One of my fondest childhood memories is of my mums delicious home made pancakes topped with golden syrup and whipped cream.
And so it was one stormy morning that my five year old daughter and I found ourselves stranded at Broady Shopping Centre, both of us just as scared as each other by the claps of thunder we could hear.
And then I noticed a sign that said pancakes, and I was taken back to a time where my mummy's pancakes cured the anxiety caused by the evil storm. I can't cook like my mum, so I made the best of a bad situation and excitedly told my girl we were going to have a 'girls brunch' and went about ordering us both a serve of pancakes with golden syrup, ice cream and strawberries. (Geez, makes me feel like going back there right now!)
Our girly brunch came really fast and the service was so pleasant. The servings of pancakes were HUGE! Three massive pancakes with huge dollops of ice cream and strawberries; I'm not too sure if the staff knew it was comfort food or not, but it certainly felt like as if we were being taken care of!
For $7.00 a plate, I honestly can't believe how scrumptious these were, and they did the trick - my daughter and I enjoyed our pancakes and special mummy-daughter time so much we forgot all about that evil storm. read more
