Who knew I would be such a fan of Pancakes and Pancake day (16th February) is the best day to indulge in all the sweet and savoury. Also known as “Mardi Gras” and “Fat Tuesday” in France and USA. It is a day most enjoyed by the sweet tooth and brings the family together around the table. Also a nice little treat to take into work. I know family together, going into work seems a little odd to mention considering we are still on Lockdown in the UK. But it will happen again, soon I hope!
Pancakes Made Easy Peasy
As you all know already I’m vegan so the pancakes I am sharing contain no animal products. That includes no dairy (milk, eggs or butter). Can pancakes be made vegan err hell yes! Just swap out the animal products for the natural alternatives and there are a lot of alternatives now days. Pancakes aren’t just for fruit but also for *cheese and *meats (*vegan). The pictures in this post were taken by me.
