Pancake Tuesday

ColaBeDamned

I usually end up stuffing myself with so many that I don't want to know about them for another year.
The only way to eat 'em is with strawberry jam, anything else is just a waste of a pancake! What do Boardsies prefer on theirs?

Dudess

Oh nice one! Pancakes - my fave food ever!

Plain old sugar and lemon for me...

Red_Marauder

scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and lemon juice. accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice, eaten outside.

I can assure you that this nutty lent you folks speak of means nothing to my lot:pac:.

But what? No, pancakes are for pancake Tuesday. Crepes on the other hand can be eaten at fairs, fetes and markets on certain days too. Or Paris maybe.

Ewww !!!!
Golden Syrup Hurrah :D

humberklog

I thought is for when that gamey Magdalene one washed his feet in pancakes. No?

Month of Elul has no pancakes...rubbish month.

Herbal Deity

Well, by "maple syrup" I mean the Lyles' maple flavoured golden syrup, of course

McChubbin

I like my pancakes with any of the following:

Maple syrup and whipped cream
Peaches and whipped cream
Good ol' fashioned sugar and lemon
Bacon and cheese
blueberries, maple syrup and whipped cream
Strawberries and whipped cream
Melted chocolate and marshmellows
Bananas and sugar, lightly roasted under the grill


...Feck, now I want some pancakes!

lizardfudge

You won't feel the benefit of the pancakes if you eat them before St. Pancake's Day...

Of Course


Anyways I dont remember Jesus sporting pankcakes on the cross

If he did I wonder did he have vinegar with his savoury and all.........hmmm

Dempsey

I wouldnt waste a pancake to find out if that is nice or not

It's quite nice, actually. Smokey bacon fried in maple syrup with cheddar cheese. Granted, it tastes more like a burrito/fajita to be honest but still- tasty!

Maple syrup is used to fry :eek:

Does it really go well with the cheese and bacon?
Savoury and sweet

Suppose it depends on how you like yer pancakes.

Cant see it going well with the ones I usually make

Depends on the chesse, really. Red cheddar works best or anything with a smokey flavor such as Emmental or Gouda.

Oh, I cannot wait Nyom nyom nyom...

How do you make pancakes?

Dudess

I hate when places say they're serving pancakes and all that's on offer are those shite ones you can buy in a packet, which taste nothing like pancakes and more like stodgy bread.

Jesus Wept

Agreed, pancakes have to be just out of the frying pan or else they are rubbery mankiness.

This recipe will serve about 3-4 people, averaging 4 pancakes per person)
Get 6 oz of flour, a 2/3 pint of milk and an egg. Mix together until it's a slightly thick paste. Pour into a skillet or pancake pan and heat for a few seconds until it goes light brown and solidifies. Flip it over and brown the other side then lift off with a non-stick spatula.

Alternatively, if you like thick pancakes (the glorious crumpety kind), add a bit more flour to thicken the mix.

I have cooked them plenty of times, and I made the mix before, but that was quite a long time ago :P

They're not that hard to make. Just imagine yorkshire pudding batter without the salt. For extra taste, I like to chuck in about 3 tablespoons of sugar in with the flour and a pinch of cinnamon.

Mmm. Sugar.

*pulls pixie stix out of nose*

edvedfan

butter and sugar, lots of sugar

I'm still young enough to fight diabetes

MaybeLogic

Buckwheat flour mixed with apple juice fried in butter. :P

sorrywhat

My Favourite ones are just suagr and lemon.

Last year I made a complete pig of myself.

I made one and had chocolate, strawberries and cream on it. I could only eat the one its so filling. So this year im gonna stick to sugar and lemon so I can have at least 3 !

emeraldstar

Butter
Sugar & lemon
Nutella
Cheese, ham, fried egg
Chocolate ice cream
Anything in anyway chocolate-related
Mmmm

The Catholic religion seems to be highly focused upon rituals involving the consumption of sweet foods?

So I was just wondering what do the other major religions offer in this regard? I was thinking I might switch to whichever one can provide me with the highest sugar intake.

I dunno about sweets but if you like coffee you should check out Javacrucianism.

You don't find the fact that this one day of consumption should ideally be followed by 6 weeks of fasting a tad unappealing?

ibarelycare

I have simple needs...just butter and sugar for me.

I had 3 for breakfast and am looking forward to more for dinner

Basq

Brought 3 pancakes in to do me til lunch!

(Mother Pride's packed pancakes from Lidl are the dog's balls.. nice and thick and fluffy!)

That's just a thing made up to scare childen , no? Like Michael Jackson or .... the Booger man?

General Zod

Ooh, fried sausage straight out of the pan wrapped in a nice thin pancake.

Then you get on to the sweet fillings.

FunkZ

300 grams of flour, 2 eggs and a pint of milk covered in Nutella! Not even gonna mix it this year.

we'llallhavetea_old
