Pancakes with crab meat and Madeira sauce recipe

In many places of South Africa, summer is also rainy season, hence pancakes are a popular breakfast food. Even while our pancakes are similar to the original French crêpes, there are wonderful ways to elevate them. For a memorable breakfast, try these pancakes topped with crab meat and Madeira sauce, which combines two delicious European flavours.

Although it isn’t included in the instructions below, we also have a recipe for light and airy pancakes that pairs well with the crab and Madeira sauce filling. While the pancake batter is resting, prepare the crab meat. It just takes a few minutes to cook. The mildness of the creamy sauce pairs well with the shellfish. Pancakes flambéed in brandy will bring the party to a whole new level.

Will you be getting together with friends this weekend for a delicious brunch? Pancakes with crab meat and Madeira sauce are a delicious way to merge the flavours of French and Portuguese cuisines.
