It's Pancake Day

Will have ours on Saturday, but unlike lemon and sugar, and she like ice cream.

Ham with cheddar and creme fraiche sauce for main. Sugar, lemon and golden syrup for dessert.

Sounds a right load of Crepe.

maple syrup

*waves at the idave deciples*

Another vote for simply Lemon & Sugar

Lemon juice and sugar,maple syrup,Lyle's Golden Syrup,muscavado sugar and cinnamon,nutmeg,raspberry or blackcurrant jam or my favourite lemon curd.Nom-nom!!

Mine are made, wrapped and ready for lunchtime: Parma ham, Belgian chocolate flakes, raspberry jam, and of course lemon. Mmmmmm

Alternate between lemon and sugar on one, then maple syrup on the next.

Hungry now!

... and lemon.

We're having savoury ones for dinner, chicken in a mustard sauce wrapped in a pancake and sweet ones for pud, like others lemon (maybe orange) and sugar.

I will be dining on both savoury and sweet tonight, the savoury will be chicken fajita with sour cream and plenty of jalapenos, followed by sweet with maple syrup or lemon and sugar (most likely at least one of each!)

Sliced Mars bar dropped in the pan to melt on top a bit...

Tossers, the lot of you.

Pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast
Wraps for lunch
Bacon pancakes for dinner
Kaiserscharrn (chopped pancakes with jam) for dessert

rennies for supper, and sod that 5:2 fasting nonsense

And it's my birthday 🙂

Will have some for tea if still sober enough....Cant remember the recipe tho, what quantities for 2 people?

MEAL

OF

PANCAKES

Ham and a fried egg is the winner in the savory catergory (egg must be crispy round the edges with a very runny yoke). Chocolate wins the sweet category (as long as you use properly dark chocolate, grated and then scattered over the cooked side of the pankcake to melt while the other side cooks)

Had fluffy us style pancakes with maple syrup and banana for breakfast with the kids

On my own tonight so not ruling out some savoury ones involving pig and cheese

Lemon and sugar for me, but I can be tempted by chocolate spread and freshly grated coconut.
I always fry my pancakes in coconut oil now, try it there is no going back.

Hands up everyone else who immediately thought of Maid Marion And Her Merry Men 😆 Weirdest episodes of Time Team ever.

choclit and banannas

gf likes apples with cinnamom.

i'm hungry.

Lemon and sugar normally, but (as we do fresh pancakes every weekend for the kids) I tried some left over Greek yogurt with honey on a couple of weeks ago.

Lush.

NUTELLA.
End of thread

Won't be back from London in time for dd's first pancake day (when he can actually eat them anyway) 🙁 so, it'll be Pancake Wednesday for us tomorrow. It'll be lemon and sugar for us. Though I might try Nutella and Coconut as mentioned above.

Main course for us tonight will be a pancake with stew served on top 😛

Indigestion?

Mumsnet is that way -----> you big girl's blouse.

Crepes suzette, plenty of Grand Marnier...

Golden Syrup

Lemon and sugar

Nutella and Cointreau

Not having much lunch so I can have more tonight

Lemon & sugar, nutella & banana, maple syrup & squirty cream are all combinations on my list for this evening...

On a side note, has anyone tried the ready made stuff in the plastic bottles you just add water to and shake? Planning to make them properly tonight but an experiment a few days ago was a disaster with the ready made stuff, it never seemed to set in the pan even after 5 minutes (the outside would crisp but was still goo in the middle), I gave up in the end.

Chestnut puree and clotted cream.

Can anyone recommend a good recipe for making fluffy American/Canadian style pancakes? I tried a random one that I found by Google once (can't remember which one though!) and they weren't fluffy enough.

Ta!

As if three ingredients was too much to handle. 😆

I've got a nice dish that uses haddock and prawns rolled up in pancakes, placed in a dish then baked in a cream sauce. It's very nice. But tonight it will be lemon and sugar.

Will have some for tea if still sober enough....Cant remember the recipe tho, what quantities for 2 people?

Makes 5 depending on the size of your ladle/pan.

1 mug flour, 1 mug milk, 2 eggs, 1tsp sugar, 1/2tsp salt.

It's not critical, 1 egg works, so does 4 (but you can taste the egg then), so does 2 cups of milk. Basicly anything with about the right consistency will work. More sugar in sweet ones helps them caremalise a little, no sugar and they look and taste a little anemic.

100g plain flour, 300ml whole milk, one egg, a dash of salt.

Mix the flour and egg along with a little milk to make a really thick paste, then add the rest of the milk. Put too much milk in too soon and you'll get lumpy batter.

