SHROVE TUESDAY - Nom Nom Nom Pancakes

Today is SHROVE TUESDAY or PANCAKE DAY and i totally forgot til DP mentioned it, i was kicking myself for not buying a pancake mix but realised it doesn't matter as DD2 can't have them anyway.

So this morning i figured what the hell i used to make pancakes ALL THE TIME so why not today.

1 cup self raising flower
1 cup milk (in my case SOY for DD2)
1 egg

I also had some apple & blackberry mix (with vanilla, nutmeg & cinnamon) left from last nights dessert (picked from our very own trees) so i added that in.

Served them up with some leftover fruit mix, a bit of blackcurrant jam and a tiny tiny bit of cream... :shhh:

So are you having pancakes today and if so what are you having with them?

My faves are normally
* Strawberries & Cream
* Lemon & Sugar
* Apple & Cinnamon
* Banana

Mmmm hit me with them and do you use another recipe to make your pancakes?

Ohhhhh thanks for the reminder! We love them here! I never use mix and the recipe I use is rough as, basically S/R flour - maybe 1 cup or so depending how many I want to make, 1 egg, a wee bit of castor sugar and then milk til the consistency is right!! I just add ingredients til it looks right! Mmmmm!!! I love raspberry jam on mine, maple syrup or plain old lemon and sugar!!

Enjoy!!

Ooo I'd forgotten too!
Tanstar that's how I make my pancakes hehe :)
If we're being really naughty we have bananas, maple syrup, ice-cream & cinnamon sugar on our pancakes!

i just chexcked my fridge to make pancakes and i dont have any eggs :(

anyone have a pancake recipe thats eggless?;)

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm Shrove Tuesday - my favourite day on the Christian calendar (food wise!)

Enjoy girls :) --- I know I will be!!!

How funny we didn't even remember here but I woke up with a craving for pancakes!

Thanks zf or your reminder on fb :). Ds and I had banana and dark chocolate pancakes. I had maple syrup and he had them plain :) so good

I told DH this morning that the milk runs out today (actually, I was cross at him coz he opened the new milk instead of using the milk that ends today). Then I said, don't worry, I'll make pikelets.

Are pikelets ok for shrove tuesday?

Pikelets are just mini pancakes in my opinion :p

This is probably going to make me sound like I live under a rock but what is shrove Tuesday :redface:

Traditionally it was the day before Lent:

The day before the beginning of Lent, when pancakes are traditionally eaten, originally to use up milk and eggs that would otherwise spoil because of not being eaten during Lent

Just Me....

It's the last day before Lent when, due to the 40 days of fasting (until Easter Sunday), the early Christians would use up their flour to make unleven bread. Basically so it didnt go to waste.

Nowadays we do pancakes. A lot of Catholics and Orthodox Christians still practice fasting over Lent so for them it is more symbolic than for the rest of us (I guess).

Hope this helps!

I didn't remember either but funnily enough Nate asked for 'canpapes' out of the blue this morning so I made extra and will send with Darcy for morning tea.

I usually use the same recipe as you ZF with a tablespoon of oil for better consistency and some vanilla, but someone recommended the Pancake Parlour Buttermilk Pancake Mix to me and man it's far better than mine!
Ingredient list is fairly good too.

Yay - thanks for the reminder.

I do savour ones for dinner, i make a white sauce, blend (read hide) some veggies and add it to the sauce and then add tuna and cheese.
Thin layer between two pancakes or rolled into a pancake

then if we are still hungry, we have sweet ones for dessert

Yum - off to the shops shortly to get the bits

I've made pancakes using a normal pancake recipe but with that egg replacement powder instead of the eggs, turned out great. Go heavy on the egg replacement, though.

DS and I are having ricotta pancakes (so nice and fluffy!) with banana and date butter for lunch...yum!!

What time do you want me there allycat??? :lol:

Bring coffee n2l! ;)

Hahahaha! Have you read my thread about the Great Coffee Debate??? :lol:

Can I bring hot chocolate instead?

lemon and sugar YUM its one of those foods that reminds me of being a kid :D

Mmmm lemon and sugar for me, icecream and (real) maple syrup for DP and the kids.

