Pancake judgement...who knew?!

[SliceOfCakeCupOfTea]

Work with about 30 people and decided to do something nice and offered to make pancakes for everyone today.

Spoke to boss and authorised some petty cash for ingredients and I brought in various toppings I had at home.

Emailed everyone letting them know and what toppings I'd have and said that if people wanted anything specific or had toppings they wanted to share to bring them in as I only had what I had outlined.

Today, already, I've had 5 different conversations with people either complaining that I don't have their favourite topping, that the toppings I have aren't the right quality (ie own brand golden syrup) etc. One guy is in a strop because I haven't brought in honey, but have golden syrup as an alternative. Apparently shows I have poor taste. Wtf! Why am I bothering??

I find it is the frying pan that makes or breaks pancakes. I have a thick iron one that I use. The pancakes come out really well from it. The regular frying pan doesn't work at all for me. They all burn.

Yes! It has to be able to heat evenly too so can't be dented or too thin

Do you use the same batter for the savory as you do the sweet?

Yes my mum always did!

I wish I could share a video of my pancake disaster last night - my 4 yo flipped it on the floor - it was meant for DH 😂 She just said “oh dear…”

As others have said, I will never be good at making pancakes. It’s really kind of you to share your pancake-making skill with your colleagues, they sound undeserving!

They are rude, ungrateful buggers,

(But at the same time, I have to say you were VVU for not buying proper golden syrup in the classic tin!)

Well I'm sure you won't be doing that next year.

I'm glad I work with colleagues who would never behave like that. If they did not like what was on offer, they'd just decline.
