Greene King has devised a new recipe for pancakes — using old Speckled Hen in the batter.
Greene King head brewer John Bexon said: "Shrove Tuesday is a flippin' good excuse to enjoy an "Old Speckled Hen". Batter made from the beer complements the toffee sauce suggested in our new recipe and tastes even better washed down with a pint of the not so traditional English ale."
The recipe is:
Pancakes
1/2 pt of "Old Speckled Hen"
2 eggs
100gms plain flour
Mix all of the ingredients together until they are the consistency of double cream. Fry in batches in a very hot well oiled frying pan.
Toffee Sauce
75gms Butter
75gms brown sugar
75gms golden syrup
2 tablespoons condensed milk
Heat all the ingredients together until combined and the sugar has melted.
Serve with chopped nuts, raisins and a pint of Old Speckled Hen.
