Pancakes with crab meat and Madeira sauce for a special brunch

In many parts of South Africa, it’s also rainy season during the summer months and during those days, pancakes are on the menu. Even though the classic French crêpes is our style of pancake too, there are great ways to make it fancy. Our pancakes with crab meat and Madeira sauce brings together European flavours that everybody can enjoy, especially for brunch.

Pancakes with crab meat and Madeira sauce tips

We have a fluffy pancake recipe that isn’t in the method below which will go perfectly well with the crab and Madeira sauce filling. Crab meat cooks in a few minutes and is best made while the pancake mixture is resting for a while. The creamy sauce isn’t overpowering which is great with seafood. If you want to kick everything into a new gear, flambé the pancakes with some brandy.
