Dear Diary, I Had Some Pancakes at Westerberg High
Inspired by Heathers The Musical (US/UK) and Heathers The Musical: Teen Edition (US/UK)
You have been instructed by the Heathers to find them a pancake dish with corn nuts before heading to the big party. Spread a generous amount of Nutella, or any hazelnut cocoa spread, before sprinkling some salted and roasted corn nuts on top of your pancakes. Complete the dish with a frozen strawberry-flavoured slurpee drink on the side.
My Favorite Things
Inspired by The Sound of Music (US/UK) and The Sound of Music: Youth Edition (US/UK)
Maria confesses her love of “crisp apple strudels” and “schnitzel with noodles” in the song “My Favorite Things.” For this pancake topping, try a deconstructed apple strudel without the pastry: slices of Granny Smith apple for tartness, chopped walnuts and raisins, and a syrup with brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice.
Pancake Day is the Best Day Ever
Inspired by The SpongeBob Musical (US/UK) and The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition (US/UK)
Taking inspiration from the iconic house where SpongeBob SquarePants lives under the sea, create some tropical upside-down pineapple and banana pancakes. Top each pancake with a pineapple ring and slices of banana. Serve the pancakes with maple syrup. It’ll truly be the Best Bikini Bottom Day Ever with this tasty pancake dish!
Royal Feast for the Queens
Inspired by SIX (US/UK) and SIX: TEEN EDITION (US/UK)
Don’t lose your head! You’re invited to join the pancake feast hosted by the six queens at the palace in Richmond. This savoury dish with wild game reflects the abundance of meat and wealth at Henry VIII’s court. If you don’t have any grilled venison or pheasant handy, substitute roast beef or turkey. Don’t forget to sprinkle some spices that, at the time, were deemed to be expensive – cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg or pepper. Or be creative and come up with six different toppings, one suited for each of the queens.
Work of Art
Inspired by Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (US/UK) and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie: Teen Edition (US/UK)
You are planning to make some pancakes and bring them to Jamie New’s 16th birthday celebration. Taking inspiration from Ray’s (Jamie’s mum’s best friend) gift to Jamie, melt some ‘After Sevens’ or any off-brand chocolate bars as the pancakes’ syrup. To top it off, sprinkle lots of edible glitters and coloured sprinkles to make the dish truly a Work of Art!
Yorkshire’s Pancakes
Inspired by Calendar Girls (UK) and Calendar Girls The Musical (UK)
For one night only, the ladies of a small local Yorkshire Women’s Institute swap out their traditional WI activity of baking buns and make traditional British pancakes instead. The topping is simple, with lemon wedges and caster sugar. Add a few toasted and salted sunflower seeds on top of the pancakes. Remember to take several photos for a chance to win a spot on the Institute’s fabulous calendar!
