The mouths have been watering since the turn of the year. The ‘New Year, New You’ diet is slowly drawing to a close and what a way to put it to bed. Everyone get the eggs out…..it’s Pancake Day! Taking place 47 days before Easter, this year it lands on Tuesday 28th February, and Pancake Day is an irresistible opportunity for you to dabble in your guilty pleasure before Lent starts. Whether you are religious or not Pancake Day is a blessing, therefore we owe it to you to make you the Flippin’ King. Introducing you to our top tips that’ll whisk you up to become Pancake Royalty…..
‘The Flip’
This arguably the most important 10 seconds in your career, you stick the landing and you are on the road to Pancake Royalty. Flipping a pancake is not easy; it is an art, poetic in nature, but get it wrong and the admiration of all spectators will not be the only thing falling. For a split second you could have a stream of adoring gazes beseeched upon you, a once in a lifetime opportunity, a look that finally says “I’m proud to know the Flippin’ King”. To achieve such greatness, the right pan is essential. A Bourgeat Non-Stick Crepe Pan is one of the best in the industry. The weight, the width and the size are all perfectly tuned to give you the best chance to nail the all-important flip with the finest steel coated handle sure to give you the support you need. A pan built for performance, there is no better occasion than Pancake Day to showcase its talents. With confidence sky high, don’t be afraid to try the ambitious yet achievable double flip (a trick that even Tom Daley struggles with).
Presentation
You have gone to all that effort to whip up the best pancake possible, so are you going to put it on an old, stained, chipped plate and throw it on the table? Not this year. This year you want to be the King, and presentation is key. With the use of a Churchill Stonecast Duck Egg Blue Coupe Plate, you are sure to achieve maximum effect. The plate in isolation is a thing of beauty but it’s combination with delicious pancakes mean that euphoria is on the horizon. With critics patiently waiting at the table, ready to judge you’re overall performance, they will have no choice but to give you an 11 out of 10 for presentation. You’ll even have little ones giving you a standing ovation…..before they demolish everything but the plate. Luckily for you, the super vitrified crockery is built to withstand a pancake filled five year old.
New Fenders on your Blender
Are you tired of mixing the ingredients manually? Are you tired of using that battered old wooden spoon? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a voice activated, self-mixing, music playing, fire breathing hand blender? Of course it would but since that hasn’t been invented (YET!) use the next best thing, our range of stick blenders. The once time consuming eggs and flour combination is no longer a chore…..it’s entertainment! You know what they say….’You are what you use to make pancakes!’ And you’re using the coolest equipment so, by default, you are the coolest.
