The term “shaken, not stirred” typically evokes memories of James Bond, MI6’s most famous secret agent, and it’s a reference to his favorite drink. If you’ve always wanted to use these words but aren’t a fan of martinis, this recipe is the perfect opportunity. The result is not an alcoholic drink, but probably the tastiest savory pancake you’ve ever eaten.
