Hungry now!

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!)

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)

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.

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.

Won't be back from London in time for dd's first pancake day (when he can actually eat them anyway) ๐Ÿ™ 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

US style are a regular weekend breakfast staple in our house.

So tonight, I think I'll do savoury crepe style (ham 'n' cheese) followed by american style with maple syrup (me), nutella (Mrs and Miss North).
