Tossers... are you ready?

Its the basic pancake mix for me:

100g flour
2 x eggs
300 ml of milk
tiny dash of oil


Give it a mix.
Let it rest because I like them thin.
First one in the bin, and then crack on.

Traditional Lemon & Sugar, maybe a drizzle of booze and ignite.

What's your favourite?

I'm going with rum & raisin; the raisins have been soaking since last night.

ETA - what a pillock! I just went to the kitchen to sample one and they're in whisky - I'd grabbed a left over miniature that someone gave me for Christmas, poured it into a ramekin and chucked in some raisins without checking...

Doh!!!

I was trousers down, warming my hand...

Ready in the fridge



Oh and



Is always the answer...

I do pancakes every Saturday morning for the kids.

1) just after pouring in the pan, sprinkle powered hot chocolate into the pan and hey presto - chocolate pancake one by one.

2) no peeking. It lifts when it's ready. Peeking = falls apart

3) expensive or new pan equals nice pancakes. Cheapo or old pan equals crumbly piles of pancake mix

4) marshmallows folded in 20 secs before the end. Yum.

5) Maple syrup, the Canadians were right.

Room temp eggs, milk and flour equals nice easy non stick pancake. Chilled not good.

Fun

We went for almond flour and almond milk ones today (on Keto). The type that rise a little. They were nicer than I anticipated. Savoury with cheese and ham/bacon/chorizo

I went for the leicester pancake

porkpie, Stilton, onion chutney and a sprinkle of walkers crisps

@ The Doc, Tried the chocolate addition. Worked a treat.

I'm impressed by the savoury pancake above, it's good to be inventive!

I went down the cut a banana in half, blow torch some brown sugar and then set fire to it method. Delicious.

Sounds like a rather rich batter - I've used the Good House Keeping one (from the My First Cook Book) for decades now (held pancake parties at mine for close to 20 years up to lock down). I use:
100g flour
Roughly half a pint of milk (poured in gradually till I get the consistency I want) (284ml, so about the same as you)
however ...
1 egg.

My trick is to melt butter for the crepe pan (noticed this year you seem to be able to get them everywhere, I picked mine up in France back in about 1998 when they were rocking horse poo over here.) and then to add and mix in some sesame oil - adds a nice hint of nuttiness.

I'll try reducing my egg ratio next time. Thanks for the tip.

I diced and fried some bacon, set aside, then chopped an onion and fried it. I then put a bit of each in the pan and spread it around, cook for about a minute then add the pancake mix. When you flip it sprinkle some grated strong cheddar on the top and let it melt.

[The_Doc]

That's a floury omelette

[dickymint]

My attempts with a brand new pan which before I spent a couple of hours seasoning it with "Crisbee Rub" wasn't fit to fry an egg on let alone a Crepe......



Even the first one was good!!
