my favourite is sugar and lemon - none of this new age fancy stuff like nutella for me!

Yeh pretty sure its next Tuesday not tomorrow. Besides you can eat pancakes whenever you want OP i'm gonna make a batch tomorrow. All you need is eggs, milk, flour sugar and a wife.


Edit: when i said wife i meant someone to share it with, no sexist comment intended.

Buy an entire cooked chicken from a deli and wrap it in a pancake.
Yummy

I bought Hershey's chocolate syrup, I'm also gonna get icing sugar, nutella and maybe some ice cream and marshmallows

This is my first pancake Tuesday

I hate these thick store bought pancakes. I mean those.

WindSock

Well I don't hate them but I prefer the thin crepe paper like ones. Crepes

Pancake amateur!

Tar.Aldarion

These two replies made me laugh a lot, well played

hondasam

we are on the ball

chucken1

Spuds in pancakes! Covered in spuds..with a batter coating!

hondasam

No pancakes are sweet

Tar.Aldarion

Not even the ones with sugar?

I, for one, say let us hear this potato idea out

hondasam

bake a potato, dice it, fry in a little butter and fill your pancake.

Tar.Aldarion

this idea intrigues me, as do savory pancakes in general. Beans in one would be nice at this hour

hondasam

I like grilled crispy bacon with mine !

No rice or pasta when I'm about, all potato or couscous...or several kinds of different potato

I made buttermilk pancakes Sunday, topped with sliced fresh strawberries sitting in a bed of whipped cream. Yum.

Mrs Fox

I'm going savoury this year -- feta cheese, red pesto, mixed peppers & rocket leaves :rolleyes:

Mr Fox will have the usual sugar and lemon... all 10 of them.

Would you be willing to carry a 'people can eat me' consent card?
/eyes you up.

I am planning on trying a creme egg topping. For savoury ones I make onion bhaji pancakes, liquidise up gram flour with an onion and just fry it up, dip in curry sauces. Just view it like any unsweetened batter, I have stir fried up chicken and then dumped in batter on top, this makes a big chicken pancake which is sort of like chicken balls from a chinese takeaway. I made a tandoori pancake recently which was pretty nice.

Savory pancakes are my thing - there is a great stall at the temple bar market on Saturday, they do sweet and savory - I love feta, olives and tomato pesto.

Pigwidgeon

I think I might attempt to make this this year.

star-pants

Butter sugar & lemon, or lemon & honey for me mmm honey

Faith

I think I'm going to stick with the classic lemon and sugar this year too .

Darkginger

Either the traditional lemon and sugar, or my secret vice (OK, not so secret) - squirty cream and hot chocolate sauce

Toto Wolfcastle

Dark chocolate. Growing up my parents allowed us to have chocolate pancakes for dinner on Pancake Tuesday. I always used to feel sorry for friends of ours who had to have a proper dinner or pancakes with beans on them before they could have the sweet ones.

sakani

I recently started using this Weight watchers recipe to make pancakes and its wonderful!

http://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/food/rcp/index.aspx?recipeid=7026742

Otherwise, i love to top my pancakes with honey, bananna and sprinkle cinnamon.. mmmmh! Hope I can wait till next tuesday :rolleyes:

...Where have you been all it's life?

Michellenman

I've been having Galettes instead of pancakes/crepes recently. Had a really lovely one there recently with tomato pesto, goats cheese, and rocket salad. All added to the galette while it's still on the heat so the pesto and cheese melt together and the salad wilts just nicely... nom nom nom.

Oh my God, that looks AMAZING.

This year I'll probably have my usual lemon and sugar for one - but I'm going to do one with crispy bacon and maple syrup too. Yum.

tfak85

i really love them plain or with a little butter...

i do also like pesto, feta, peppers and rocket though.. or chocolate or marshmallows or marshmallows and cheese! lemon and sugar is good too but i just love the taste of the batter, i have to stop myself eating loads of it before it hits the pan!

we used to have pancakes for dinner about once a month when i was growing up and it was great, whenever we'd have friends round for pancake dinner they just thought it was the best thing ever!

Tar.Aldarion - love the comment about it only being once a year, like there's no other available food that day... well, in this house there's not!

eternal

MMMMM pancakes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pure love to your body
Try melted mars bars for the ultimate indulgance .However if you really want to stuff your face just lemon and sugar so you can eat more

I made a batch last week with stewed apple.

Is Cream plain flour ok to use?

Not sure if it was the flour or a cheap and dodgy weighing scales but the batter was a little more runny than I expected. They tasted ok but not as good as they should have.

Should be OK, some people leave the batter overnight in the fridge so the flour fully absorbs all the moisture.

I like to put some baking soda in the mixture, then put lemon juice in and it reacts giving off carbon dioxide, so you end up with fluffy pancakes, though mine are thick ones.

Did you let the batter sit before you used it?

Yeah, I let it sit for half an hour.
