PANCAKE DAY! AmeriBritish Pancakes

I have been looking forward to this day all week! Fine then all year!

With a few friends round, I thought why not make a big batch of lovely British pancakes. I open the fridge, measure out the milk, add a touch of water, 5 serving spoons of plain flour and go to grab 2 eggs... but no! I had 12 eggs at the start of the week! I wanted to cry.

So what I did was substituted the eggs with vegatable oil.

And so the AmeriBristish Pancake was born.

Tastes like British, looks like American.

chocolate fudge icing covered brownie with white chocolate chips

This was an experiment that just went so right!

OMG!

The recipe that I put up recently (chocolate fudge cake) is where I go the inspiration from this one! I made the same icing and then to make it even better put the most amazing chocolate brownie underneath.

So I started with the brownie! super easy!

100g milk chocolate
75g butter
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
45g plain flour
2 tbsp of drinking chocolate (I use the sainsbury's one that has sugar and powdered milk in)
pinch of salt
50g milk/white chocolate buttons/drops/broken up bar

melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl (i find a metal mixing bowl is the best) over a pan of boiling water. Once all is melted, take off of the heat and then mix in the sugar. Add the eggs, then the flour, drinking chocolate and the salt. Don't forget the chocolate pieces !

Pop into a tray lined with grease proof paper and then into an oven that should be at 180 degrees. cook until it looks crusty on top. Put the icing on the brownie straight away!

For the icing see the chocolate fudge cake in my earlier recipes!

Grand Mary cake

Growing up I always remember my great grand mother making these lovely little upside down fairy cakes covered in jam and coconut. So I made a big one ! 

125g butter

125g caster sugar

125g self rasing flour

2 eggs

Vanilla essence 

Mix all together as usual . Grease or line a tin with grease proof paper. Then cook in the oven at 180 degrees for about half an hour, until a knife comes out clean !! 

Place the jam (strawberry or raspberry) on top while the cake is still warm out of the oven. Wait to cool , take out of the tin and sprinkle with sweetened coconut ! De-lish !
