Pancake Day News Issue 1, 2014

Issue 1, 2014

Who doesn’t love pancakes and fun? Penny Pancake does. Even better, she loves to visit Pancake Day events all over South Australia.

Inside this edition of Pancake Day News, have a look at just a few of the great places that Penny went to this March for Pancake Day. This year, thanks to you, we raised over $38,000 to help UnitingCare agencies here in South Australia, who offer support and care all over our great state. Over $15,000 went directly to agencies to support their programs. And in the coming weeks, the remainder of the funds raised will go to agencies through Pancake Day grants.

Why your help makes a difference: Pancake Day wouldn’t exist without our amazing supporters.

Of the money you raised this year, only 13.8% will go towards administration and communication fees all thanks to our sponsors.

That means that 86 cents of every dollar you’ve sent in to Pancake Day will go directly to programs assisting people in our communities.

Pancake Day is celebrated at St Andrew’s Hospital.

Penny’s Choice!

Thank you to our Event Partner:

Penny’s Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes 1 1/2 cups ground oats (grind in food processor) 1/2 cup flour of choice (pastry is best, gluten free is ok)

Gold Sponsor

Pinch salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 cups milk of choice (soy, almond, coconut, lactose-free), room temperature 1 egg, if desired, also room temperature 1/4 cup oil of choice (Penny likes sunflower oil) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir very well. In a separate bowl, whisk together all liquid ingredients. Pour dry into wet, and stir together to form a batter. (Note: if the batter is too thin – which might be the case especially if using cup measurements of ww pastry flour – just add a little more flour until you get a pancake-esque batter.) Lightly grease a medium skillet, then place over medium heat. When pan is hot (see TIP 2), drop ladelfuls of batter onto the skillet. Flip pancakes, using a spatula, when the edges begin to look dry and bubbles are all over the pancake. Allow to cook one minute longer, then remove from heat. Serve with your favorite pancake toppings.

TIP 1: Penny likes to use a cast iron skillet for pancakes. She gets a perfect result every time!

TIP 2: Test the heat of your skillet by throwing a few drops of water onto the surface.

When the water sizzles, the pan is ready for the pancake batter. Recipe makes 8-10 large pancakes.
