Today it is Pancake Day, or better known as Shrove Tuesday in the UK.



Who is having pancakes tonight, how many are you gonna eat and what will you have them with?

Do you toss them in the air, or just flip them over with a spatula?



Oh, and for your information, I am not having any! I cant make them, they stick to the frying pan and make a gunky, sloppy mess, and I spend ages after, scrubbing instead of tossing..

Chocolate chips...

huh? No Pancakes?

yeah too right im having pancakes tonight and yes you have to toss them in the air for it to actually count

you need to get your frying pan really hot then they wont stick RED, just call me jamie oliver

and just lemon and sugar with maybe a lil maple syrup

i love pancakes. i make mine from scratch i flip mine with a spatula because the one, and only, time i flipped it in the air, it stuck to the ceiling. i must have lots of butter and king syrup, the same way i like my billy.

<--- pancake dance!

I love pancakes! I use a spatula and griddle.

I make all kinds of fruit-kissed ones:

• Banana
  
• Apple-Cinnamon
  
• Raspberry
  
• Blueberry
  
• Peach
  

I also use varying types of nutty extracts for flavor.

I just might make some Apple-Cinnamon ones, just cuz!

if u see a bunch of people outside your house tonight with plates and forks...

applekisses said:

They are just variations of the same basic batter.

Johnnycakes are made with cornmeal.

Now that would be a sight to behold, lol.

LaVisHh said:

That sounds pretty good...like cornbread, right?

applekisses said:

Pancakes are made of a basic mixture of flour milk eggs salt, whereas flapjacks are made of oats, sugar, butter and maybe golden syrup, and you can add hash!


Have any of you Americans heard of spotted dick?

Johnny cake - sorry, cant help you there...

REDFEATHERS said:

Only when I was at the clinic...

applekisses said:

It's a bit more... hmmm... denser than pancakes? The cornmeal is pre-cooked in a double-boiler with salted water, then mixed with butter and milk.

cute!

LaVisHh, honey...can you make me a selection of you pancakes, please?

Chocolate-Chip-Lavendar are the BEST. Mmmm. They taste even better if you make funny shappes with the batter. Or hearts if you're feeling romantic.

And where do you live? Can I come over and have some?

applekisses said:

That's how my sister makes hers I'm SO glad she doesn't invite me over for breakfast more often!!

I recently had pancakes w/ bits of mandarin orange in them, they were incredible...

I cant speak for myself as I have just had Mozzarella and Tomato Salad... no pancakes for me!
