose.
We have Pancakes for Lord and Lady Braybrooke and for us servants.
A good way to begin Lent.
