It’s Pancake Day

So time for the annual how do you have yours?

Strictly Lemon and Sugar for me.

Will have ours on Saturday, but unlike lemon and sugar, and she like ice cream.

Ham with cheddar and creme fraiche sauce for main. Sugar, lemon and golden syrup for dessert.

Sounds a right load of Crepe.

maple syrup

*waves at the idave deciples*

Another vote for simply Lemon & Sugar

Lemon juice and sugar,maple syrup,Lyle’s Golden Syrup,muscavado sugar and cinnamon,nutmeg,raspberry or blackcurrant jam or my favourite lemon curd.Nom-nom!!

Mine are made, wrapped and ready for lunchtime: Parma ham, Belgian chocolate flakes, raspberry jam, and of course lemon. Mmmmmm

Alternate between lemon and sugar on one, then maple syrup on the next.

Hungry now!

… and lemon.

We’re having savoury ones for dinner, chicken in a mustard sauce wrapped in a pancake and sweet ones for pud, like others lemon (maybe orange) and sugar.

I will be dining on both savoury and sweet tonight, the savoury will be chicken fajita with sour cream and plenty of jalapenos, followed by sweet with maple syrup or lemon and sugar (most likely at least one of each!)

Sliced Mars bar dropped in the pan to melt on top a bit…

Tossers, the lot of you.

Pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast
Wraps for lunch
Bacon pancakes for dinner
Kaiserscharrn (chopped pancakes with jam) for dessert

rennies for supper, and sod that 5:2 fasting nonsense

kaiserschmarrn[/url] mmmmmmmmm

And it’s my birthday 🙂

Will have some for tea if still sober enough….Cant remember the recipe tho, what quantities for 2 people?

MEAL

OF

PANCAKES

Ham and a fried egg is the winner in the savory catergory (egg must be crispy round the edges with a very runny yoke). Chocolate wins the sweet category (as long as you use properly dark chocolate, grated and then scattered over the cooked side of the pankcake to melt while the other side cooks)

Had fluffy us style pancakes with maple syrup and banana for breakfast with the kids

On my own tonight so not ruling out some savoury ones involving pig and cheese

Lemon and sugar for me, but I can be tempted by chocolate spread and freshly grated coconut.
I always fry my pancakes in coconut oil now, try it there is no going back.

Hands up everyone else who immediately thought of Maid Marion And Her Merry Men 😆 Weirdest episodes of Time Team ever.

choclit and banannas

gf likes apples with cinnamom.

i’m hungry.

Lemon and sugar normally, but (as we do fresh pancakes every weekend for the kids) I tried some left over Greek yogurt with honey on a couple of weeks ago.

Lush.

NUTELLA.
End of thread

Won’t be back from London in time for dd’s first pancake day (when he can actually eat them anyway) 🙁 so, it’ll be Pancake Wednesday for us tomorrow. It’ll be lemon and sugar for us. Though I might try Nutella and Coconut as mentioned above.

Main course for us tonight will be a pancake with stew served on top 😛

Indigestion?

Mumsnet is that way —–> you big girl’s blouse.

Crepes suzette, plenty of Grand Marnier…

Golden Syrup

Lemon and sugar

Nutella and Cointreau

Not having much lunch so I can have more tonight

Lemon & sugar, nutella & banana, maple syrup & squirty cream are all combinations on my list for this evening…

On a side note, has anyone tried the ready made stuff in the plastic bottles you just add water to and shake? Planning to make them properly tonight but an experiment a few days ago was a disaster with the ready made stuff, it never seemed to set in the pan even after 5 minutes (the outside would crisp but was still goo in the middle), I gave up in the end.

Chestnut puree and clotted cream.

Can anyone recommend a good recipe for making fluffy American/Canadian style pancakes? I tried a random one that I found by Google once (can’t remember which one though!) and they weren’t fluffy enough.

Ta!

As if three ingredients was too much to handle. 😆

I’ve got a nice dish that uses haddock and prawns rolled up in pancakes, placed in a dish then baked in a cream sauce. It’s very nice. But tonight it will be lemon and sugar.

Makes 5 depending on the size of your ladle/pan.

1 mug flour, 1 mug milk, 2 eggs, 1tsp sugar, 1/2tsp salt.

It’s not critical, 1 egg works, so does 4 (but you can taste the egg then), so does 2 cups of milk. Basicly anything with about the right consistency will work. More sugar in sweet ones helps them caremalise a little, no sugar and they look and taste a little anemic.

100g plain flour, 300ml whole milk, one egg, a dash of salt.

Mix the flour and egg along with a little milk to make a really thick paste, then add the rest of the milk. Put too much milk in too soon and you’ll get lumpy batter.

Fry in butter.

200g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
300 ml milk

Put a dollop of flour and an egg(s) in a bowl mix it up, add milk gradually until you have a runny emulsion consitency. No need to measure.
