to think people who serve up American pancakes on Pancake day and crepes for breakfast should be shot?

Well am I?

I have to add a disclaimer that one of my parents is American and the other English so the only time I got crepes/thin pancakes was on Shrove Tuesday and American pancakes were a frequent breakfast treat (which I really don't like).

I would be soooo disappointed (and have been in the past) to get them served at the wrong time.

AIBU?

I love all pancakes but Crepes are different to English pancakes. They are not as bubbly and are a bit thinner and crispier.

steppemum. That sounds like pancake heaven.

I made American ones tonight, they were delish

[steppemum]

it was - I had a thin pancake with banana, chocolate sauce and whipped cream, then folded (crepe style) in half and half again.

actually we often have pancakes with odd fillings for saturday lunch. I can whisk up a batter with my eyes closed!!! (dutch husband - pancakes are very dutch)

Erm, aren't you meant to cook pancakes in lard?

[steppemum]

LARD???? Yuck

I use sunflower oil.

Always butter here, wiped over the surface with kitchen roll.

We had buckwheat blinis at the weekend and sort-of crepes last night.

But now you bastards have got me wanting bacon and American-style ones too.
