I'm doing the oaty banana ones for breakfast with blueberies. And we'll have crepe style pancakes for tea. Coconut oil is the business for frying them in.

Oil, oil ! OIL ?

No no no.

Melt butter in pan before frying.

Jesus Christ people.

Here in Germany they cook a wide range of gefuellte flaedle (a filled savoury pancake). I far prefer them to the sickly sweet versions so beloved of the Irish.
I do this nice 'riff' on the pancake for an occasional breakfast treat. I fill the pancakes with a premium Irish black pudding, crispy bacon, wild mushrooms, rocket and a drizzle of a good truffle oil. Magnificent if I do say so myself.

Pancakes and icecream. Kind of like an iceberger but just pancake instead of biscuity thing.

Also, worth trying pancakes and a fry. Get some sausages, rashers, pudding etc and just wrap it all up in the pancake.

A couple of drops of vanilla extract can transform the most mundane of batters.

kylith · 17-02-2015 12:05PM

Mug of flour
Mug of milk
Half a cup of sugar (if making sweet pancakes)
1 egg
Pinch of salt.

Scale up as necessary. Remember: the first pancake is always shte.

You know what we call 'premium Irish black pudding' in Ireland? Black pudding.

A nice twist on the pancakes is the addition of some bell peppers to the pancake mixture, make sure they're blended to a smooth batter.

A Denny's black pudding cannot be compared in any way to a premium pudding like those produced by say, McCarthy's of Kanturk or the Annascaul Black Pudding. That's why I mentioned premium. A premium price for a truly premium product.

I never make them. What a dry ****e I am. Maybe I will today though.

For the nutella lovers, put a few table spoons into a cup or a small pouring jug and soften it up in the microwave for 20 seconds or so then add a splash of milk and whisk together with a fork and throw back in for another 10-15sec

The milk stops the nutella from setting so you get a nutella sauce thatyou can drizzle over your pancakes

Pancakes smothered in honey....

It's almost worth the inevitable trip to the dentist....

I melted butter in the pan then poured it into the Pancake Batter and gave it a stir, the first pancake used up the residual butter and none of the pancakes I cooked after that stuck to the pan thanks to the melted butter in the mix - didn't use oil at all after that.

Throw a handfull of Tayto into the Mix just as you put it in the Pan, savage

NachoBusiness · 17-02-2015 06:08PM

Omit the flour when making the batter and they taste just like little mini omelets.

Don't use low fat milk for anything is my advice. Manky. Might as well use water.

\its great for coffee,though. Less taste of cow=coffee with more flavour!
Also if making cappacino,low fat milk froths better.

sinny65 · 17-02-2015 07:16PM

4oz flour
Pinch of salt

Breakfast pancakes.

Just in case you lost weight overnight.

Always sift your flour,much nicer pancakes and it mixes easier.

I made myself three big pancakes with Nutella and chopped strawberries for breakfast/lunch. Delicious.

I always do a small dud one first to soak up the excess butter. It's the only time I fry anything in butter!

Spanish Eyes · 17-02-2015 09:18PM

A glug of sparkling/soda water adds lightness, wait till you see it when you put it in the batter!

Each to their own.

BTW gorgeous with some vanilla sugar, maple syrup and mashed banana.
