<\/a><\/p>\n Have you been to No 5 Church Lane<\/a><\/span> yet? I love the name of it as it makes me think of London for some reason. Like I expect a victorian couple to come wandering out of there saying ” No 5 Church Lane. How frightfully marvellous. And it is. Marvellous. It’s all dark with sexy lighting and gorgeous food and having recently been taken over by Eichardt’s<\/a> I knew it would remain a goody. And it did.<\/p>\n Here is a gorgeous wee recipe for buttermilk pancakes. Which I actually like to eat for dinner when I feel homesick as they’re all comforting and lovely. Thank you No 5 Church Lane.<\/p>\n Buttermilk Pancakes<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Buttermilk, the liquid left over when cream is made into butter, is a magic baking ingredient which always results in a lighter, fluffier and moister version than the usual. It works a treat in muffins, scones and these here pancakes.<\/p>\n Makes enough for 4 servings: Put everything into a big bowl and stir it just to combine, not until perfectly smooth; still a little lumpy is good.<\/p>\n Preheat a frying pan over a medium-low heat and lightly grease it; either by quickly rubbing the cooking surface with a stick of butter, or with canola oil spray.<\/p>\n Drop dollops of the batter into the pan, leaving room for them to spread out as they cook. At this stage you can drop in a few blueberries if you wish. Fry for about\u00a0 2 minutes or until you see bubbles appearing on the top of the uncooked side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.<\/p>\n Serve with whatever takes your fancy; bacon, banana, cream, mascarpone, it\u2019s all good. Just please show them some love by using real maple syrup rather than \u201cmaple-flavoured\u201d frankensyrup. It\u2019s twice the price but ten times tastier.<\/p>\n I love the Frankensyrup comment. Well played No 5, well played.<\/p>\n No 5 Church Lane Have you been to No 5 Church Lane yet?
