Sun 9th It is Pancake Day on Tuesday. FROM plain and simple lemon and sugar to a full English, anything goes when it comes to pancakes. They’re versatile, comforting, quick to rustle up and, so long as they’re not smothered in chocolate, reasonably healthy. A basic pancake recipe, from Mary Berry’s Complete Cook Book, requires 250g plain flour, 3 eggs, lightly beaten, 250ml milk, 250ml water, 75ml sunflower oil, plus extra for frying and a 20-23cm frying pan. Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Add the eggs and a little of the milk and gradually blend in the flour. Whisk together the remaining milk, water and oil and sift into the flour mixture. Stand for 30 minutes. Heat the frying pan. Brush with a little oil and pour in batter. Roll around the pan until it covers well. Cook for one minute and flip to cook the second side until golden. Joke of the week Mary offered to care for the eight-year-old daughter of neighbours who were going away for the weekend. On the Saturday morning, she made breakfast, laying a generous helping of bacon and eggs in front of the child. "Mummy always serves hot pancakes for breakfast," said the eight-year-old.  So Mary, very eager to oblige, hurried into the kitchen and quickly prepared a plate of hot pancakes, which she laid in front of the girl. "No, thank you," she said.  "But I thought you said your mother always has hot pancakes for breakfast!" said Mary in surprise.  "She does," said the child. "But I don't eat them!"  Quiz of the week The 2014 Winter Paralympics starts this week.  You will be able to see all the action on channel 4. This week's question - Which winter sport did local hero Richard Whitehead once play?
