Sam's First Pancake Flip

Welcome to the second part of our come-back double bill!
Of course Sam has had pancakes before, and loves them like everybody else. Not even a picky eater like him could resist such a tasty dish. However, this post is about Sam learning to make his own pancakes, so that he can produce them on demand! (Not sure if this was a wise thing to do)
This all started when one lazy Sunday morning, I was in the mood for making pancakes. When Sam saw how easy they were to make, he quickly made up his mind to try and learn how to make them for himself.
We used Nigella's american pancake recipe from her "Nigella Express" book:
300 g flour
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
40 g caster sugar
2 eggs
500 ml milk
2 tbsp melted butter
This makes enough for two hungry people like us ;)
Whisk the ingredients together, and then ladle out into a hot, greased frying pan as thick or as thin as you like!
This was a big step for Sam, since he had planned to make pancakes all on his own for his stag do morning. Due to a change of circumstances, neither of the two stags ended up staying over, but this didn't deter Sam from making pancakes for three people at home on his own! Luckily, he didn't eat all of them, and I ended up being able to try some the following day, and they were pretty good!

Sam's comments: I like pancakes, and after seeing Eva make them, I realised that this was a simple dish that was probably at the right level for me to try to achieve on my own. They were easy to make, you just have to pay attention to the frying pan, to make sure they don't burn. The end result was delicious and was very filling, just what you need to gear you up for a stag weekend away!
