Achieve A Better Batter This Shrove Tuesday

The simple things in life are hard to improve upon. You really can’t beat a golden pancake, freshly flipped and served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of caster sugar. Delicious. And if you fancy something more substantial there are thousands of fantastic savoury and sweet recipes out there to help you get creative with your crepes.

But what about the batter? What is the secret ingredient which will promote your pancakes to the premier league of puddings?

The answer is simple – upgrade to Jersey and Guernsey milk. You won’t believe the difference it makes. The unique milk from Jersey and Guernsey cows is rich and creamy in flavour and is used to make an extensive range of dairy delicacies including cheese, cream, yoghurt, ice cream and butters and it’s perfect in our pancake recipe.
