Pancakes!!

Hi,

I have been wanting pancakes for a while now. So I am after everyones pancake recipes!

I've got one off my mum but she hasnt given me exact measurements cause she does it by memory. But this is what I got my her..

1/2L Milk
5 Eggs
1 tblsp Sugar
Flour

By looking at that the pancakes might be very bland (but might be what I need ATM!)

So anyone got any recipes??
Thanks Guys!

5 eggs! WOW! I am gonna try those.

i will see if I can hunt down my Grandma's pancake recipe, or Kerry if u are on you might know it.

Mine vary depending on what is in the cupboard, but I used to make them every Sunday for the family.

2 cups self-raising flour (I use 1 cup wholemeal self raising & 1 cup normal self-raising)
2 eggs
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream or cream.... something creamy & preferably sour tasting...
2 cups milk

I mix it all up & if its too thick I put splashes of water in until its all good.

YUM!!!

Mine is different again!
1 cup plain flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
pinch of salt

I often add frozen berries or mashed banana to the mix....

DH makes the pancakes in our house and he used Delia's recipe he tells me everytime he makes them he taught her everything she knows LOL
Shame he can't cook anything else.

This is my foolproof waffle/pancake recipe :)

1 Cup SR Flour
2TBS Sugar
1 TBS Oil
1 Egg
3/4 Milk
1 Tsp Vanilla

Mix together... Now I think this makes about 4 waffles/Pancakes... So you may want to double even triple it depending on how hungry you are...

Marc makes the most DIVINE blueberry pancakes...

Another thing I love with pancakes is to make Maple butter, or honeycomb butter :) By blitzing butter with maple syrup or honeycomb, rolling into a log and wrapping in gladwrap... back in the fridge till its firm then cutting off discs of butter when needed :D

OK well share everything here with us... Things I think would be too hard you just pop them out like I do a bag of cadbury's chocolate!! (LOL)

I cheat with EVERYTHING :) Cooking can be made easy you just need the tricks ;)

*hugs*
Cailin

OK write all the tricks down send them to me!!! hee hee

My Dh can teach you some Indo cooking in exchange!!! LOL.

Veronica, you should try my 'singing pancakes' recipe! Basically you make the plain pancakes (as below) then add a punnet of blueberries to the mix (they're in season RIGHT NOW). They are called singing pancakes cos you have to wait and listen until you can hear the blueberries "singing" before you turn them over (that way they are all hot and jammy on the inside)!!

If you make your pancakes with plain flour, they will be thick and heavy instead of light and fluffy. My DH makes killer pancakes, he uses a recipe out of Maureen Simpson's book. They give a nice thick fluffy American style pancake:

1 cup SR flour
pinch of salt
1/4 teasp. bicarb
2 tblsp sugar
1 teasp. vinegar/lemon juice
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 teasp. vanilla essence.
1 Tblsp melted butter/oil

Basically, you sift all the dry ingredients in together, then you beat the egg in a small jug, add the milk, vanilla, oil and vinegar, then beat the liquids into the dry ingredients. If you leave it for 5-10 minutes while the pan is heating you will see that the vinegar starts to react to the bicard (bubbles form) which is why they are so light and yummy.
:-)

Oooh Marydean, that sounds yummy and light with the bicarb/vinegar mix.

I have to say we did Cai's recipe over Christmas for both waffles and pancakes, and it was brill!

Well I've got to say, it's Sunday morning tomorrow, DH is on leave - looks like we'll be having pancakes for brekky! :D

I could spoil my family too. It's not a usual brekkie around here, but a good Sunday morning feed before DH's back to work on Monday.

I'm getting DH to make pancakes nex weekend or on Monday as i won't get to have breakfast on the Tuesday morning.

We just devoured Pancakes with Caramalised Banana and it was gooooooood!

And Seth likes pancakes too LOL!

*hugs*

Gee my family are boring! I suggested pancakes this morning and neither DH nor DD were very interested. Their loss! They ended up with cornflakes and toast - boring.

Cai, I'm coming to your place for brekkie and leaving my crew at home. Oh Blake like pancakes too. I might bring him. :wink:

Rachel, my DH likes to cook em all up on his bbq!! *sigh* It's a man thing, I've found him to be a most ardent pancake cooker since he started doing it this way.

We had blueberry pancakes with fresh bananas and lashings of maple syrup today - YUM!

Oh you girls are the best! My Dh is away tonight, so guess what I'm now having for dinner......pancakes! I think I might have them with caramelised banana, yum, and ice cream. What a healthy meal!

It's funny you know, I've been on the lookout for a new recipe as I haven't been very happy with mine. I can't decide between using Christy's or Cai's! I might have to halve Christy's though, it sounds like it makes alot LOL! I would love to say that I have a great pg appetite, but it's so much less than before I was pg :(

hmmmmmm, this makes the dessert of icecream and strawberries i just had seem soooooo boring. dh does all the cooking when it comes to dessert - ight have to have pancakes tomorrow night - definitely sounds very very appealling

Thank you Christy! I have made your pancakes twice and they are fabbo! So nice and fluffy, and dead easy. DH thought they were yummy too. Haven't made yours yet Cai, but I will get around to it.....there's only so many pancakes a girl can eat LOL!

oh great!! I'm glad you liked them... hey girls, Pancake Tuesday is coming soon in March! YAY!

I just went & got some Buckwheat pancake mix for our new diet that we are on for Jovie.... will see how we go.

Mine is simple and makes the big fat american pancakes..mmmm:

Make night before and leave mix in fridge if you can:

2cups SF Flour
2Cups Milk
2 Eggs
1Tablespoon baking power
Sugar if you wish ..I normally add a few tablespoons.

I try and make them every couple of Sundays and they are a big favourite at our place ..mmm

My mum's recipe, she uses soda water! Im not kidding, they come out like big thin crepes....

1 cup milk
1 cup soda water
flour - enough to make a smooth batter.
pinch salt.

You can also 'fill' them. Mum does something with ricotta cheese and thickened cream. Not quite sure of the exact filling recipe.
