Pancake Day in Bournemouth

It’s one of the best days of the year… pancake day. The day where you can fully justify having pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The day where any toppings are acceptable whether it be the savoury cheese or the sweet maple syrup.  
 
There are also so many ways to make pancakes, and each country do it differently. The French are more customed to the crepe, a thinner pancake which is stuffed with your choice of filling. The popular options being lemon, sugar, and Nutella. The Germans make their pancakes differently as their pancakes are thicker, making for fluffy pancake bites. 

Here is a recipe how to make German pancakes. (Recipe from tastesbetterfromscratch.com) 

1. Add 5 tablespoons of butter to a 9×13-inch baking and place it in your preheating oven to melt. 

2. Meanwhile, add the eggs, milk, flour, salt and vanilla to a blender, cover, and blend until smooth. Pour batter into the baking dish, over the melted butter. 

3. Bake until the edges are golden brown and puffy, about 22-27 minutes. 

4. Serve warm, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and syrup. 

The pancakes puff up more when baked in a metal pan, but a glass pan also works.
