I mentioned last week that I would try and post my recipe for fat pancakes at some point, and the opportunity has presented itself sooner than I expected (largely because we had no eggs last night).

Flourless double dark chocolate walnut cookies
Just a quick note to inform you that these are amazing. Especially when you add walnuts. You know you need to make them right now.

Pancrepes
It occurred to me that I haven’t posted either of my pancake recipes, which is a bit of a travesty since Sunday mornings aren’t the same without them. The name for these comes about because I was raised by Americans, who eat pancakes when they’re fat and crepes when they’re thin, but Steve is Welsh and grew up eating pancakes when they’re thin and nothing when they’re fat because they don’t really exist. We gave up playing lexical one-up and just hybridised the name, so now the thin version are known as pancrepes and the fat version are known as fat pancakes and everyone wins 
. Today’s version is the thin version – fat will get posted somewhere along the way when I remember.
Guinness & walnut cupcakes
You were all expecting green cupcakes, weren’t you? One does have to be a bit of a walking cliche on St Paddy’s. I’ve done Guinness & chocolate cake before, but I’ve never used my own recipe. I also wanted an excuse to try the two-tone icing thing with 1M rose swirls. If it were any other day I’d leave the green out; it ends up looking a bit twee.
Anyway. The Guinness cupcakes are a bit serious – excellent if you’re looking for something a bit dark and grown-up but not OTT bitter.
