Perfect pancake day.

There is nothing more delicious than a freshly made pancake, especially when enjoyed on the most sacred of all holy days, Shrove Tuesday, also known as a legitimate excuse to tuck into some delectably fluffy pancakes completely guilt free. This year, I thought I would share some of my more unusual pancake recipes to really put some spice into your celebrations. However, I would like to make it clear that this in no way means that the unbeatable classic of lemon juice and sugar should be ignored. Heaven forbid...

Maple syrup cookies.

I don't know what it is about maple syrup that makes me want to lick my lips whilst smiling profusely and looking like a bit of an idiot. Obviously there are few things better in the world than a steaming plate of thick and fluffy scotch pancakes drenched in maple syrup, but for those times when you want something to snack on that's still going to give you that hit of sweet syrupy goodness, these cookies are definitely for you.
