🥘 Ingredients

6 eggs, 1 pint of cream, 1/4 lb. of loaf sugar, 1 glass of sherry, 1/2 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, flour.

👨‍🍳 Method

Ascertain that the eggs are extremely fresh, beat them well, strain and mix with them the cream, pounded sugar, wine, nutmeg, and as much flour as will make the batter nearly as thick as that for ordinary pancakes. Make the frying-pan hot, wipe it with a clean cloth, pour in sufficient batter to make a thin pancake, and fry it for about 5 minutes. Dish the pancakes piled one above the other, strew sifted sugar between each, and serve.

A lesson in doing more with less

I tried the Richer Pancakes this week, expecting a simple flapjack — but I found myself in for a treat. The real surprise was the sherry; it didn't overpower, but rather lent a subtle warmth and depth to the batter, like a gentle sunset behind a cloud. The batter was a dream to work with, sliding smoothly into the pan and yielding pancakes that were golden and luscious, almost like a cross between a crepe and a Yorkshire pudding. The technique was straightforward, but the result was far from ordinary. This recipe is perfect for the weeknight cook looking to elevate their breakfast game. The key is to keep the pan hot and the batter moving — it's a dance, really, but one that's worth learning. I served mine with a dusting of powdered sugar, but I can see these being a hit with a dollop of lemon curd or a splash of orange liqueur. The next time you're craving something a little more indulgent than your average pancake, give these a whirl — your taste buds will thank you.
