In an Irish Home

Happy Pancake Tuesday!

Ham, Cheese and Spinach Pancake

Strawberries with Fresh Whipped Cream Pancakes

So…have you fired up your favourite nonstick pan or well-seasoned crêpe pan yet? If not, is it because you’re still on the fence about what kind of pancakes to make?

In our Irish home, we’re pretty “traditional” in our thinking: our favourite pancake fillings are ham and cheese {with spinach, for the adults} for our main course and either Nutella and bananas, fresh whipped cream and strawberries {seasoned with a squeeze of lemon and a wee bit of sugar}, or, the plain and simple, sprinkle of caster sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon for dessert. Yummm….!

There are so many delicious ingredients that pair together nicely in a pancake. If you haven’t already decided what to put in your Pancake Tuesday pancakes, consider the following:
