Pancake day gin inspiration

Are you as totally obsessed with gin and tonics as me? If the answer is yes, then skip the pre-made M&S lemon, gin and tonic syrup and do it from scratch to maximise the gin!

This recipe incorporates both gin and tonic into the standard pancake batter and creates a gin and citrus syrup to drizzle on top. Read on for how to give your pancakes a fully gin inspired twist for Shrove Tuesday…

Gin and tonic pancakes for pancake day gin inspiration:

Pancakes with Star of Bombay gin and Fentimans & Bloom premix G&T

Recipe

Ingredients:

Batter

  • 200g self raising flour
  • 1 egg
  • 250ml gin and tonic (e.g. premix can or make your own, I used Fentimen’s and Bloom premix bottled gin and tonic)
  • 50ml milk
  • Mix together with a whisk until the lumps are gone

Syrup

  • Juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of gin (I used Star of Bombay from Bombay Sapphire)
  • Stir together on the stove and bring to the boil for 3 mins then take off the heat and let it cool

Cook

Heat a large frying pan over a medium high heat, and melt butter in it. Make small pancakes (think American rather than crepes), when bubbles are seen on the top flip them over and cook on the other side.

When you have your stacks of pancakes drizzle the gin syrup on top and enjoy!

    That is completely new to me. I would have never thought of Gin and Tonic pancakes or Gin and Tonic Syrup. I’m going to have to give these a try.

    well aren’t you clever! I love how you are using gin to cook but I have one question, your recipe calls for 250 mil of gin and tonic? Is that based on a single shot or double shot gin and tonic heheh?

      January 26, 2021 at 9:09 am

      You can make it as strong as you like Soheila! I think the pre-mixed ones are fairly weak ?

    Ooooh I like that you double down on the gin, both in the pancake batter AND the syrup 🙂 This sounds like an outstanding idea for a boozy pancake brunch – thank you!

    Definitely up for gin in my glass and gin in my cooking! I love that you use it for both the batter and the syrup to drizzle over!

      It’s got to be done for the utmost flavour! I also love how light the batter is with tonic in it.