We do SR flour, milk, egg and sugar for our batter too - we use a tupperware shakermaker to mix it and then cook them on the foccoccia press so minimal mess and washing up :D

LOL, I didn't know it was shrove Tuesday either, but I just made some banana pancakes for morningt tea! Yummmeeee!!!!!!!!!

Hello ladies,

I'm hoping one of you here can help me with my pancake disaster. I haven't really made pancakes before, but tried today. I used 1 cup plain flour, 1 cup SR flour, pinch salt, 2 eggs, 2 cups milk & 60g melted butter.

I've cooked nearly all of them, and every one turns out the same...ever so slightly crispy on the outside - they kind of feel like softish cardboard :redface:. I guess they taste like a pancake, tho not as nice as one should.

I used half SR half plain flour because I read somewhere this gives less fluffy pancakes (I don't like them too fluffy). The recipe I used said once I see bubbles come through the pancake, its ready to be flipped over. But I didn't get any bubbles...even the top went crispy before I flipped it over.

What am I doing wrong??

I'm not sure hun i just use SR flour, egg & milk, no butter.
I use a tiny bit of butter in the pan but thats it, have it on a medium/lo heat when bubbles start coming through FLIP...
No idea why you didn't get bubbles ???

im a pancake fail too.
the only time i can make decent pancakes is in my mums old cast iron type fry pan.

screw teflon :lol: i need to get me one of those.
and they are always delicious when i make them at her house.

i use plain flour because i like thin, crepe-type, rollable pancakes.
we normally have them with a range of the above but my fave is berries and ice-cream. nom nom.

tonight i am making just single buttermilk pancakes (shake, lazy today) with grilled fish, lemon butter and deluxe fries on the side (par-boiled & fried spud with spring onion, bacon, sour cream) - it is my fave savoury meal from pancake parlour.
& for dessert if i can be bothered i might do some in the poffertje pan with jam and cream.,

I have never even heard of it and I am a pastors kid! LOL...

Any excuse to have pancakes! I love lemon and sugar on it or bananas cooked in brown syrup! MMM....

pancakes for dinner tonight.

Mmm just the perfect thing for my after-work snack! Maybe some savoury ones for dinner too! Thanks!

I think you should have stuck with SR flour if you wanted thick pancakes. We make pancakes using a pikelet recipe, so it's quite thick, we use SR flour PLUS extra baking soda, so SR flour by itself is probably ok for not-too-fluffy pancakes. Perhaps you need to experiment with the temperature? The other thing we do is pop them on a plate with a tea towel over them before serving as this keeps them sort of soft instead of drying out while the others are cooking. HTH

What savoury ones can be done?? I remember when I was younger some kind of mincey thing going on them, possibly with a mexican kind of taste??

I made seafood pancakes for dinner tonight - cream, onion, cheese, mushrooms and seafood. Soooo not healthy but sooo yum.

I ended up having an omlette for dinner but pancakes for dessert!

I made them with GF SR flour and soy milk and they were awesome!! Even DH loved them!
On mine I had banana (which I put on before I flipped it so the nana got all warmed n yummy) then broke up some dairy free choc, caramel topping and soy ice cream... holy crap it was amazing!!! Pretty much like I was eating the real thing! (I am on no wheat or dairy cause my DD can't handle it in my milk :( )

I had pancakes for desert, but i cheated and used packet mix, only cause i did so much baking all weekend for my sons party, dripping with maple syrup! mmm
but if i make from scratch, its pretty much the same as everyone else, 1 cup flour, 1 egg, 1 cup milk, 1 tbs sugar.
I have a pancake factory, u know the brevelle one, makes nice big fluffy perfectly brown pancakes!

We went to dinner at Pancake Parlour...omg sooo good!

DC, we got deluxe fries on the side :D Delicious! We both had the Canadian thingo; two (delicious) pancakes with a massive dollop of butter, two fried eggs, a stack of bacon and maple syrup over the lot. Om nom nom.

OMG PZ - sounds like a delicious heart attack on a plate lol!

I made pancakes for dessert after seeing this thread today - and we had strawberries and REAL maple syrup from Canada yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum :)
