Am scoffing homemade pancakes with maple syrup right now .. absolutely delicious, though definitely fattening. It's probably not proper maple syrup but it's nice anyway

Beth · #2 02-28-2006, 06:54 PM

Moosie! I want some!

*condescends to hand out pancakes*.

I am chucking a shrove tuesday party on my forum actually (sorry for unwonted advertising but I AM!) http://europeforum.12.forumer.com/vi...?p=27719#27719

You know proper pancakes should never, ever come out of a packet, right?!

Beth · #4 02-28-2006, 06:59 PM

Mine come out of a box most of the time.

Nooooooooooooo! that is very bad

.

Do you have sweet or savoury pancakes? I've never really got what a savoury one is .. well, we have crispy pancakes here filled with mince beef or chicken or cheese or something but I presumed that they just shared the same name. I always have pancakes with something sweet and always made from scratch

I forgot IHOP is making with the free pancakes today. :darn:

I like making blueberry crepes that are filled with a ricotta and sausage stuffing and then eaten with blueberry pancake syrup. But I cannot remember the recipe offhand. I have to call me mum to get it.

Oh free pancakes today? Hummm maybe i'll talk hubby into dinner at IHOP.

I can not make home made pancakes to save my life. Not from a box, or a bag or from scratch. Its the ONLY thing Ive ever found that I can't make.

I con my sister into making huge batches of them and I store them in the freezer.

yumm maple syrup...even better Rogers golden syrup....even better Lemon and sugar

I prefer to squeeze Jif lemon on my pancakes (with lots of sugar, natch)

Only if you gave them up for Lent.

What's up with pancakes on Mardi Gras? I've never heard of that before I moved to the Twin Cities, yet it is obviously a tradition that everyone else is participating in.

alice · #15 03-03-2006, 06:49 PM

pancakes gross me out. i think i ate too many as a young child.
i'm all pancaked out.

livius drusus · #16 03-03-2006, 07:00 PM

Yeah, I'm no pancake fan either, alice. Although I do enjoy a wee silver dollar pancake with apple sauce on top, a stack, or even one normal sized pancake, is totally out of the question for me.

MooseIBe · #17 03-10-2006, 05:52 PM

I think it's a British tradition .. people gave up .. well, just about everything that was any fun for lent, and so the day before lent they'd have a big blow out and make pancakes, batter puddings in which they chucked - well, just about everything that they weren't going to be able to eat for the next 40 days.

It's the same recipe as Yorkshire Pudding, but it's fried in a pan and generally served with sweet stuff.