Fry in butter.

200g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
300 ml milk

Put a dollop of flour and an egg(s) in a bowl mix it up, add milk gradually until you have a runny emulsion consitency. No need to measure.

US style are a regular weekend breakfast staple in our house.

So tonight, I think I'll do savoury crepe style (ham 'n' cheese) followed by american style with maple syrup (me), nutella (Mrs and Miss North).

Real Maple Syrup and chopped pecans for me and Gogg Minor.

It's that time again.

Its Shrove Tuesday, I believe.

(checks calendar)

Yup.

[b]Shrove[/b] ([i]Definition[/i]):

Flat cake made from eggs, dairy and milled grain on a heated flat plate. From the Anglo Saxon Word, "[i]Shreovin[/i]" (origin unknown).

And it's my daughters birthday too. So breakfast = pancakes, and I'm stuffed already!

I'm glad we call it pancake day - I have a blind spot for the letter "r" and thought for yeaRs I could just go around pushing everyone out of my way for a day.

Might give Emperor Pancakes a shot this year. My dad used to make them from a recipe in an old Mrs Beeton cookbook.

First skin you rabbit then you separate the eggs and whisk the eggwhites then fold them in with the rest of the batter so that you get much thicker, airy pancakes. The as you cook each one you put it in a dish - lemon and sugar it - then add another on top and more sugar and lemon and another layer and keep going until you have something the shape and size of victoria sponge. Then you slice it and eat it like a cake

I asked the wife to get jif lemon in preparation for today, she came home with flash lemon floor cleaner 🙄

Cody +1 followed by Ash Wednesday and time to give something up!!!

But in the meantime, gorge on lemon and sugar. KISS.

PnM 😀

Just had 3 big ones for breakfast 🙂

All filled with Nutella

Oi, thm, bore off will ya you old misery. I'm sure you have a deadline or two to meet.

Pancakes. Pancakes. Pancakes. PAAAANNNNNMCAAAKKKKEEEES!!

Its Shrove Tuesday, I believe.

Yes that's right. That's why I resurrected the annual Pancake thread as it's Pancake day.

Just had 3 big ones for breakfast

Kids had the same but a variety of fillings, I've had to make do with 2 3/4 as ran out of mixture. Mine were lemon and sugar as it's still the best.

I'm not a massive fan of savoury pancakes. Maybe I need to experiment more. For us it'll be lots of sweet pancakes,

Lemon and sugar,
Nutella,
Belgian chocolate sauce,
Golden syrup,
Caramel.

Yummy 🙂

*puts nutella on shopping list*

Bananas & maple syrup as starter.
Lemon & sugar as main course.

The eldest wanted Maple and the youngest golden.

*Feels like a bad parent for giving child shreddies for breakfast.* 🙁

Don't worry someone will be along in a minute to say they don't buy into the marketing hype of Pancake Day and it's all now too Americanised. You'll feel better then.

Mine only had them as I'm at work tonight and the Mrs can't make them.

Shreddies are evil anyway...it's a lose-lose day for me. Better go to work I 'spose.

Made some coconut protein pancakes last night. With strained vanilla yogurt. Sounds healthy but they were awesome!

"Healthy" wasn't the first word that came to mind tbh.

Or me even more so when you consider what's in a pancake they're hardly unhealthy.

Ham n Cheese American style pancakes
Bacon n Egg Pancakes

For Desert...
KinderEgg Pancakes (you only need to use half a KinderEgg, very sickly)
Terry's Orange Pancakes
Nutella
Jam

Appel, spek met stroop

Any day is pannekoeken dag when you're married to a cloggy

What the hell is that harryten?

See, I've always been an eggs, milk, flour type. Is there any benefit to adding a bit of sugar to the batter?

Keep it simple they're meant to be.

Mmmm! Drop Scones.

Lemon and sugar for me.

Which makes me think of another thread that would go well to accompany this debauchery.

I always think of a galette for savoury and save the pancakes (crepes) for sweet.
As I think the kids have wolfed the last of the maple syrup it will be
hobson's choice of lemon and sugar

It's that time again.

Not 🙁 I'm on a diet

All diets can be suspended for Pancake Day. It's in the rules. 🙂

We had ours yesterday as I'm at work today so no idea when I'll get home.

I bought some proper Maple syrup to try, damn that stuff is good.

All diets can be suspended for Pancake Day. It's in the rules.

Indeed - Pancake Day marks the point where, traditionally, people give up diets for lent. Its also the point where all their other new years resolutions laps.
