At one time pancakes were only eaten when people ate up rich foods, like eggs, sugar and milk before they fasted for 40 days during Lent. Nowadays, many of us tend to smother our pancakes with chocolate spread or lashings of lemon juice and sugar which, although tasty, may not be the most nutritious options for our skin.
If you’re after a mouth-watering savoury or sweet pancake recipe that also happens to be healthy, why not try my skin friendly pancakes yourself?
