Here we are

I like young McGann he's quite comical

practically no oil - they must have amazing non-stick pans!

Who makes these really? Just a pinterest/instagram fad.

You just end to cram it in your gob quickly Kiwi, claiming it was a rubbish pancake. Oh no! Totally rubbish!
Oink.

Are they ceramic pans?

Selasi seems more fun this week.

books I don't, the better to stave off the starving hordes. I usually get to finish off their rejects, though. hashtag motheroftoddlers

Jackson Pollack :)

They definitely have better pans/equipment than the average household

I'm actually going to try this I think. I have squeezy bottles from my short-lived sauce coulis phase.

I have a queue when I make normal pancakes, I can't keep up with demand! If I did anything this fiddly I'd have lots of complaints. And where would you put your lemon and sugar?

Who makes these really

I sometimes do make patterns on one side of the pancake for DCs but I draw them badly with a spatula.

you can't cook them quickly enough here for the ravening hoardes !

I have a really good nonstick pan, I could do this

ignores lack of arrtistic skills

Didn't the do a layered cake one year, that was essentially about 20 pancake grilled individually?

That was an odd one.

Some of these have turned out better than I thought they would.

You need to look after yourself too, pancake makers!
Like that saying about putting your oxygen mask on first says.

go Benjamina!

All my pancakes are lacy.
They start off as whole ones but by the time I've prised them out of the "non stick" pan they're full of holes

Yay Benjamina.

Her name takes too long to type. I'm making the executive decision to change her name to Bmin.

She did great! I'm hoping that means we might get some arty numbers from Benjamina as the weeks progress

How can you showstopper batter?

Happy with the Bmin shortening!

Thank goodness Kiwi I will follow suit. Bmin's were great.

Have been known to make "boats" (1/2 a pan) for DCs ...
