Pancakes are the EASIEST things to make in the world, I fundamentally don't understand pancake mix when they are so easy!!

I'm just about to bake a cake for the inlaws, pear and summer fruits sponge, hope it turns out nice, my mother gave me the roughest of instructions over the phone about 5 mins ago :pac:

I'm gonna give it a go. Going to walk to the shop because we don't have flour and my brother wants Nutella on his so I have to get a jar of that too. I looked at 2 or 3 sets of instructions and it seems easy enough. I might post a pic later!

1 cup of flour, one cup of milk and an egg. You can't go wrong:)

Yeah mine is an egg per person and enough flour and milk to make it the right consistency, very technical

Jane the first pancake is nearly always a dud for some reason, they always get better after it so don't worry if that one isn't right.

I had just painted nails and did the dishes, so now they're wrecked, poop.

The recipe I got was 100g flour, 1 egg, 300ml milk and a pinch of salt and that makes about 10-12 pancakes. I'm all excited now. Haven't really cooked anything since I did the Junior Cert in 2004. I'm trying to locate my Smart Cooking book because I had little notes from the teacher in it. I'm not great for cooking but following the recipes out of that book was so easy.

1 egg makes 10-12 pancakes? Hmm, that's a lot of pancakes for so little egg.

So I was taking off my jumper yesterday when my ear piercing got caught in it and yanked. Bloody hell, did it hurt. There are two balls on each end - one that comes off and one that doesn't. Couldn't find the ball so presumed it had fallen off - came back to my family home and my mam yanked it out.. turns out the ball had gone into the lobe itself.

Ouch.

Also boney, that must have hurt! :eek:

I just know I've always been told an egg per person, but sure go with that one if you want, pancake recipes don't have to exact so you can add another egg and more flour and milk after a few pancakes have been made if you need more mix.

Just found out a friend of a friend delivered her baby 3 weeks early today and the baby died, so sad. She had the same thing my mother had when she was pregnant with me and I was born two weeks early perfectly healthy, it's such a lottery.

[Deleted User] · 26-02-2012 4:24pm

It did hurt, yup.

Oh I see... I have either 2 or 3 people here. Maybe I'll use 2.

Just a quick update to let ye know BabyTheTerrible is here! We're back home, and while I'm pretty tired and sore etc, I'm very very happy, he's gorgeous! Hopefully sometime in the next year I'll have time to catch up on this thread! :P

Congrats Ivy! So glad he’s here safe and healthy.

Yayy! Only guessed it because it was my own birth weight. Sorry Bluewolf!

I never win anything.
So can my prize be looking after BabyTheTerrible for a day? Guess there’s just the small matter of us living in a different country... :pac:

I had a dream last night that I absentmindedly ate the dogs chocolate drops. Then I stomped around the house cursing myself because I’m off chocolate for Lent!

I think I have a problem!

I like a really light pancake so our recipe is 4 oz flour, one egg with milk and water to make 1/2 pint.

Don't really get any of the "ready made" baking mixes, just seem so expensive and doesn't come close to the really thing.

Really need to sort out my back and neck, haven't been looking after them at all lately and I'm starting to feel it. My neck has gotten much stiffer lately.

I'm too lazy to walk to the shop so I think I might leave the pancakes for another day. Cookies seem to be turning out okay.

Had a lovely day at the beach and walking by the seafront. Feel very refreshed and chilled out now.
And hungry!
