Pancakes

[veggiechicken]

Didn't you put gravy in your coffee the other night? Just checking
Oh bum, all this talk of pancakes - now I have to go and make them again and I still don't have any fresh flour or milk.

[julesapple]

No...I've put milk in his Bovril before now though.....

Have just returned from the canteen with 2 treacle covered pancakes. When I was at the till, the woman said what have you got on it, I said Treacle, she said "I prefer mine with gravy".............

That's Yorkshire pudding then, flat style. Do they still serve them before the dinner?

[VirginVegGrower]

I've had 3 for breakfast, with orange, rhubarb and ginger jam

I think I'd like that recipe Bren

Profound thoughts on pancakes

1. It takes the same amount of time to eat a pancake as it takes to cook the next one.
2. You can make a pancake form out of date flour, milk powder, egg, butter and lemoncurd and they still taste good.
3. The last pancake always looks and cooks the best.
4. Life's too short to flip a pancake and clear up afterwards.
5. I've eaten 5 and I still have room for more.

1. I've just had another two, despite saying I was full, so echo point 5.
2. I make mine with a cup of eggs, a cup of plain flour, a cup of milk/water mix and a pinch of salt. These were not out of date, but then there are four of us here so can concur with point 2.
3. I like the look of all pancakes I cook - I just do.
4. I have to clean up as I have OCD - see other thread - the world needs more tossers - I toss.
5. I agree with point 1 - cook one, scoff one, cook one, scoff one.

We do tag team pancake making.

We tend to do some savory an some sweet. Have cheese, chorizo, chestnuts and will be frying up some mushrooms and leeks but we also have lemon juice, jam, chocolate spread, apples and ice cream. Having said that will probably leave it till tomorrow as am going to be rushed to do that before I go out later unless

Is that orange on one, rhubarb on the second etc........... Like traffic light pancakes

Its Flums recipe and after making the jelly I added ginger to the remaining pulp.

Vegetable Heaven: Jam session

I often cook rhubarb in orange juice with ginger - doesn't need sugar that way Its a nice combination of flavours so I'm sure that jam is delicious.

[Nicos]

My favourite topping is the traditional lemon and sugar.
I usually however do a stuffed pancake to have first to make it into a full supper.

You mean you've never tried them with gravy BM? - you don't know what you missing!!!

However today I just had golden syrup on mine (but I have to say I prefer stew!)

[rustylady]

I don't like pancakes. Too many years of cooking them for the kids and eating the leftovers cold.
