Abra-ca-Debora Chocolate Cobweb Pancakes
Get the party started with your little ones with these fun-to-make yummy pancakes.
Serves: 6
Prep: 5 minutes
You’ll need icing bags and thick, plain nozzles.
Ingredients:
- 220g soft butter
- 340g icing sugar
- 110g cocoa powder, sifted
- 2-4 tbsp milk
- 6 Abra-ca-Debora Sweet Dutch Pancakes
Method:
- Beat the butter in a large bowl until fluffy. An electric whisk or food mixer is best for this bit.
- Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth, watch out for the stuff puffing up in a cloud!
- Add the remaining icing sugar, cocoa powder and one tablespoon of the milk, and beat until creamy. Beat in more milk if you need to loosen the icing.
- Plate up 6 cold Sweet Dutch Pancakes and fill the icing bags with the buttercream. If you have six bags, your little ones can all do the next bit at the same time, otherwise they’ll have to take it in turns.
- Get them to carefully ice an 8 pointed asterix star on their pancake. Then they can ice the spindly lines between the spokes that make the cobweb pattern.
- If you have any creepy-crawly sweets for Halloween and happen to have a spider or fly, you could add this to the cobwebs.
- Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.
Abra-ca-Debora Witch’s Brew Pancakes
Fire burn and cauldron bubble, it’s Halloween soon, dear. Before you send the youngsters out trick or treating, give them something filling.
Serves: 4
Prep: 10 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 rashers smoked bacon, snipped in pieces
- 2 leeks, thickly sliced on the slant
- 350g fresh pumpkin flesh, cut into small chunks
- 50g butter
- 700ml good quality chicken stock
- 250g long grain rice
- 4 Abra-ca-Debora Original Dutch Pancakes
Method:
- Melt the butter in a large sautéing pan. Fry the bacon for a minute before tossing in the leeks and pumpkin. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until pumpkin starts to soften. Stir occasionally.
- Tip in rice with some salt and pepper and stir well. Pour in stock. Bring to boil, cover and turn heat down to lowest setting. Simmer for 12 minutes, or until rice is soft.
- In the meantime, heat the pancakes in the microwave.
- When rice is soft, turn down heat and give everything a final stir. Spoon mix on to pancakes and wrap up. That’s a spooky supper!
