Pancake Day

[Jody]

This thread has got in a jam .

Definitely made a ash of the date.

Mine are quite thin and delicate, almost like a small Crepe and certainly not tasteless with Sugar and Lemon Juice

But they all have that spongy texture (Ethiopian bread is similarly bleurgh)

clearly @vickster is a flipping hopeless pancake maker....

Careful now... you're on thin ice

But you are also correct

I made these yesterday instead, as I wasn't in the mood for pancakes...

They're called "favorki" - and a Polish tradition for this time of year. Basically, a pastry made with flour, eggs, cream and brandy, cut into strips and then deep fried.

I included a pancake related pun so hoping to get away with it as humour, but you never know.....

Injera is rather nice with spicy stew and other accompaniments.

^^^ forgive me, im sure you enjoy them but to me they look like they have already been eaten .....at least once^^^

Pancakes two ways in ours yesterday. The kids prefer so-called 'American' pancakes, which is my department so I whipped up a batch for them. Wife and I like a crêpe which is her speciality so she ran a few off for us. An embarrassment of toppings was made available for use on/in both types:

• caramel sauce
• banana
• strawberries
• raspberries
• blueberries
• hazelnut chocolate spread
• Biscoff spread
• golden syrup
• maple syrup
• lemon juice
• granulated sugar

I think over the course of the feast every item was used at least once, either alone or in combination. Bread and water now until Easter.

Not mine, they're too thin to have 'bubbles' in them like American/Canadian or Scotch Panckes.

It’s not the bubbles, I like American and Scotch ones. It’s the texture of crepe like/pancake day pancakes, just something I really don’t like!

On a diet ,cake of any kind is banned

We had ours today - I had cheese with caramelised onion chutney and it was excellent.

I realise it may look odd to someone used to McDonald's and KFC but give it a try if you get a chance, you never know you might like it.

If your pancakes are bland and tasteless, you need to learn to cook properly
