Pancakes Archives - Sophster-Toaster

I’m trying something slightly new with the Brunch Babe Skirt. Instead of offering regular, tall or petite sizes directly from the listing, I’m going to make the new pancake print skirt available in two standard lengths – either knee or midi length.

Really, I couldn’t make up my mind as to whether this print would be better as a knee length or midi length skirt, so I’m making both and letting you decide! Jeans and fancy pants are frequently available with two or more length options so I figured, why not skirts too?

I’ve had this fruit-topped pancake stack fabric bookmarked for years, waiting for the right time and idea to use it. When another idea for the fall season fell through, I jumped on this echo of inspiration and solidified it into a proper plan. This unique, novelty print by Patty Sloniger of Beck and Lundy is completely gorgeous. I’m so glad I finally got to use it.

Tall and petite sizes for either length of this skirt are still available upon request, here, through the shop.

At least once a decade, my birthday falls on Pancake Tuesday. TODAY IS THAT DAY!

So of course, using Jamie Oliver’s recipe for quick pancakes, I whipped up a colourful treat for myself this 9862nd morning of my life.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup skim milk
1 egg from a well-treated chicken
1 pinch Kosher salt
3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
a bit of butter

½ whipping cream
½ tsp vanilla paste

Method

Whisk together flour, milk, egg and salt until smooth. Add most of the sprinkles, reserving some for garnish, and whisk until just mixed in.
Put a large pan on medium heat. Add a bit of butter to the pan at the start of each cooking batch. Once melted, add the pancake batter a spoonful at a time. Fill when bubbles rise to the surface and break. Remove from pan when both sides are golden and crispy.
Add whipping cream and vanilla paste (you can add a bit of sugar too if you like) to a small bowl and whisk until the cream reaches soft peaks.
Spoon whipped cream over a stack of pancakes. Add sprinkles from a high. Drizzle with maple syrup if you know what’s good for you.
