I Love a Good Pancake

& an Easy Pancake Recipe

The pancakes I grew up with as a child and now cook for my own children are crêpe style as opposed to American style. Savory with spinach and cheese, or sweet with chocolate, I love my Irish pancakes! The official day to eat pancakes in Ireland is on ‘Pancake Tuesday‘, when the majority of the country get their flour and pans out, rustle up a batch and smother them in fruit, cream, chocolate or syrup. I love the simplicity of freshly squeezed lemon and sugar sprinkled over mine. And I don’t need an official day because in our household we enjoy them weekly.
