Pancake Tuesday!

Finally, it's that time of year again! Everyone loves pancakes, but there can always be a panic when the day comes around trying to search online and find the best recipe and ingredients. We're here to help! This recipe from Donal Skehan that we found in the Irish Times is absolutely fabulous, and what we really like is that it's from a home-grown Irish chef and using the best Irish ingredients!

For the ingredients we encourage everyone to use Irish made flour (like Odlums) and we're also lucky in that we can use Wexford Creamery milk and butter (with some suppliers right here here in Blackwater) and while in the countryside it's easy to find a friend with chickens and a few spare eggs, no matter where you are it's always best to use chicken-friendly, free-range eggs (in Wexford we love Kilincooley Eggs too!). For toppings, our favourite pancake topping is strawberries, and luckily we saved a few from our summer garden last year and froze them!

Enjoy!
