A luxury self-catering Pancake Day…

There has got to be nothing more frustrating on a holiday than booking a self catering property and then finding that the kitchen is not up to scratch for cooking in, defeating the purposing of going self-catered and ending up eating out every night of the week. We are by no means suggesting a self-catering stay should be about being tied to the stove, but home the comforts of being able to are always more than welcome on our own family holidays...

So we decided to put our luxury self-catering apartments in Cornwall kitchen's to the test and fry ourselves up a few delectable flip-able pancakes. Starting off with the freshest ingredients I head up the stairs into the self-catering apartment Beach, a wonderfully spacious three-bedroom property with an open plan living, dining and kitchen on the top floor, with loft style open beams and Velux windows, where the St Ives light floods the room.

Depositing all ingredients on to the generous central island in the kitchen I set about locating a frying pan, where upon I found a plethora of different sizes, shapes and depth frying pans, pots, casserole dishes and baking trays. From this collection I selected the perfectly formed frying pan with a slight slope; ideal for flipping pancakes with.

Electric hob on, pan settled, I portioned off a small sliver of Trewithen butter to prime the pan, and then came the whisking of the batter, once again I was spoilt for choice in selecting the right bowl and a whisk was already waiting within grabbing distance, poking up out of the aptly marked utensils pot.

All in all a success, and as I sip my freshly drawn Nespresso and sit back to enjoy the five star surroundings my mind starts to wonder what other delicious morsels could be cooked up in this exquisite kitchen after a wonderful afternoon stroll on Porthmeor beach which sits on the doorstep to the luxury self-catering apartment in Cornwall, St Ives.
