Just smashed out about 24 for the kids and inlaws (they are staying with us at the moment). In true STW style I've bought myself an artisan wrought iron crepe pan, which is awesome.
Batfink Jnr rejected the lemon juice, on account of it being "too spicy" - sadly haven't seen Jif lemon for sale in Australia
Strictly lemon and sugar, need to beat my record of 17.
Come on,. no-one?
Seems to have crept up on me out of nowhere, right off to Tesco.
Anyone remember 'The Pancake Place' ? A food eatery franchise that was popular in the 80's ?
That was the thing when we went into town with Mum. Finish off the day with a small treat for us kids, and no doubt for Mum to get a sit down after rummaging around all day in 'What Every Woman Wants'
Holds a special place in my heart. I kept things simple and you got a little pot of butter and what I felt at the time was a totally inadequate amount of heated maple syrup.
We actually looked into purchasing one of the franchises, but even then it was a serious amount of outlay, and I seem to remember a figure around about 1/4 of a million. Which knocked that firmly on the head.

And to think, I once held you in high regard. What monstrous deviance is this?

crêped.
In any case,
I'm battered up. I'm feeding four adults including one human dustbin, and two or three 2-year olds who from the food they intake on a regular basis I can only assume are either hollow or are carrying a quantum singularity. I did small pizzas last week, I was going to give them a couple of slices each, my other half served up a full one each and they troughed the lot.
My tried-and-tested recipe is equal amounts by volume of eggs, milk and flour, a lug of oil and a generous pinch of salt. I've cracked through a dozen eggs in this batch.
Also,
Why does this bloody thread keep returning to page 3?

to remind us over the years of those STWers who have fallen by the wayside. The pancake register of the fallen.
Lemon and sugar here. Quite full now 🙂
Well my pancake ended up as chapati (roti), LOL!
Not sure I was making pancake or chapati.
There is a restaurant (stretching the definition granted) that makes nothing but pancakes opened recently in Manchester called Fluffy Fluffy . I took my daughter who loves pancakes. There was a queue to get in...A queue! Pancakes!
Truly a time to be alive.
I’m rooting for the Chiefs
Equal volumes of egg, flour and milk.
🤔.... Not got any eggs today.
Done some the other week.
Make pancake, then move to the side of the pan, sprinkle some sugar so that it starts to caramelise and then swirl the pancake in the caramel. Fold pancake and fill with thinly sliced apple and a bit of cinnamon and let the apple heat up a little. Serve.
Yum yum yum.
I had at least ten for breakfast, maple syrup inside and lemon juice over. I’ve since been out and had scones with jam and cream at Scarthin books. Any suggestions for tea to keep my diet balanced?
Shit... nice reminder. Better get battering.
Is there a hole in your pan? And back to page 3.
- egg + cheese
- caramel beurre sale
- lemon
It’s that time again. Lidl have their Sicilian lemons in stock they’re lovely you can feel the lemon oil on your hands, that’s mine sorted.
I'm ready for pancakes.
@dyna-ti you posted a couple of times about the pancake placebover the years.
You know it still exists right? Atleast the one in Dundee does. Gone are the black wheel backs and the dingy interior, and much of the pancake dishes or way way way over the top.
Bacon and maple stack for brinner tonight.
Do have some ham sonmight nip out for some cheese of suitable persuasion
200g flour, 200ml milk, 200ml water, three medium eggs
I've no idea what my recipe is as I've always eyeballed it, but it's not that!
I also add a little virgin olive oil to the mix make cooking easier.
I agree, but butter is better.
Anyone got a savoury pancake suggestion?
Beans and cheese
TBH if you'd put it on toast it works in a pancake IME.
You know it still exists right?
Dundee is a bit far to travel from Glasgow, even for the whiff of nostalgia. But interested to hear that a Dundonian is running one.
He must have stolen it.
There used to be one in st andrews aswell. The ridiculous buy in i think has done for a few. Certainly the standrews dropped the name for a bit but as i recall it returned eventually.
Thats a travesty. You don't leave them uncovered like that they go cold!
Waffle teatowels for the pancake warmingwin.
Stripe of nutella, orange segments along the stripe, then roll up: nom, nom
Mrs Wookie made us some pancakes for lunch.
Ingredients went a bit like this:
bit of flour
some oatily semi skimmed oat milk
little bit of baking soda
some chia seeds
bit of salt
bit of sugar
blend it all up in the whizzer and cook pancakes in the usual way.
if it were me, I'd have measured it all, but she doesn't do that sort of thing and prefers to go by feel.
once cooked, stacked with a combination of plant based Philadelphia, This!isn't bacon, and drizzles of maple syrup. it's very yum. the philli and maple syrup with bacon is really nice, I didn't think it would work until I tried it many years ago at HBW cafe in Stirling.
Her: What are you doing, making them and saving them for later?
Me: No, I'm making them and eating them.
Some very appreciated pancakes in Pitlochry this afternoon, it’s completely passed me by it was today. Jessie’s (formerly Escape Route I think?).
Just made and eaten some Pajeon with cabbage, raw carrot and soy sauce/sesame/garlic/maple syrup dressing and waiting for her to feed me the more traditional ones with chocolate spread/banana/raspberries/blueberries/yoghurt/grated dark chocolate/maple syrup/etc. Not really a lemon and sugar man.
Managed a big batch of them after the gym.
Alternating between caramel spread, Golden Syrup and lemon with sugar.
Had to go to a meeting but knocked some up when I got it, proper recipe, no water or chia seeds.
Went with my traditional cheese+ham for the savoury course, then Nocilla (Spanish version of Nutella) + banana for dessert.
I also had my traditional thought of "why don't I make pancakes more often?", but of course I'll no doubt completely forget about them until this time next year 🙂
Went to a pancake "party" the other day with some ex-pat Russians. They do it rather differently! They have a pancake week and it's mostly savoury pancakes. The hostess made (more like built!) this amazing Liver Pancake Cake. I know, right.. Layers and layers of different fillings and pancakes, including liver, topped with sour cream. Shame, it was such a creation and everyone kinda took the piss, cos well, it was so unusual!
This is the nearest I could find https://eatlikemoldovans.com/recipes/crepe-cake-with-liver-pate/
Ooooh! That looks interesting.
"Interesting" is a good word for it! I didn't mind the liver cake, but I couldn't eat much of it as there was so much food 🙂
