Pancakes

Had to look Invershin up on the map. 'Tis in a lovely part of the country I have only been that far north (and a bit further) when we went to Orkney.

I'll have to make crepes for the boys and low carb pancakes for us - although I might/will cave in to crepes as they are one of my favourite things.

Just wondered, what is the difference between pancakes and crepes? I always thought that it was just the French word for the same thing but something somebody was saying earlier made me wonder.

Kitty, look at it on street view in Google earth. My grandfather's wooden cottage is still there, on the road to Bonar. It's changed from when I knew it, but the people who bought it at least didn't knock it down, like the one next door. My Granda would be pleased.

Alison - just the thickness of the batter and finished pancake. An American pancake or even a Scotch pancake is about 1cm thick, crepes are very thin - thinner the better.

So they are the same as what we'd call pancakes in the UK. The US ones are horrible by comparison.

Just back from a committee meeting in the local hotel and the owner made us pancakes - because the restaurant staff were busy! With maple syrup, slices of lemon and sugar - and all on the house too

I love small thick scotch pancakes at tea time, with butter and jam. For Pancake Day it has to be crepes, thin enough to roll up with lemon & sugar.

Had mine with walnuts coated in sesame seeds and creme fraiche. Yum!

I do a savoury filled with mince, rice and peas, with a good slosh of Worcestershire sauce,

I think we would call that a mince wrap these days PB...............

I like a thick open pancake with grated cheese, toasted cashews, slices of ginger in syrup with maple syrup on top - for the meat eaters swap the cashews for crispy bacon.
Oh No - I feel another pancake urge coming on

There's been some good recipes on here so it looks like I'll be trying something different to my usual orange,rhubarb and ginger next time make them.
