Today (February 13) is Pancake Day and here are some top recipe tips and ideas from the rural community.

It is probably the only day of the year when no matter what time of day it is, pancakes are acceptable for breakfast, lunch or evening meal.

The question is, how do you eat yours? Perhaps you go for classic lemon and sugar, or maybe you have your very own recipe and unique topping.

However you eat your pancakes, remember all the ingredients come from our fantastic UK farmers.

Pancake in a mug by Jenny Jefferies

Ingredients

1 mug of plain flour
1 mug of milk
1 egg

Method

Pour the flour into the first mug till it is even with the top then sieve it into the mixing bowl.
Pour the milk into the second mug till it is even with the top then pour it into the same bowl.
Crack the egg into the middle and mix it all together.

Pour approximately one fifth of batter into your pancake pan then swirl it around till it covers the whole surface area of your pan by moving the pan around.
After about 30 seconds flip the pancake over if you can or just take your spatula and use that to flip it over, then wait another 30 seconds, repeat this process until your pancake is golden brown on both sides. Repeat this with all your pancakes, then its time to select your favourite topping.

Jennys favourite toppings:

• The classic lemon juice and sugar. You cant go wrong with this classic.
• Chopped banana and chocolate spread to really indulge your senses.
• Frozen berries, runny honey and natural yoghurt for a more healthy alternative.
