I only just realised that it's Shrove Tuesday!

In case (like me ), your pancakes always taste like omelettes instead of pancakes...

hi there

thanks for the pancakes recepie. my daughter loves them. will sure try out some recepies from here.
cheers

Hi pink pompom go to ALDI store US week an they have pancake mix there

pankake mix? why on earth would you need to buy a mix?
it's just flour, milk and eggs how much easier can it be

If you use buttermilk in your pancake batter, put in half a teaspoon of baking soda (natrium bicarbonate) as well as 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder for every cup of flour.

By the way, one egg for every cup of flour makes pancake that doesn't taste like omelette.

Maybe for lazy crappy cooks like me lol only kidding i love to cook

I add a few drops of vanilla essence and a pinch of cinnamon, which surely eliminate any omelette possibility.

hi

thanks for the tip but i wanted you to ask one thing, if i am using buttermilk than in this case shall i not use normal milk. are the pancakes not a bit sour, just wondering.

cheers

Not at all..! Don't ask me why I have no idea but with buttermilk pancakes tastes much better than with normal milk..!!
(by the way I would never drink buttermilk, hate the taste )

hi

thanks, will sure try it this way.
btw, i love buttermilk, drink it with some spices like salt, mint powder and roasted cummin seeds powdered. drink chilled especially in summer. yum !

cheers

I've tried making pancakes with milk or buttermilk and both together (plus a bit of water if I don't want it too thick). No, not sour. A pinch of salt and a teaspoon or two of sugar is in the batter, of course.

I used Delia's recipe last night, and the pancakes turned out very well, if I do say so myself , tasted almost as good as my Mammy's!

Pancake Tuesday tomorrow, so I thought I'd give this thread a bump.

Delia is a fine recipe to go by - we use it all the time. The only "but" I'd add is that if you are going to make decent-sized pancakes, you need to double to quantities in the mix! Yum yum

Also mix by hand - much easier than you think and less likely to get lumps than with a machine.

I'd switch the measurements for baking soda and baking powder -- only because I don't fancy any obvious taste of baking soda.

Happy Pancake Tuesday, people!

it's a good thing

Is Shrove Tuesday a day for pancakes outside the UK and Ireland?

In the UK I think lemon and sugar are de rigueur.

Here's a simple recipe:

8 heaped tbsp plain flour
2 large eggs
500ml milk
pinch of salt

Mix together and then let it rest for half an hour.

This is Shrove Tuesday, so let's keep it simple and use the traditional British pancake. I love fluffy American pancakes, but I'll save those for a weekend brunch. I also love things like French buckwheat crepes, but again, I'll have those as a light lunch.

The use of a raising agent in a Pancake Day pancake is an abomination.

Increases in scale are a substitute for imagination

Also, get a decent crepes pan. Frying pans have sides which are too high.

The mixture should also be similar to cream in runnyness and not too much spooned into the pan. Pancakes should be really thin.
