Elephant Pancake

In honor of National Pancake Day, Logan and I went out for free pancakes at IHOP last night - see how desperate we are for new food ideas!!! It got me thinking about pancake day in England. Shrove Tuesday is pancake day. Traditionally in Britain they eat pancakes, often served with sugar and lemon, on the last day before Lent. This is the craziest pancake recipe I heard while I was over there. This isn't something I would normally post, but it's fun and it's something to get us started!

Elephant Pancakes

Put a huge pancake on a large plate. Spread cherry pie filling on top. Put another pancake on top of the first and place canned pineapple chunks on that. Pour maple syrup over the pineapple. Put another pancake on top and place banana slices over it. Pour maple syrup over the bananas. Place a final pancake on top and microwave the whole lot for a couple of minutes. Pour hot chocolate fudge sauce over it all, sprinkle on some coconut. Serve with ice cream or cream and enjoy!

Now, if you have time to make all that and eat all that, you probably have enough time on your hands to make one of these fabulous and very fashionable evening gowns entirely out of balloons!
Happy cooking everyone!
