ahh, the one day of the year where I can be arsed to eat pancakes*...

Yesterday's worked surprisingly well.  I used a slightly different recipe from normal (well, I always use a different one as I never remember/write it down) - bit more adventurous, using buttermilk rather than normal milk.  Anyway, the batter looked thicker and more gloopy, and it did look like the pancakes might come out fat and rubbery (I like 'em thin and crêpey). But they were actually very good - and tossed brilliantly!

So for future reference:

• half a pot (140ml ish) buttermilk
• 150g flour
• 2 eggs
• and a little bit of cocoa powder in the second half of the batter, because I was feeling experimental

(close up photo because I'm disgusting and my hob is still covered in bits of Monday's stir fry)

The cocoa powder didn't seem to make much difference, other than to the colour.  Mind you, covering them all in melted chocolate and/or honey probably masks any change in flavour of the actual pancake anyway

* though I have a vague recollection of eating some in Slovenia last year.  And will no doubt find a crêperie in France this summer, yum yum yum
