I fear that sometimes the cooks who invent recipes for magazines get so desperate for new ideas that they become impractical and present old staples in ridiculously unworkable ways. Last nights supper was savoury mince pancakes…a la pretentious. Instead of simply rolling up pancakes with a good savoury mince filling and a coating of nice sauce, they decided to get fancy and make a pancake stack. So we did too. Pancakes are layered with savoury mince one on top of the other and then the stack is cut in wedges like a cake. The picture in the book looks very attractive, but I don’t know how they were able to get such a clean slice with all the bits still in the stack. When you cut it the mince falls all over the place, and when you eat it, it falls apart. We served a wedge each with a simple green salad but both son and I decided that the same food served the good old fashioned pancake way would be a much better way to go next time.
