Pancakes - Making A Meal Of It, All Year Round

Yippee!

"Once a year, pancakes enjoy a special slot in people's dinner diaries, but don't bury those frying pans just yet. If you're short on cooking time, pancakes can make a nutritious meal to be enjoyed at any time of the year.

Heart-healthy batter

Reduce the saturated fat content by using semi-skimmed or skimmed milk. Eggs provide protein, vitamins and minerals and are high in monounsaturated fats that help promote healthy cholesterol levels. By choosing wholemeal flour, or a mixture of half brown-half white, or oatmeal, you will increase the fibre content, which is great for the heart and for feeling full. Get those arm muscles working as you whisk up a frothy batter and cook with a teaspoon of rapeseed oil or a spray oil."

OMG, and exercise to boot!

Work those leg muscles and press the batter like grapes for wine.

Careful now. Don't sweat in the batter and up the sodium content.
