And Purple Prickles...

 ...All Over His Back 

Jess managed to top and tail Rosie's week by having a sleepover with us on the two weekends. So of course, Bob's legendary Breakfast Pancakes were requested on Saturday morning. We decided to try the ones in the Gruffalo cookbook.

We were all still in our pjs. Jess in her dressing gown, helped Bob by sprinkling the purple fruit onto each pancake. Bob used the mini pan, as the cakes were thicker than his usual crepe style, and he wanted to stack them.
They tasted very good, but I suspect it will be back to the regular ones next time [altho there have been mutterings about æbleskiver now I have the pan for it!] We served our Purple Prickle Pancakes with lemon juice, golden syrup, and dollops of home-made yogurt. A ***** recipe

  7. They look delicious. I haven't made pancakes for quite a while. I need to prepare the dry ingredients the night before and cover them, then mix the wet ingredients and put those in the fridge. Then in the morning when I am slow and dozy, it will be easy to combine them while heating up the pan!

  9. A tasty breakfast and fun for the girls.
    However, I think the 'you will need' list is poorly written. If the flour, bicarb of soda, and cinnamon are to mixed together first, then list them as the first three ingredients. Same with the milk and honey; list them together. Also, there's no mention of needing a saucer or foil on the list.
    It would be much easier for the kids (and the helping adults). ~ skye

  10. Well spotted! I must ask Bob if he noticed these editing errors when making the pancakes (although he usually keeps things warm in the oven on a low hear, so wouldn't need foil)
