Porridge Pancakes For Shrove Tuesday

By Karon Grieve 2 Comments

PorridgePancakesWehey it’s Pancake Day! Okay I know we can all make pancakes any day of the year, but there is just something about this being their special day, kind of the birthday for pancakes that makes it special and makes you want to get out the flour and milk and get going in the kitchen.

Now there are pancakes and there are pancakes. There are crepes and stacks and dropped scones and oh whatever you want to call them. They can be flavoured with jam, lemon, nutella, blueberries, maple syrup, bacon and all sorts of goodies.

Here is my recipe from my book Simply Scottish Cakes & Bakes for Porridge Pancakes – come on I am in Scotland and we just have to get the national dish into as many things as possible!

These are fun, tasty and healthy too (well oats are nutricious and calming so make a great way to start your day) even though you may well add a few naughty goodies like syrup and sugar on top. Throw in a few fresh berries to compensate and the Calorie Fairy will never notice.

  3. Lightly grease a girdle (griddle or any heavy based frying pan) and place on medium heat.

    Got to make some dropped scones after work and Friday gym (guess I’ve earned the treat by then). Haven’t made them for a long time. I think I’m going to use some natural yoghurt for the dough and serve with homemade apple jam.
