The current series of Masterchef, like I mentioned before is full of so called celebrities, famous for starring in soaps and for being famous. But I still watch it and get ideas and so does Florek- occasionally.  It was his idea to make the American style pancakes and he did, all by himself- I put the bacon in the oven, made us coffee and fed Izzie while watching him work.  I felt really happy this morning, with our awesome kiddo, showering us with smiles, with the smell of coffee and bacon in the oven. 😉

For the pancakes Florek used ROUGH guidance from iPlayer, then adjusted the flour, as the batter was not thick enough. He used about 175 g of plain flour, 1/2 tsp of bicarb soda, 35 g of sugar, 2 eggs, 125 ml buttermilk and 25 g of melted butter. The amount of milk we found is difficult to measure, the batter must be as thick as a good double cream. He fried the pancakes  quite large, so we didn’t manage all of them, but they tasted great with Canadian maple syrup and crispy bacon. I had some strawberries on mine, without which the whole thing would be a touch too sweet for me. Will be done again.
