Don't Forget the Pancakes!

As most of you know, I am a tosser

[SlugLobber]

Always the weird one, I don't like pancakes, but do like crépes. I think pancakes are too much batter for me.

I don't have a crépe pan, though. Maybe I'll call for one on the way home! Good luck with your tossing, boys and girls!!

[janeyo]

My dad had a go at tossing one once and ended up flinging it over his head and them spinning round and he actually cought. it. We all clapped obviously thinking he'd done it on purpose, mum assures me he hadn't!

I might do a stuffed pancake with mushrooms and herbs with cheese sauce on then follow it with some sweet ones. OH likes lemon and sugar. I like jam or choc spread, or icecream or syrup, or jam and icecream or... you get the picture?!

Oh and home made here too.


Why is it the first panckake out of the pan is rubbish?

I was watching something the other day where they used salt in a dry pan to pull out all the impurities in the pan then gave it a wipe round with some kitchen paper.

Pretty sure it was pancake related.

Think it's to do with getting the pan well & truly covered in oil.(?)I have a cup by the pan...put too much oil in at start & then tip it into the cup to use for subsequent pancakes.

That is for seasoning a cast iron pan.

[shirlthegirl43]

I think the problem with the first pancake is that the pan is not hot enough. I put my pancake pan on to heat before I mix the batter. I never use oil or butter and only have to chuck the first pancake to the dog once in ever 10 lots of pancakes (much to the dog's disappointment)

Oooooh, thanks for the reminder, just texted OH to get some more milk! You just know I'm a Pancake addict don't you lol?! We'll have savoury ones (probably Chilli, as I've just defrosted some) to start, then sweet ones with lemon, sugar and cream after.

Then indigestion

Can't wait...

[jackie j]

this will be the first year i dont have to do pancakes oh will have to do them having an op has its plus points after all lol

[HeyWayne]

It had to be you!!!!

There's a song in there somewhere...

[SarzWix]

The OH is just in the middle of preparing a savoury filling with onion, bacon, chorizo, peppers, cheese and eggs. I'll be opting out of that, and sticking (ha ha ha) to Golden Syrup

[coomber]

I feel sick I've just eaten 3 pancakes with melted chcolate in middle - My daughter made me do it

[janeyo]

Ours were fab - OH made me try adventurous (but lovely) combos, mainly consisting of toffee icecream mixed with nutella. Or peanut butter and icecream. Golden syrup and icecream.

My 4 yr old didn't like them this year and opted for bread and butter when I wouldn't make him anything else. Strange child.

[sharonr]

We will be having ours at about 7.30ish depending on when we are hungry.

[ailsasyl]

we always go to my mum's for pancakes, HB says she makes the best ones, we had sugar and lemon, choco spread and banana and maple syrup, all were yum, had loads, but i was starving after working hard moving gravel and making two beds in the front garden!
