Back in 2013 I took a trip to NZ to see my family. I had a glorious fortnight catching up with loved ones, driving to the top of the north island to see my favourite pottery studios, taking my then 5 & 3yo children to the black sand beaches of my childhood. 11 years later, my son's sole memory of the holiday was going to the cinema in Auckland to see Despicable Me. Typical. Except I'm not much better, because the memory I keep returning to is a glorious breakfast I had in Ponsonby - it was a plate of gingerbread spiced pancakes, stacked high and dripping with butter and syrup.
When I returned home I set about creating my own version and it's since become a family favourite. I like to serve these pancakes with whipped honey cinnamon butter. I've added the simple instructions on how to make it after the pancake recipe - try it and I swear you'll wonder why you ever bothered eating pancakes without whipped butter! |
