I'm very tempted to red blob you for that.. I'll go easy on you this time considering your recent achievement here.

DITTO!

Note to self: turn off computer when going into the other room for any length of time...

Well happy tossers' day everyone. It's also Lent tomorrow and Ladies' day today!

Yes I agree, Man make better pan cakes than women ! So in that sense they certainly are a man's domain!

I have already mailed my man, on what he should be cooking tonight

Is this true?? I always had you down as being more British than the British!

However, English pancakes should not be thick ... but, rather, quite thin, golden brown and just going a tiny bit crispy around the edges. Then folded into quarters and served with caster sugar and fresh lemon wedges.

Can we have a poll to this thread on thick versus thin pancakes!! It's so incomplete without those yummy pictures!


OR

SOLD!!!

and with a ton of maple syrup !!!!!!

Sorry but, as yummy as those luscious thick thingies in the bottom picture, oozing with syrup, look ... they are not () what I call real pancakes!

In fact, my mother used to make something like that and I am sure that she called them drop scones.

Aren't those simply blinis? What are you on about, guys?

Ok ok, I think healthier would be replacing maple syrup with hummus. Aaaaahhhh, jayzum. But if it's pancake day, I won't refuse them for dina, yum. Or waffles? Do those count?

No , it's hard to believe you, can you make those real pan cakes that are quite thin, golden brown and just going a tiny bit crispy around the edges. Then folded into quarters and served with caster sugar and fresh lemon wedges. I can come for tasting

he he - yes I can! And you would be very welcome, but you would need a passport at the moment

Passport for crepes? like they ask Betreibung.

Anything for the crepes!

It looks like I could be in for a generous helping of crumpet tonight
.

For me, crepes are very thin English style pancakes. Therefore, English pancakes are slightly thicker. American style pancakes are smaller in diameter and a lot thicker and are similar to Scotch pancakes and drop scones.

An english pancake is at its best served with loads of lemon juice and sugar. I however, cant be arsed to faff around folding into triangles. I roll them up like a sausage shape, cut into and 4 scoff

I have my pancakes with marmite and cheese

I know I'm weird...

See Meisie! See what my parents are doing to me! I am British, but noooooo, they must take that away every.....breathe....breathe....



Yeah I was brought up on ovaltine and milo. Explains the clinical obesity and toothless grin.

This is/was my local pancake place in London and they did awesome cheddar crepes and gallettes!

happy pancake day.
as i type i have my pancake mix on the window sill waiting for when I get back.
easy as:
110g plain flour.
2 eggs
pinch of salt
200ml milk
75ml water

Mix in the order of above, first sieve the flour then add eggs and whisk in slowly the liquids.

I will have some lemon and sugar, then another one with nutella. Then I need some idea's for savoury...
what's your unsual/favourite pancake???

Where is that in London? The guy second left obviously has more than a fondness for them!

A little lemon and a little sugar - simpler is often best.
