This is the history behind pancake day and I thought this day would be perfect to share my favourite pancake recipe.

  I am a pancake addict and I usually don’t need a reason to eat pancakes, if you are visiting me on a Sunday you will probably be eating pancakes with me. Here’s a recipe that’s fit for everybody, it does not contain any eggs and is very simple to make. I used cinnamon to add a lovely flavour to it but you can replace this with vanilla extract or lemon zest. This would taste great with honey or maple syrup and some fresh fruits. I love blueberries and maple syrup and I adapted this blueberry syrup recipe from Nigella’s kitchen, and I absolutely love it for its taste and beautiful colour.
