SPEN COURT CARE HOME HAS FLIPPIN’ FUN PANCAKE DAY

The staff and residents at Spen Court care home in Heckmondwike have been mixing up batter and flipping pancakes all morning in preparation for their annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Day celebrations.

Spen Court has marked this year’s Pancake Day with a pancake tossing competition and of course, lots of pancakes! The home chef, flipped more than 50 pancakes, serving them up with 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 honey, chocolate spread and banana and of course, good old-fashioned lemon and sugar!”

John, a resident at Spen Court, commented: “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.”
