We LOVE pancakes here in Squibblesville but we have a question: What’s your favourite topping?

The Quick Classic Pancake!
==========================

**Ingredients:**

• **100g** plain flour

• **2** large eggs

• **300ml** milk

• **1 tbsp** sunflower oil or melted butter (plus a little extra for the pan)

• A pinch of salt

**The Method:**

1\. **Whisk:** Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Crack the eggs into the middle, add a splash of the milk and the oil, and whisk it into a smooth, thick paste.

2\. **Thin:** Gradually pour in the rest of the milk, whisking continuously until the batter looks like single cream.

3\. **Fry:** Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in just enough batter to coat the base, swirling it to the edges.

4\. **Flip:** Cook for about 1 minute until golden underneath, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.

CRAZY TOPPINGS!
===============

**Sweet & Sour:** Sprinkle with granulated sugar or squidgy honey and then finish off with a generous squirt of lemon juice!

**Colin's Magic Backpack Surprise:** A hidden pocket of rainbow popping candy, edible glitter, and multi-coloured mini marshmallows tucked between pancake layers, bursting out when you cut into it!

**The Squibblesville Paint Palette:** Little dollops of bright fruit purées—strawberry red, mango orange, and blackberry blue—served with a food-safe brush or spoon so kids can colour their own edible masterpieces.

**The Tyger Pawz Crunch:** Bold tiger stripes of orange icing and dark chocolate drizzle, topped with crushed honeycomb pieces for a roar of flavour that encourages courage with every single courageous bite of courageness.

**The Community Rainbow Tower:** Layers of different coloured fruit—kiwis, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries—stacked high with lots of sticky syrup to hold everyone together in a big, sweet hug. Add squirt cream for extra cheekiness!

Enjoy those pancakes and don’t eat too many!
