Darran Lingley slaves away over the big pancake
Is this the biggest pancake in Essex?
Darran Lingley, owner of The Five Bells pub in Colne Engaine, decided to celebrate Shrove Tuesday with a challenge.
He used a 4ft wide paella pan, 30 eggs, 2.5 litres milk and two litres of flour to make the two pancakes.
He had to mix the batter in a bucket.
The Co-operative Union Ltd in Manchester made the world's largest pancake - measuring 15.01m (49ft 3in) in diameter and 2.5cm deep - in Rochdale on August 13, 1994.
