The Pancake

The Humble Pancake

The Pancake Parlour is constantly working at making their pancakes “awesome.” It all starts with using the best pancake flour available and cooking each pancake until it is golden brown.

The family eat in the restaurants almost every day and this ensures that the high standards reached are maintained.

Making a perfect pancake is not as easy as it may first appear. The most important thing is having fresh ingredients. The Pancake Parlour has all the flours milled fresh especially for their restaurants, to their own specifications. They use free range eggs for health and taste and milk is used in all pancake mixes, not water.

The Lovely Lady’s Policy

“Pancakes should be made to the following standards and never vary. The batter is lightly beaten and slightly lumpy to trap the air in the mix, so that it rises on the hotplate, producing a light, fluffy, golden brown pancake. The texture should be easy to cut and each pancake should be 114.3 mm in diameter and 9.52mm in height. This is achieved by pouring the pancake mix onto a lightly oiled 190 degree hotplate. After 90 seconds, bubbles should appear and the edges of the buttermilk pancake turn a creamy yellow. The pancake should then be turned with a wide spatula and left for a further 60 seconds as the crisp top and bottom and dried edges form, cooking the centre to perfection.” The Lovely Lady.
