A Pancake Extravaganza by Rachel Allen

rachel pancakes

Tuesday is pancake time. In all their shapes and forms, they are a real favourite in our household. It isn’t just our children who get excited – I adore pancakes and love an excuse to make a real feast of them. There’s something so pleasingly simple, so supremely comforting about a perfectly browned pancake, unchallenging and uncomplicated, but always delicious.
We’ll make all different sorts of pancakes on different years, and often on the same day. I love thin pancakes – they’re called crepes in France, where they’re usually made with some buckwheat flour. I like to eat them rolled up with lemon and sugar, or the perennial favourite, Nutella! We like to make thin pancakes as a savoury treat too, omitting the sugar and making a creamy mushroom filling with bacon and perhaps some Gruyere cheese.
If you’d like to make your pancakes a little more elaborate than just a squeeze of lemon and sugar, you can try this divine orange butter recipe, opposite, that we often make at the cookery school.
At other times, we like to make big, fluffy American pancakes, served with rashers and plenty of maple syrup. I’ve written recipes for blueberry and lemon pancakes in these pages before, as well as in a number of my cookbooks.
The Italian recipe here is a totally different take on pancakes that I’ve made on Pancake Tuesday in previous years. It was inspired by a conversation I had with the great Italian chef, Aldo Zilli. He told me a wonderful story about his mother using light pancakes as an alternative to pasta in certain dishes, and I’ve discovered that they work wonderfully with rich tomato sauces. The Italian baked pancakes with tomato sauce recipe, opposite, uses the pancakes in place of lasagne sheets, which adds a fluffiness to the dish. It’s a perfect family dish and would make a great centrepiece to a Shrove Tuesday dinner table.
Tip
Adding melted butter to the pancake batter will make a real difference to the pancakes’ flavour and texture. It also makes it possible to cook them without having to grease the pan every time.

Fluffy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes @kerrygold #Ireland 🇮🇪 😋

Pour, flip, stack and savor the morning moments.

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats

2 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 ripe banana

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 ¼ cups whole milk

8 tablespoons Irish Butter with Olive Oil plus more for the pan and serving

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender, and process until they resemble coarse flour. 
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the processed oats, all purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk to combine well.
  3. In a second large mixing bowl, add the ripe banana and use a fork to mash it very well. Next, add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk very well to incorporate the eggs and banana into the milk.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and then stream in the melted butter. Whisk until just combined. It’s okay if there are still a few lumps.
  5. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of Kerrygold Butter with Olive Oil to melt and coat the bottom of the pan. 
  6. Pour in ¼ cup of the pancake batter into the heated pan for each pancake. Cook for 2 minutes, and when bubbles begin to form and pop on the surface of the pancake, flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
  7. The pancakes can be kept warm in a 200 degree F oven on a metal rack lined baking sheet. Serve the pancakes with sliced bananas, more butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
