It’s Pancake Day / Shrove Tuesday here in the UK which means it’s the last day before Lent. Here in our office Jodie is giving up chocolate and Cathy is giving up bread. I’ve already given up my entire being to incubate the Meatballs so I’ve been let off the hook this year. But now is the time to use up all your eggs, fat and sugar that are hiding in your kitchen cupboards to make way for a more abstained forty days……….or so the theory goes.

For these pancakes I have used my American style pancake mix.

ALSO – here is a link to a weight conversion chart.

Banana and Chocolate Hazelnut

• Mix up your American style pancake batter.
• We pre-heated our non-stick frying pan and cooked these particular pancakes over a medium/low heat, lowering a ladle full of batter in to the pan
• Wait until you can see that the underside is cooking well before flipping as it may split and the batter on top will run everywhere ruining the pancake shape
• Each pancake should only need 3-4  minutes on each side and I’m always flipping mine over several times to check on them until they are done and cooked just the way I like them

• Place your first pancake onto a plate and spread liberally with some hazelnut chocolate spread (we used Nutella)
• Slice some banana pieces and place them onto the chocolate spread.

Continue with this process until you have a satisfying stack of super sweet chocolate and banana pancakes and then top with a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts.

I’ve had several batches of pancakes lately. The most recent being on Valentine’s Day morning before Robert the Husband and I headed out for the day. Radio 4 was on in the background, my current read was on my lap and I also enjoyed a steaming mug of builders tea. I’m not really into tea right now and I still couldn’t wish coffee further (a miracle as my middle name is Grande Skinny Latte) but on Sunday I really wanted a nice cup of tea.

I only drank half of it but it still did the trick for my pregnant body. I now fully understand where my Nana and folk of her generation were coming from when they said that the war was won on cups of tea.

Absolutely!
