A basic recipe for pancakes (Walla! Food system)

Fans of the British royal family who have always wanted to taste what it's like to feel like a king - can now get a taste.

They tracked down Queen Elizabeth II's secret pancake recipe and shared it online so we could all get a taste.

The royal recipe published on Reddit was originally written by Queen Elizabeth II in a letter she sent to US President Dwight D.

Eisenhower in 1960, after the President and his wife, Mamie, met with the Queen at Balmoral Castle.

The Queen met Eisenhower for the first time in 1957 at a White House event when she was 31 and only three years later offered her secret recipe to the president.

Well, she was busy, you can understand.

Queen Elizabeth died on September 8 at Balmoral Castle at the age of 96. Her death prompted fans of the royal family to search for the same old letter and spread it online.

The letter to Eisenhower read: "Seeing a picture of you in today's paper standing calmly in front of a barbecue grill reminded me that I never sent you the recipe for the pancakes I promised you at Balmoral. Now I'm in a hurry to do so and I hope you like them."

Why is it called a pancake? The rest of the population calls it a Scotch pancake or flat scones, but we won't be catty with it and we're sure you'll love it too - so here it is for you.

This is how to make the royal pancake:

Ingredients:

4 cups of flour

4 tablespoons of fine sugar

2 cups of milk

2 whole eggs

2 teaspoons of baking soda

3 teaspoons of cream of tartar

2 tablespoons of melted butter

Preparation:

1. Beat eggs, sugar and about half of the milk.

2. Add flour and mix well.

3. Add the rest of the milk as needed - also the soda for drinking and the cream of tartar.

4. Put in the melted butter.

5. Massage the mixture well and place soft lumps of it on the pan.

Here is the full recipe:

At the end of her letter, the Queen stated that her recipe is for 16 people.

She added: "When there are fewer people, I usually put less flour and milk, but use the other ingredients in the same amount. I also tried using sugar syrup instead of just sugar - and that can turn out very well too."

Although the Queen offers here a recipe that is less suitable for our dietary menu, the former royal chef said that the Queen adheres to a strict and disciplined diet.

Chef Darren McGrady told the Telegraph in 2017: "She eats to live, unlike Prince Philip who loves to eat and would stand and talk about food all day. She's very disciplined. No starch is the rule."

The former royal chef even revealed what the Queen would eat for breakfast.

He said she often ate Special K cereal with fruit and explained: "The Queen loved scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and grated truffle mushroom. But she was too frugal to order truffle mushrooms and only really enjoyed them at Christmas when they were sent as a gift."

Once every few days the Queen ate a boiled egg, marmalade toast and a cup of Darjeeling tea.

Surprisingly, the Queen always ate breakfast alone around 9am, as Prince Philip often preferred to eat about 30 minutes earlier.

Lunch was served at 1pm and consisted of grilled fish with spinach.

She would end the afternoon with tea cakes, pancakes or sandwiches. McGrady said that the Queen's favorite cakes were a sponge cake with honey and cream, ginger, fruit and of course the chocolate biscuit cake that Prince William served at his wedding reception. As far as sandwiches are concerned, the Queen She preferred a cucumber sandwich, smoked salmon, mayonnaise salad, ham sausage and mustard - without the hardiness of the bread. She also liked a sandwich with raspberry jam and would sip Earl Gray tea with it.

For dinner she often had salmon from Balmoral and for dessert she especially liked fresh fruit such as peaches The bricks grown in the greenhouses at Windsor Castle She loved the peaches so much she even had them sent to her when she was at Balmoral.

Sound like a satisfying menu?

So that's it, McGrady says that the Queen would not usually finish off the plate.

"Maybe she would eat one or two tiny sandwiches and sometimes a scone - which she would usually just crumble on the carpet for the dogs to eat."

When she didn't finish her plate, the queen wouldn't throw away the leftovers.

According to McGrady she was very thrifty and hated wasting food.

The chef said that he had witnessed situations where she would send back to the kitchen the lemon garnish on the dish that was served to her so that he could use it again.
