With pancake day fast approaching, you may be looking for some unique twists to the traditional pancake recipe.
And while one way to mix it up is to opt for some different toppings, there are a number of other ways to diverge from the usual pancake dish.
One has been shared on TikTok by baking influencer Cathryn Laura Wood, who posted a video showing her rather unique pancake spaghetti, which she topped with strawberries and yoghurt.
Other users of the video-sharing app were quick to comment, with one writing: “This is a strange concept however I am intruiged hahah,” to which Cathryn replied: “I saw it and had to try it [two laughing emojis] works so well but I need it with chocolate sauce and chocolates instead of yogurt and fruit.”
Another fan labelled the pancake spaghetti “so cute”, and a third simply shared: “Ooh not sure about this but going to give it a go!”
Ingredients
- 135g of plain flour
- Two tbsp of caster sugar
- 200ml milk
- One large egg
- Your choice of toppings – while Cathryn uses yoghurt and strawberries in her video, she also recommends trying chocolate sauce. Other options include the traditional lemon and sugar or maple syrup.
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, milk and egg, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
The batter needs to be quite thick but still pipeable – similar to the consistency of water icing. Put the batter into a piping tube before moving onto the next steps.
Heat a pan on the hob and pipe the batter into a spiral, cooking for a second or so on each side. Sharing how she flipped these, Cathryn remarked that it was rather difficult before adding: “But it cooks through anyway, so I just turned it over and flipped each bit over to the other side.”
Once cooked just plate up and serve with your choice of toppings.
