Pancake day is almost upon us! Charlotte Smallman from one of our recommended caterers Richmond Creative talks us through one of her favourite, unusual but delicious, pancake recipes:
‘We love pancakes. We are very lucky to be cooked lunch by our chefs every day that means Pancake Day has always been as fun at work as it is at home. Nostalgia sets in but the simple squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of sugar is not enough for our talented chef brigade.
Typically our office team stays away from the stove but an excuse to toss the pancake the highest and claim the victory is too much to avoid. Our Pancake Day menu this year is set to be another exciting breakfast menu we would love to share with you and thought it would be nice to try something a little different.
I asked our chef, Geoff Curtis for his favourite pancake recipe that we would love to share with you’.
