Scramble Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was wondering how many of your are joing in on the mass pancake fest? I have officially decided that I'm going to make the pancakes this year, not Dad I even bought a special pancake book. I'm planning on blueberry and cinnamon pancakes And of course - the omlet competition to make the pancake most shaped like a chicken! accidentally though. What are you planning on making? My Dad was actually saying ' I'm not sure I want all the faffing about with the pan and batter, shall we buy some microwave pancakes?' I, of course, shouted him down hehe.

Guest Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm making and eating - remember LAST year I was abstinent (which also meant I gave up nothing for Lent as there was precious little to give up!). I'm a bit scared though - I'll be doing them direct on the Aga hotplate for the first time...... Oh and Im the only eater - James doesn't like them and Mum is doing a month of Lighterlife Light. In Waitrose Saturday they were doing tasters and had a blue cheese and pear combo that was AMAZING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Absolutely hate pancakes with a passion I think it was my dear old nan's fault (bless her), she used to make them and plaster them in lemon juice and currants/sugar - put me off for life! Enjoy yours though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Luuuuuuuuuuuurve pancakes . Far too much for my own good . Looking forward to tomorrow, I like them with golden syrup on or with sugar and lemon. This year they will be made with my girls eggs, so they will be eggstra special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We're having savoury pancakes for dinner tomorrow night. I'm making some panckaes and stuffing them with seafood mix with extra prawns and some spinach either in a cheese sauce or a sauce made from creme fraiche and lemon (havn't decided which yet!). If there is any batter left Simon and Adam may get some lemon and sugar ones afterwards if they've got room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfinches Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've been asked to go into our local cub pack to talk about Shrove Tuesday and then to judge their pancake tossing. I've said I will on the condition that they agreed to do use free range eggs for the batter - Akela agreed Morag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 love them I have them with honey and lemon. Andy has them with sugar and lemon or golden syrup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Think I'm in the minority - I can't stand them! Hope you enjoy yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantambabe Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Kids were trying to work out this evening how many pancakes you could make from 7 eggs (assuming we get the daily 3 tomorrow) - far too complicated for me to work out since they are bantie eggs and not standard size. Think I'll just keep making batter til the eggs run out. lemon/orange juice and sugar favourite topping in our house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 My girls love them although small boy isn't keen, my girls occasionally have one for breakfast before school if I'm not running too late! We will all be having them in the morning, the girls have maple syrup or honey, I like lemon and sugar. Might even have them for pudding too!

Goosey Lucy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We regularly have them, I make a batch then the boys reheat them for breakfast. Although tomorrow I'll make them fresh and smother mine with lemon and a bit of sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I love pancakes, we often have them at weekends for breakfast! So we will definately have them for tea tomorrow, i'm thinking one spinkled with bacon and cheese and then put in the aga to melt the cheese. Then lots with lemon and sugar and i always have the last one with chocolate(mars bars are really yummy!) I got some scotch pancakes today from M&S so little sister can have them for her lunch because she just likes them plain. Mmm i'm really in the mood for pancakes now!!!

bluekarin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I love pancakes with lemon juice and sugar , I just hate standing at the stove cooking the things! The kids love them too, but I am not sure if they will be having any tomorrow and ED and DS have both been throwing up this evening All I need now is YD to be ill as she mentioned she had a headache which the other two said they had first before feeling sick.

..lay a little egg for me Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 DS adores pancakes and has them for breakfast at weekends and all through the holidays. I have got some left-over chilli con carne, so we will have savoury pancakes stuffed with the chilli followed by traditional lemon and sugar, though I also have some blueberries and maple syrup to put on them too.

Redwing Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We have pancakes regularly in our house as we love them and they are a quick pudding Pancake making always makes me think of the forum and I couldn't work out why, time after time I would be thinking of the forum as I got the ingredients and toppings together then it clicked - we use cinnamon on our pancakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have just made my batter using farm eggs as my 2 hens haven't layed an egg for months, just as i was putting the batter in the fridge I heard Belle shouting that she had just layed an egg.............That is so typical....

Old Speckled Hen Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Why is it that us Brits eat pancakes just before Lent whereas so many places around the world party?

Seagazer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 My YS loves pancakes and would have them everyday I think. He has a mixture of lemon and sugar and maple syrup. I saw a receipe for american style pancakes and showed it to him yesterday but he's having none of it. Normal pancakes allowed only apparently. My aunt used to make delicious pancakes with half a banana, clotted cream and maple syrup. Yummy (it was the only decent thing she could cook ).

chickencam Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 My batter is made 450g flour, 2 pints of milk 6 eggs we are a big and greedy family and they will be eaten for tea with loads of different mainly sweet fillings. I will cook most of them but OH and the children will all muck in and toss a few around the kitchen It gets pretty hot over the hob on pancake day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH took me to Nice for our anniversary at this time 2 years ago and there were parades in the streets, and carnivals with people in costumes. We get pancakes .
