Because I now have “Log Cabin” Maple Syrup from America, I thought this recipe would be a nice treat for you to try on Shrove Tuesday which falls on 16th February this year.
In England and many other countries, Shrove Tuesday was widely associated with the eating of rich foods made with eggs, sugar and butter, such as pancakes and was often known simply as Pancake Day. It originally began as a way of using up ingredients such as sugar, fat and eggs, as their consumption was traditionally restricted during the fasting associated with Lent.
Double Choc Hot Cakes with Maple Syrup
1 egg 3 tablespoons sugar 1⁄2 cup milk 1 teaspoon of vanilla 1 cup of SR flour 1 tablespoon of good cocoa 2 teaspoons of melted butter Galaxy Minstrels (broken into pieces) Log Cabin Original Maple Syrup
Method: Whisk together the melted butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Alternately add the flour and the milk and mix until smooth and consistency of thick cream. Preheat frying pan to a medium heat and grease with a little bit of butter. Pour about two tablespoons per hotcake of the mix into the pan. While the first side is cooking drop a few pieces of the chocolate on top. When the surface is bubbly, flip with a spatula and
cook the other side. Place 4 on a plate and drizzle with Log Cabin Original Maple Syrup. Another breakfast treat is the American Pop Tart with flavours such as Cookies and Cream, Apple Strudel and Frosted Chocolate Fudge.
New in the fudge cabinet is chocolate pistachio fudge, our own nougat with blueberry craisins and pistachio, as well as a nougat log with chocolate fudge filling, caramel and a choice of either pistachios or almonds.
