Pancake Day at a care home in Southgate, in London, was a flippin’ good affair this year with all the staff and residents getting into the spirit of the day and taking part.
The staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton House care home spent the morning flipping and turning pancakes in preparation for their annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Day celebrations.
Hugh Myddelton House decided to mark this year’s Pancake Day with a pancake flipping competition and of course, lots of pancakes.
Christopher Abrigo, head chef at the home, flipped more than 100 pancakes on the day, serving them up with both sweet and savoury fillings for all the eager staff and residents.
He said: “My secret to the best pancakes is all in the whipping. Give it some elbow grease when mixing the batter and you’ll get perfect pancakes every time.
"I like experimenting with the fillings - the residents’ favourites are chocolate spread and strawberries and of course, good old fashioned lemon and sugar.”
John, a resident at Hugh Myddelton, said: “I absolutely love pancake day, it takes me back to my childhood when my mother used to make us all pancakes and we’d all wait in turn for ours hoping the batter would stretch to another. We’ve had so much fun reminiscing and sharing our favourite recipes for fillings.”
