It’s that time of year again, where Christmas is far behind us, Easter isn’t here yet but we are on the slow road to the Easter Eggs when Shrove Tuesday comes around! Or should that be Pancake Day?
Just Spices create lots of lovely toppings for food including Avocado Toppings, Egg Toppings and sweet seasoning like this Pancake Spice. The 75 gram pot, which is sealed for freshness and longevity, contains sugar, ground cinnamon, ground lemon zest, Cardamom and vanilla. The combination of flavours give pancakes a different twist, adding some sweetness as well as the sharpness of the lemons to pancakes. The Pancake Spice can be used in 2 ways; firstly by adding it to the mix before you put it in the frying pan, or you can add it as a topper to pancakes after they’re cooked and ready to eat.
If you’re not familiar with pancake recipes, let me share with you my favourite one!
Pancake Recipe (makes approximately 4)
You will need…
100 grams of flour (sifted)
2-3 large eggs
250ml milk
2 heaped teaspoons of Just Spices Pancake Spice
Oil or butter for heating the pan
Method
- I like to heat the frying pan slightly before adding butter, as butter gives a crispier finish but you can use olive oil too.
- Add the flour to the milk, sifting as you fold it in. It’s much easier to pour and cooks more evenly if you take out all the lumps first. Add the eggs.
- Add the heaped teaspoons of Just Spices Pancake Spice. You can add more or less according to taste.
- Pour the mixture into the frying pan and wait until the edges start to firm. One the top is slightly cooked, wiggle the pan and flip to cook the other side!
Once the pancake is on the plate, you can add more Just Spices Pancake Spice to give more flavour, or if you’re adding ice cream, Pancake Spice added a little more sweetness to the dish overall.
After Pancake Day, if you still have some left over, Pancake Spice can be used on other desserts too. Why not try it as a topping to Tiramisu? Or to add to the apple of an apple pie? The sugar, cardamom and cinnamon make it versatile for any pudding!
