Pancakes!

[Lonelymum]

So what are you putting in your pancakes on Tuesday? I tend to just do lemon and sugar or jam in mine but I would like to do some savoury fillings too. I have done a ham and parmesan cheese filling before. Anyone got any other ideas?

Do m and s do ready made?

yes pecka they do

are they delicious

do the family not expect the "flipping" faff on? Could I put one in a pan and flip it for effect?

To say you can't make them is like admitting yu can't boil an egg.

1/2 pint of milk - is that all - that would make enough pancake mix to feed my DH - and the rest of us would go hungry...........

How much/quantities of stuff would you use if you needed to make enough for a MEAL (we have savoury and sweet) in this house - for 4 - including one big eater????

Gwenick, I'd double it for a start, but it only takes a minute to whisk up more batter anyway

Double it I would think. That quantity would make about 8 pancakes I think, would 16 be enough??

Or if you treble it and cook them all, you can do what my mum used to. Cook one side, then cool the pancake pack in a freezer box with sheets of greaseproff paper and freeze cooked pancakes for next time.

Agree with easy. I think the quantities I gave make about 10 - 12 pancakes but bear in mind I use a special omelette pan which is smaller than a standard frying pan.

it only takes a minute if you have a whisk or blender (mine broke last year) I have to to get the big food processor thingy out and plug it in to use the blender on that - and it takes up so much space I have to put it away again before I can cook LOL.

DH would probably want 4 or 5 for 'main course' - then 3 or 4 for 'desert'
I'd want 4 and 3
DS1 probably have 2 and 1
DS2 most likely have 1 and 1

so that would be around 20 (OMG!)

I'd be using an ommelete (damn can't spell it and it's too far up the page to scroll up to see how you spell it LOL) pan too.

I'm the only one in the family that likes pancakes so I am forced to eat them all myself.

But it doesn't take that long to mix with a wooden spoon ffs, what do you think our grandmothers did?

what wooden spoon?????

and this is from someone who cooks from scratch every night LMAO

and Easy - they would have used a hand whisk (one of those funny wooden ones - well at least my grandmother used to) - one of which I also don't own

Gwenick can you go out and buy one of those little hand held blenders, the sort you use to puree baby food (well I used anyway). They only cost about £10 and I use mine all the time, never use my enormous food processor TBH.

Lonely - I did have one last year - but I 'killed' it blending food my DS2

I guess I could see if Morrisons has one - but money is very tight at the moment (no income at the moment) so not sure I could justify it - I'll just make stacks of pancake mix to start with - it's not like the ingredients are expensive so I wouldn't be 'throwing' much money away if I didn't use it all (cheaper than buying a new blender which I'll probably kill again )

this

Only £5!

If you did treble the recipe you could put some filled in the freezer for another meal (4 left over would be enough for you or the two kids )

I just printed off Delia's recipe - mostly for DS1 who is planning to creep in and make some with some friends while I'm out this afternoon, but also for me if I'm honest !

ok question for you: do you have to use eggs...ds comes up in hives round his mouth when has anything with eggs in...will they work without???? any suggestions???

Lonelymum "To say you can't make them is like admitting yu can't boil an egg."

I admit it, I can't boil an egg

Well, if you have a cook to do everything for you, good for you!
