Cosmopolitan Blood Loss

WARNING: This blog contains blood and Vincent Gallo. If you dislike either then look away now.

Are you scared??????

OK, so when I say "blood" I mean black pudding. 
Now I love the stuff but understand that for some mild palliated pussies it's a wee bit too scary.

"Ooooooooh, I couldn't eat that. It's got blood in it. 
But you can eat meat? Yeah?" 

Black pudding is awesome. It's so rich, savoury and tasty, tasty delicious. Get over it!

So for the black pudding lovers out there, I salute you. 
And today's blog is for a great breakfast/ brunch recipe for black pudding and apple pancakes. 

Here's a wee video to get you in the blood loss mood. 
I will have to admit though..... Vincent Gallo does scare me. 
His gaze, his angry stare. I don't like it.
If I saw him in the street I would run away. Run as fast as my little short Glaswegian legs could carry me.
Hey, Even Glassjaw are scared of Vincent Gallo.







Haw Daryl. Pull yer pants up!

Black Pudding and Apple Pancakes

the best puddin in the world.

My picture isn't too good  but trust me. The pancakes are. And yes, I did eat all of this.

4 slices of really good quality black pudding. Stornoway black pudding is by far the best in my opinion. It's so good it has been given protected status. 
 1 apple, Granny smith is nice and tart
135g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Half teaspoon salt
130ml whole milk
1 large egg beaten
2 tablespoons melted butter
Extra butter or oil for frying

Maple syrup, fried egg, bacon etc for serving. 
I had egg and chips with it. That's me. 

Cook your black pudding slices under a medium grill for a few minutes each side until cooked through and slightly crispy. 
Leave to cool.

Sieve your flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
Add your egg and mix till combined. 

Add the milk and melted butter and whisk till smooth.

Crumble in your cooked black pudding the use a grater to grate in your apple. Don't worry about peeling it.
Mix till combined.

Heat a frying pan on medium high heat and add a little butter or oil. Spoon in  4 separate small mounds of pancake mix and cook each pancake for about 2 to 4 minutes each side until golden brown. 
Repeat with the rest of the batter until it's all used up.

You can keep the first pancakes warm in a low oven until you have finished the mix.

Serve with maple syrup, poached or fried egg, chips, bacon, avocado, toothpaste or generally anything you like having with your pancakes.

Mon the black puddin!
