Are you a tosser, and end up with white sticky stuff on the ceiling?

Just to remind everyone, today is Pancake day (Shrove Tuesday)

How many will you be eating? I will eat as many as i can until i pop!

I just had two big thick ones for breakfast, covered in sugar and lemon juice.

Women and pancakes go hand in hand
as today is also the International Women's day.

Happy Women's day to All of us there

And happy pan cakes too!

For me it is Flip-Flop day Still , they taste scrummy my regardless.

Is there any other food that we put lemon juice and sugar on together ?

Lemon drizzle cake.

Just a question on this: when I was a kid, pancakes (and Shrove Tuesday) meant crepes. The small, fat ones were Scotch Pancakes. Is this normal or a product of my disgustingly South African heritage?

You are correct. Proper pancakes are very thin, made by rolling the batter around the frying pan. Those little fat things are Scotch pancakes.

I just enjoyed Hoosier pancakes, which are as wide as a proper pancake and as thick as a Scotch pancake. Just like most Hoosiers aren't.

So basically a kilo of cooked batter with butter on top?

I can reset the health-ometer by adding organic maple syrup right?

You could, if you wanted to go entirely colonial.

A proper Englishman, however, should add nothing more than lemon juice and a little sugar, regardless of the provenance of the pancake.

Some things are simply not negotiable.

Gloden syrup wrks so much better than the mapel variety

Has the sun passed the yardarm already?

Lemons are from the colonies. Nowt but dripping for me.

Happy Women's day (what the heck?!)- but in my corner of the world pancakes are a man's domain. And they most certainly do not resemble crepes in any way, with all due respect to those delicious flour based delights. Pancakes are thick and fluffy. Saying they should be thin is like saying nori rolls should be made with tortillas. So sayeth the Yank, and pancake cooking/eating champion, Mud.

I guess I know who's making dinner tonight .

I had pancakes for breakfast (English "crepe style" ones), but I swissified them by having them with:

The Mediterranean colonies are almost home, so they don't count.

Now banned in the Mud household. Somehow I can restrain myself with Nutella but that stuff is like meth and crack and spreadable joy in a convenient non-breakable container .

The easiest is the Lemon juice.. just add water to lemon and sugar

Else you can try one of these!

IMHO, it's either a thick (English) pancake, or a thin (French) crepe (slightly different recipe. And of course there are also US style hotcakes (again, different batter).

Whatever, all three get made in my household, Belgian style waffles too

Just sugar most of the time, sometimes whipped cream, chocolate powder or maple syrup. Although I recently discovered Ovalmaltine crunchy cream, so must try that

Btw, wasn't the French 'Chandler' (not the same as Shrove Tuesday or is it??) last week?

Well I know now what I'm having for dinner, homemade buttermilk pancakes covered in maple sirup..!

(American style of course)
