It’s Shrove Tuesday people, which means it’s the day before Lent. If you’re planning to do the abstinence thing for the next 40 days – get mixing some indulgent rum-flavoured pancakes. Here’s how:

Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum Butter Pancakes

6 oz butter
4 oz sifted icing sugar
3 tablespoons Appleton Estate Rum
8 oz plain flour
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
3/4 pint of milk
Oil for frying
Soft brown sugar

Method: 

  1. Soften the butter and beat in the sifted icing sugar and Appleton Estate Rum.
  2. Put in a covered container and chill until needed.
  3. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
  4. Make a well in the centre, drop in the eggs and beat into the flour with a little of the milk to give a thick, smooth cream.
  5. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk.
  6. Leave the batter to stand, covered in a cool place, for at least one hour.
  7. To cook the pancakes, heat a little oil in a pancake/omelette pan.
  8. Add just enough batter to cover the base of the pan.
  9. Cook until lightly golden and set on the underside.
  10. Using a lightly greased pan, continue with the recipe until you have about 12 pancakes.
  11. Keep the cooked pancakes warm between two clean tea towels as you cook them.
  12. Put a spoonful of chilled rum butter onto each pancake and fold into triangles.
  13. Arrange on a serving platter, scatter over the brown sugar serve with the Bannans Au Rhum (see recipe below) and lashings of cream or ice cream.
