Calling all chocoholics. Love pancakes? Love chocolate? Chef Alan Fitzmaurice at The Glasshouse has combined both to create a pretty perfect pancake. It’s the Glasshouse Brownie Pancake – a standard pancake (with a chocolate flavour) folded in two and stuffed to bursting with a chocolatey, gooey, delicious brownie centre. It might take a little more time than the standard pancake but wow does it pack a punch! Trust us – it’s worth the effort. (OUR TIP – try it with vanilla ice cream)
If flipping your own pancakes is just too much flipping trouble – check out all the cafés and restaurants on the Sligo Food Trail for some outstanding options. Whatever you do – don’t miss out on pancakes this Shrove Tuesday.
