Pancake Day recipe: cinnamon, banana and chocolate crepes

Pancake Day 2010: Xanthe Clay shows how to prepare pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, with cinnamon, banana and chocolate, in under five minutes.

Classic pancake batter (makes 4-6): * Half a pint (a large mugful) milk * an egg * 4 heaped dessertspoons of plain flour * 1tsp vanilla essence (optional) * knob of butter

Put a frying pan on to heat with a knob of butter in it.

With a handblender or a whisk blend the milk, egg, flour and a pinch of salt.

Tip in most of the melted butter and whiz again.

Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, swirling it around until it coats the pan.

Cook for a few seconds, then flip it over and cook on the other side.

Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

Serve with sugar and lemons or Seville oranges to squeeze over.

For cinnamon, banana and chocolate pancakes (makes 2-3): * pancake mix (as above) * a fat pinch of cinnamon * a banana, sliced * 4 squares of chocolate, chopped * cream to serve

Make the pancake batter as above, take half and blend in the cinnamon.

Cook a pancake, and before taking it out of the pan, sprinkle with half the chocolate and banana slices.

Fold up and serve with cream.

Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

thats bullshit - she doesnt know how to make crepes. she mixed the ingredients the wrong way and she shouldnt have blended them with this electric mixer, it should be done with the hand.

and why the hell does she have to present a cook show with her tits falling out of the shirt? bleh!
