Pancake Day has come and gone this year, but I was able to enjoy some pancakes on Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day). This year, I went to pop-up "Where the Pancakes Are" in Flat Iron Square, a short walk away from Borough Market. Pancakes and cocktails were available to order, and I booked ahead for a morning of sweet indulgence. I do love a good pancake, but it has to be American-style pancakes.
Finding "Where the Pancakes Are" was a little bit tricky as there was not a sign for them in Flat Iron Square, so I had to ask someone before discovering that I was in the right place.
I ordered the Lemon Drop cocktail. Okay, it was the morning, so it may have been a little early for a cocktail. However, it is a one-off treat, so I had it. It included gin and limoncello and was a little tart to taste, which paired with the pancake.
I had the special pancake for Pancake Day on the menu, which was "A Very Lemony Affair". It included raspberries, pistacchio, candied lemon peel, vegan cream, lemon, and sugar. It was just enough for a light bite.
I then had the "Classic American" pancake, served with blueberries, bacon and Maple syrup. I preferred this pancake creation as it is the traditional pancake, and bacon always goes well with pancake.
The pancakes were good, but they forgot my pancake order. I received the drinks, but I never received the pancake that I ordered. I'd waited nearly an hour before it arrived, and they did not charge me for a couple of soft drinks due to the mix-up, which put me behind schedule for other things to do and see in London. But, the pancakes were good, and I did like that they were not too filling.
