    How do you like your pancakes? {Hob Pride Pancake Challenge}

    February 21, 2017 - By

Next week we will be celebrating Pancake Day here in the UK. My husband *always* makes the pancakes in our house so I have been practising so I can make them for a change.

    Getting ready for Pancake Day

    March 2, 2014 - By 

    Are you excited about Pancake Day next week? We are! It has to be one of my favourite childhood memories – the anticipation, the smell and sounds of the cooking and of course, the yummy flavours. I think Pancake Day remains special because although pancakes are simple, cheap and quick to make, we usually only eat them once a year.

You really don’t need many…
