Celebrating 10 Years of Where The Pancakes Are

For the past 10 years, we’ve been proud to supply Where The Pancakes Are with the organic, regenerative flours that go into their delicious pancake batter. As they celebrate their 10th birthday, we’re delighted to celebrate alongside them — a decade of great food, shared values and a love of proper ingredients.

At Shipton Mill, we believe that exceptional food starts with exceptional flour. As a British miller, we’re passionate about organic and regenerative farming, carefully milled grains and the people who turn them into something special. Working with independent food businesses such as Where The Pancakes Are is a wonderful example of how good ingredients and a shared commitment to quality can make a real difference.

To mark this special anniversary, we’re sharing an iconic recipe: the Dutch Baby, made with our No. 4 flour. 

Here’s to 10 years of Where The Pancakes Are — and to many more delicious moments together!

Pancakes in London - Where The Pancakes Are

"This recipes makes two Dutch Babies - best to have two oven proof dishes, or one larger one, or cook one after the other.

Dutch Babies are a Californian interpretation of the oven baked pancakes that German (Deutsch) immigrants brought to the US in the 18th century. 

Cooking Time:

Prep: 10 mins

Cooking: 15-20mins

Equipment required:

• Oven @ 425F or 220C
• Oven-proof dish (pref, cast iron) - either 2 x  8 -10” or one large
• Handmixer or Blender
• Frying pan

Ingredients:

• 125g of Shipton Mill No. 4 flour
• 40g of unsalted butter (plus extra for serving)
• 3 eggs
• 240 ml/g of milk

• Pinch of salt

 Topping:

• 2 apples - try mixing varieties. Our preference Bramley & Cox apples
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon of butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of Demerara sugar (or really anything in your cupboard)
• Confessions’ sugar for dusting

Steps:

1.Peel, core and chop the apples - toss with  sugar and cinnamon. Fry in a medium hot pan with a bit of butter till translucent and glazed, make sure it retains the bite

2. Whilst apples cook, put dish in oven and after a few minutes add butter. Give about 3-5 mins till it’s hot, but make sure the butter doesn’t burn

3. Mix all the ingredients to a smooth batter

4. Now be quick: take the dish from the oven, pour in half the batter in each pan, top with 1/3rd of the apple mix - put it back in the oven.

5 Don’t open the oven until after 15-20 minutes, quickly take out the dish, add the remaining apple mixture, top with some blackberries and dust with confectioners sugar.
