Shrove Tuesday - Pancake with Toffee Macadamia Nut Ice Cream and Nutella

You can't let Shrove Tuesday pass you by and not do some sweet pancakes.

Tonight I passed on the sugar and lemon - or Jif for satirists - and decided on some of Sainsbury's Toffee and Macadamia Nut with a couple of scoops of Nutella.

What can I say? It's a pancake. Tasted great, and the Nutella worked wonderfully with the macadamia nut ice cream.

We would have had seconds had we not been so full from the evenings previous savoury pancakes.

Ingredients: (Makes approximately 4-5 large pancakes)

220g plain flour

4 eggs

300ml milk with a touch of water

butter

ice cream

Nutella chocolate spread

Method:

1. Weight out the flour and sift into a bowl.

2. Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the eggs. Whisk together and gradually add the milk/water. Do not worry about any lumps as these will disappear after further whisking. Finish whisking when you have a thick, double cream consistency.

3. Add 2 tbps of melted butter to the mix and whisk once more.

4. Get your frying pan up to the highest heat possible, then reduce to a medium heat.

5. Lubricate the pan with more melted butter and add two ladles of pancake batter.

6. Rotate the pan, covering all sides with the batter mix and leave for a couple of minutes.

7. Flip your pancake if you dare, and cook for the same amount of time.

8. Add a spoon of ice cream and a couple of spoons of Nutella.

9. Serve.
