Are you making pancakes today? What’s your recipe?

If you’re making pancakes today, what recipe and how do you cook them?

Some recipes say cook in butter, others oil.

How do you do yours? 🥞🥞🥞

Vegan pancakes here. One banana, I cup of non dairy milk and 1/2 cup of oats in the blender. We cook the pancakes in George Foreman grill as it's much quicker. Just put some oil on kitchen roll and wipe both plates of the grill with it.

Four ounces flour, one egg, half pint milk, just about enough for two people. I now add a drop of vegetable oil at the whisking stage, which seems to make it smoother. Cover and allow the batter to stand for at least half an hour. To cook, I use my biggest frying pan on the absolute hottest gas ring, knob of real butter, ladle of batter, and a very ancient plastic fish slice to turn them over. I cried when my old plastic slice broke, nothing else was as good for the job. And then about a year later I cried with joy when I found a similar one in a charity shop!

To serve, lemon and canderel spoonful for DP (T2 diabetes), butter and maple syrup or lemon and real sugar for me. Sultanas and brandy and bananas and clotted cream have also been used, mmm....

I make large thick American style pancakes using a Jamie Oliver recipe. One cup flour, one cup of milk and one egg, whisk it all together and you are good to go. I make them as big as the pan and serve them with natural yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, chopped banana and some honey and they are delicious.

I’m going to try make some later for the first time later, going to use my usual Mary berry pudding mix for batter.

I’ve never had sweet ones before, when I was a kid my grandma used to make them with ash and gravy but everyone looks at me like I’m crazy when I say that

Yum I love American pancakes too! We have pancakes year round, ‘pancake day’ for us must include crepes 😄

Side note, I got a waffle iron for my bday (one that goes on the hob), could I use an American pancake recipe for that?

I make American style waffles or pancakes using the Rombaeur recipe (from The Joy of Cooking). Let the mixture sit for half an hour, covered, before using - they are lighter that way. Heat up a small piece of butter in a pancake pan in a medium heat and drop a small ladleful in, it shouldn't be hissy hot. Then when bubbles start to appear on the surface, flip over. We like ours with maple syrup and blueberries but one of our sons prefers honey and natural yoghurt.

We're having the crepe style, with either lemon and sugar or Nutella and banana.

DS has decreed we have American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup on the weekend as he's just discovered the delights of bacon and maple syrup (having previously thought i was mad for eating the two together) and wants to stuff his face.

I am slightly regretting introducing him to this. I'm not sure I can afford the syrup....

And thanks for the heads up! I had completely missed that it was Shrove Tuesday! In which case we'll have pancakes for lunch but with maple bacon and scrambled eggs. Maybe a sweet one afterwards.

It's ds birthday so i did pancakes with syrup.50g flour 1 egg and 50ml milk did 4 medium thin pancakes 🥞

@Kidssendingmenuts same !!

Although I detest the term 'drop scones' and would never call them that (and I'm Scottish), this is the recipe I used (minus the orange zest):

Well I am in my own little world and it is still Monday to me!!! So glad it is actually Tuesday![/quote]
🤣🤣🤣 brilliant. Made me feel better about this week and knowing what's going on!

I use the 3 2 1 recipe and GF flour as I'm wheat intolerant.

Going to try butter as suggested.

Ds likes lemon and sugar and chocolate sauce and I like syrup.

I also like fruit and cream and will see what ds wants later and we can walk to shop for any extras.

We use Hazelnut milk as we have a dairy allergy.
They taste very nice

I only have self-raising. I'm having a personal debate whether I should go to the shop for plain flour.

I usually make American-style but I want crepe style today. Usual recipe is
1 cup flour
I cup milk
1 egg
I tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
1 tbsp sugar
Dash of vanilla

I use the Jamie Oliver recipe: one cup of milk, one cup of self-raising flour and one egg. Multiple as many times as you need. I prefer to fry in oil as it's just easier than butter.

Basic batter mix - 4oz flour, one egg and half a pint of milk

Veg oil in a non-stick pan

Does 4 people approximately 2 each

H insists on squeezed lemon and white sugar; I like golden syrup or lemon and muscovado; sons have golden syrup (and sugar in S2's case) and like to experiment with banana and chocolate spread.

Think you'll be safe enough with SR. the worst that will happen would be slightly lighter crepes...

We're doing savoury and sweet this year - chorizo, feta and spring onion for our main then I'll have lemon and sugar for dessert, DH will have chocolate spread

Pancake recipe is flour, egg and milk intoa jug and mix. Keep adding flour and milk until it looks right...

American style pancakes here, thick and fluffy with streaky bacon and maple syrup is our dinner tonight 🥞

@Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep
Thanks!

Pancakes are only good IMO if they’re warm and I’m out at dinner time tonight. So I’ve made some very simple biscuits (flour, sugar, egg, sounds familiar?) and decorated them in a messy Carnevale style with Smarties, sugar balls and cherries.

That’s my contribution, some of which are coming out with me.

We also have Chiacchiere which are fried rich pastry. Again, very like pancake batter.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their pancakes! 🥞🍳

I did American style (hate the crepe style ones) earlier for a late lunch. I use organic plain flour, organic full fat milk, free range eggs and baking powder as a basic batter. Feels a bit healthier using organic flour .

We had orange and blueberry ones (orange zest and chopped blueberries added to batter) with sliced strawberries and golden syrup on top.

Choc chip and banana (chop chips added to batter) sliced banana and golden syrup on top.

Then some orange and lemon ones sprinkled with sugar (orange and lemon zest added to batter, juice squeezed over the top).

Still feel stuffed now. Can’t even think about dinner.

I work to a ratio of 1 x egg(s), 1 x flour and 2 x milk, plus a pinch of salt. I add a little bit of olive oil or some melted, but not hot, butter. Fry in a small amount of butter.

This recipe makes thin pancakes.

DH had his today with orange honey and have a big thumbs up of approval.

I like mine with raspberry jam or lemon and sugar, or maybe some ice cream and Nutella/chocolate every once in a while.
