It's also a nice way for the kids to get involved and allows them to create some funky pancake designs.

If 2021 is your year for trying something a bit different, this could be the way to go says Steph:
"Seafood pancakes... We all remember back in the 80's seafood pancakes were a thing when you went to the pub! "You can make a bechamel sauce, you pop in your prawns or smoked haddock and roll it a bit like a cannelloni. You then add a bit of cheese on top and put it under the grill - gorgeous."Other Pancake Variations According to Steph, there's so much more you can do with pancakes, including American-style and buttermilk variations:
"Looking at American-style pancakes, you can add streaky bacon, maple syrup or fresh fruit like blueberries and bananas. But just remember with American-style pancakes that you need to add baking powder, some vanilla essence and caster sugar into the mix. "Another one you can do is use buttermilk instead of ordinary milk and you can make buttermilk pancakes with a nice tangy difference."But when it all comes down to it, Steph says it's all about getting together and having fun with food: [audio mp3="https://vouchers.yourharrogate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Pancake-day-steph-2.mp3"][/audio] Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
