Join in today’s Pancake Day celebrations :). Traditionally, every year, 40 days before Easter, the British (along with several other nationalities) tuck into pancakes, have fun and celebrate. It’s the last chance to indulge before Lent begins! How many pancakes can
Healthier rye sourdough pancakes that you can serve with your favourite toppings. They can be made with either rye or wheat sourdough starter – I most often keep a rye starter at home, hence the idea for using it this way. As well as using sourdough, it was important
Perfect Kaiserschmarrn, a classic Austrian dish. Kaiserschmarrn is a thick, sweet and fluffy pancake or light omelette, torn into pieces while cooking. It is incredibly light and airy. In Austria, it is often served as a sweet main course, but it is also popular for breakfast
Aebleskiver are traditional Danish pancakes, most often made during the festive season, although they are enjoyed all year round. They are cooked in a special pan with round wells and resemble little doughnuts, although they are not deep-fried. Light and fluffy, they
Simple, fluffy pancakes made with vanilla fromage frais – a favourite with children :). For this recipe, use a good-quality vanilla fromage frais that is reasonably thick and free from unnecessary additives. You will probably have the rest of the ingredients in your kitchen already.
If you have half a cup of pumpkin purée left after making pumpkin soup or baking a pumpkin cake, use it to make these waffles :). They are crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle, delicately scented with pumpkin but wonderfully fragrant with cinnamon!
Delicious crêpes filled with sweetened curd cheese, baked in the oven and served with a sweet yoghurt sauce and fresh berries. A wonderful way to serve your favourite crêpes and a truly satisfying sweet treat that everyone will love.
Syrniki (which I call twarożniki) originate from Russian cuisine, although they are also very popular in Ukraine and Belarus. These are fairly filling cheese pancakes (like small portions of cheesecake for breakfast), most often served sweet, and traditionally
These Polish apple racuchy are an autumn must-bake! Made from my family recipe and enriched with juicy pieces of apple, they’re wonderfully soft, light and fluffy – almost like doughnuts. Simply irresistible!
Traditional Austrian apricot dumplings to celebrate one of summer’s most delicious – yet often overlooked – fruits. These soft, delicate dumplings are made with an easy quark (farmer’s cheese) dough that is wonderfully simple to prepare and, in my opinion
These soft and fluffy yoghurt pancakes with fresh plums are a wonderful late summer treat. Just as with my strawberry pancakes, the plum halves or slices are added to one side of each pancake while it’s cooking, then the pancakes are flipped to finish
Plum clafoutis is a wonderful French classic – a melt-in-the-mouth dessert somewhere between a baked custard and a flan, yet even creamier in texture. The addition of ground almonds pairs beautifully with fresh, seasonal plums. It’s wonderfully
It’s so good to be home! As much as I love travelling, there’s definitely a lot of truth in the saying, “There’s no place like home.” Do you know what I missed the most? Homemade pancakes! I made a batch almost as soon as we got back, once we’d restocked the
I’ll admit that after making drop scones, I was left wanting a little more. As good as they are, ordinary griddle cakes just aren’t my favourite. What I really love are pancakes! I’d never tried making them with pineapple before, and since it’s one of Pola’s
Flour tortillas are a type of Mexican flatbread, cooked on a hot pan until lightly browned and puffed. They’re perfect for making wraps and can also be used as the base for many other dishes. In our house, they’re a quick snack loved mainly by the children, who fill them
Oat pancakes for breakfast or dessert. Made without flour or refined sugar. Instead of flour, the batter uses finely ground oats, which absorb moisture very well, making the pancakes slightly drier in texture. What makes them truly delicious are the toppings
Absolutely flawless. These chocolate waffles, packed with chocolate chips, are crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside. They’re not overly crisp, but have that perfect balance between lightness and tenderness. They’re delicious
Poppy seed and sunflower seed pancakes that can easily be placed in both the sweet and savoury category. They are delicious, yet different from the pancakes I have made before. They pair perfectly with fruit and sweet syrups, but they also seem to be asking
