Love Dorothys recipes as I’m a busy chef and don’t have to read her life story before getting to the recipe , love the custard pancakes! Turned out perfect also banana chocolate cake yum thank you Dorothy!
Average flavour, more crepe than pancakes, something’s off with the ratios as barely had any rise, I added another half cup off flour and 1/2 tsp of baking powder and lemon zest in second batch, still not right. Oh well
Dorothy is my grandmother. She was an amazing woman. Unfortunately, we lost her 13 years ago. So lovely to see her live on in infamy via her famous custard powder pancakes (secretly, Dorothy would have loved seeing her name in print). With regards to the mixture being so thin, these are more like a crepe as opposed to a fluffy pancake. We eat ours rolled up with golden syrup.
