There’s really no denying how much I enjoy pancakes. I just checked the calendar and realized that Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday as some call it, is just around the corner. I always try to remember to make pancakes with my kids on that day. It’s the day before the start of Lent, and growing up, Shrove Tuesday was always something my mom celebrated with me and my brothers and sisters.
Often I make a pretty straight forward pancake recipe, one you can’t really go wrong with. It makes nice fluffy, easy to please pancakes with ingredients I always have in my fridge/pantry. 1 egg, 1 tbs sugar, 1 tbs baking powder, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbs oil or melted butter. Love them. But I think my favourite pancake recipe is actually the whole wheat blueberry pancakes recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. It’s one of my favourite baking websites and these pancakes are a little more dense and filling and just plain delicious. You can check out the recipe for yourself HERE.
If you don’t feel like making the pancakes yourself and you’re looking for a nice place to eat out with the kids, here are some of my favourite Ottawa spots for pancakes. NOTE: THESE PLACES ALL PASS MY KID FRIENDLY DESIGNATION.
I’ve been all caught up in Winterlude, that I almost forgot that soon…
Canada Day 2019 is just days away. How will you be celebrating? Do you like…
