Notes
I absolutely love them, especially with a strawberry compote with full flavoured summer strawberries
The raisins contribute towards your need for a portion of purple each day. I think this is the hardest colour to get every day, not as many foods fall into this category.
Sultanas are half the price, so use those if you need to
Variations
- A small nugget of butter in the pan gives a lovely flavour, as does a drizzle of maple syrup.
- A compote of any fruit, chopped up, is delicious with these.
- Any dried fruit can be substituted for the raisins.
- If you want to go exotic, how about dried mango.
- Or you could use some fresh fruit, raspberries from the garden say, or a few blueberries
- These pancakes feature in a vegetarian Christmas week plan, utilising 50g of mincemeat for a seasonal twist
