Empty Nest Mummy

We’re not big pancake eaters in our house. In fact, we only make them once a year, then the kids try them, hate them and they end up in the bin. All change now though as we have discovered thicker, less eggy, American pancakes.

And they are delicious!

And, if you add blueberries to the mixture before you cook them, they’re amazing!

And, if you top them with fresh blueberries and raspberries, they’re sublime!

These are the only pancakes that we'll eat in our house. They are easy to make, the kids can even help, they're fluffy and they're delicious. Topped with fresh fruit, and a little drizzle of maple syrup, and you'll think you're in heaven!
