It’s so annoying when you have milk which says it’s in date but has just turned. Or is a day out and tasting off. But did you know that as long as it hasn’t not separated, this just-gone off milk can be used in cooking? Which is why these Spoilt Milk One Cup Pancakes saved my sanity – and breakfast – one day.
One morning, after the kids spat out their cereal in disgust, I found myself with over a litre of milk I was loathed to throw away. But after a bit of a think about where any sour tang would work decided to give some pancakes a go. These are an American meets French style pancake, they aren’t too think and fluffy but are sturdy enough to be frozen which is what you need to do with a lot of milk to use up! They are also massively adaptable. I made a straight batch, then another portion with blueberries and a chocolate batch. You could add some raspberries, chocolate chips, raisins, grated parmesan – they are a really good vehicle for adding lots of flavours.
And of course you don’t need sour milk to make them! Fresh is just fine too!! But when you consider that a estimated 360,000 tonnes of milk is thrown away dail in the UK, it would certainly help if everyone made these pancakes… And they are just so easy, you only need a cup, no need to worry about a measuring jug or scales.
Given the milk would have been binned the pancakes cost pennies to make with the egg and flour coming in at just 30p using economy flour – which is absolutely good enough.
Sometimes you just need breakfast to be special. These pancakes are perfect for those moments. I call them my Banoffee Pie Pancakes because of the classic mix of flavours. They are perfect for using up a few old bananas and for a lower calorie option […]
