Geocache Description:

This has been cooking for a year, its now ready to serve. Wellies / Boots will be required after heavy rainfall

Cache is a small camoed tablock box

to make some delicious pancakes you will need .....

1. Eggs

Readily available at one of Northern Ireland biggest egg producers,located near Broughshane.

2. Flour

A former brewery located on the Galgorm Road in the town was converted to a flour mill in 1835 and milled four there until the early 1990s. The site is now occupied by a retail park.

3. Milk

Ballymena also has no shortage of Cow Juice with a major Dairy having a bottling/disribution plant nearby

4. Butter

Travel a few miles upstream on the Maine and you wil find ample supplies of freshly made butter

5. Take my cooking instructions with a pinch of salt 

Instructions

  1. Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets a airing. 
     
  2. Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it.
     
  3. Whisk the eggs making sure any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl are mixed in with the egg.
     
  4. Gradually add small quantities of the milk, still whisking
     
  5. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. 
     
  6. Melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a non-stick frying pan. 
     
  7. Spoon 2 tbsp of the melted butter into the batter and whisk it in.
     
  8. Let the pancake mix stand for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
     
  9. Pour any left over butter into a dish. This will be used later to grease the frying pan after each pancake has been made.
     
  10. Make sure the non-stick frying pan is really hot before adding about 2 tbsp of the batter mixture. 
     
  11. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip the pan around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. 
     
  12. Carefully lift the edge of the cooked pancake with a palette knife to see if it's tinged gold as it should be.
     
  13. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife to cook the other side
     
  14. Slide it out of the pan onto a plate.
     
  15. Stack the pancakes as you make them between sheets of greaseproof paper on a plate.
