welsh_gamer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's pancake day today! Anyone having or making some today? What toppings do you like with them? We've purchased a packet from Somerfield, and I've eaten 2 allready. I like Ice Cream on them, but don't have any in the freezer, so it's just been butter today, but there still nice. Here's a recipe to make some, if anyone's hasn't brought some or needs help Pancake Recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendohnut Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Scotch pancakes arent real pancakes, I agree with Cube! (Although they look damn tasty...) Sadly I will no be making pancakes, I have no money to buy ingredients! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eenuh Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I don't really like pancakes I guess (at least I didn't the last time I had some). It's all about crêpes, which I might make myself tomorrow. Maybe. If I feel like going out to buy the ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I don't really like pancakes I guess (at least I didn't the last time I had some). It's all about crêpes, which I might make myself tomorrow. The thing is, what constitutes a 'pancake' varies quite a bit from country to country. For instance a traditional English pancake — the type I'll be having — is very thin and crêpe-like, whereas in America pancakes are quite fat and spongy — in the UK small 'cakes of this type are called Scotch pancakes, because traditionally the Scottish used self-raising flour in their mix. Different countries also have varied traditions when it comes to fillings and when the pancakes are to be eaten. The whole thing is surprisingly complex.

Paj! Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hate those small fat ones, you can feel them like clogging your throat. Crepe-style ones for the win every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Pancakes suck, still got a packet in my freezer from last year that the neighbour gave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yeah, I'm not keen on overly 'American Style' pancakes. I just had about 4 normal ones, was very nice Gotta love those pancakes =P Favourite toppings are good old lemon juice/golden syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I only realised a couple of days ago that it was pancake day. Me ang my girlfriend are going over to one of her friends' houses this evening for a pancake party - great! There's also a trip to Sainsbury's beforehand to get ingredients for the pancakes, as well as any toppings we want. If I'm keeping it simple, golden syrup is best for me, but my girlfriend came back from Japan last year with the idea of doing a pancake with a slice of cheesecake, ice cream and butterscotch sauce. Best. Pancake. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 OMG OMG OMG OMG Came home from my mate's house and was greeted with a big plate of thin, proper, homemade English pancakes with lemon and sugar. MMM. What is everyone's favourite pancake topping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Seems we have just enough ingredients at home to make crêpes tomorrow. Yay. The usual toppings we have are either our typical apple/pear syrup (none of that liquidy stuff) or sugar (white, brown or light brown, my personal favourite). But the best ones are with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce! Too bad I don't have those things here, but oh well, sugar and syrup will do fine. =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
