I have a really good one, but it's at my old house still. I'll see if I can get my sister to email it to me. It's not so much a pancake recipie as a crepe one. Basically involves wrapping banana quarters in a crepe, coating it in brown sugar, frying in butter, then flambe-ing it with Tia Maria. Very good!
=P~ Susan =P~

Thanks lesley! They are more like rosti's. The recipe I am after you make a normal savoury pancake batter and add grated potato & cheese/herbs etc. I could just give it a go myself LOL. I made the german ones last year, and let me tell you they were YUMMO!
*hugs*
Cailin
mmm yummy i love rosti's
anthony and ia re going to the shop when he gets home so might convince him to get some pancake fillings yum

Cailin,
There is a recipie for potato pancakes in the Tupperware stack cooker cookbook that was really good. Unfortunately, my mum has that cookbook, or I would look it up for you. It was mostly grated potato and milk and egg, but not your standard batter recipe. If you know someone with the stack cooker cookbook, the one with three flippable sections, maybe they could tell you.
Lesley - our family is german and we often have german potato cakes for lunches. The biggest hassle is that you need to squeeze out all the potato juice, so it can be a bit messy. They're extremely yummy with butter and raw sugar. =P~
Jessica,
Have you tried using an old tea towel to squeeze the water out? My mum always does that with the grated apples for appeltart. Then you got fresh squeezed apple juice too. Don't know what you'd do with fresh potato juice though! :sick:
My family are dutch, so we had lots of continental food growing up. My dad really liked sauerkraut and Bratwurst. I like sauerkrat, but am not a huge fan of any wurst except Liverwurst. I can't get enough of that. The best sort sold in supermarkets in Don's Latvian sort. I was so upset when I found out I couldn't have any for nine months! :)
Hi Susan - thats how we used to get the potato juice out, with an old teatowel. It's disguisting stuff though, it turns black when it's been exposed to the air!!
Well how did your pancakes go? We had regular pancakes, with lemon & sugar, maple syrup, golden syrup (marc loves this *BLERK*) and paris had nutella & sprinkles ;)
*hugs*
Cailin
Reg pancakes here too.
Andrew got his orange juice and my cream LOL. We nearly didn't have them at all. I needed 2 eggs so andrew brought me half a dozen I took two out turn my back for a split second and Kam dropped the other 4 all over the floor !!!
by the time I made Kameron's he was fast asleep in the chair so I put him to bed, and he slept right thru to this morning lol.
Love :smt049
Sorry this took so long, but here are those recipes for next time you make pancakes!
Banana Crepes Flambe
8 crepes
2 large bananas
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup Tia Maria
Ice cream to serve (or at least cream, you'll need it, they're very rich)
Cut bananas in half crosswise, then in half lengthways. Wrap each crepe around a banana quarter. Heat butter and sugar in a pan; add crepe parcels, seam side down, and heat gently for 2-3 minutes. Warm Tia Maria (we always did it in pan, but must be quick, or there is nothing left to flame), pour over crepes and ignite. After flame dies, serve with ice cream.
How wierd is it that I didn't notice this until today??? I eat pancakes 2-3 times a week right now!! LOL! Its my pregnancy thing... I wake up and MUST HAVE pancakes!!
I use a similar recipe to the regular old fashioned everyday batter pancakes... and I eat them with either lemon & sugar or maple syrup... every time... sometimes if DH is home, I add choc chips to the last few of them so he can have choc chip pancakes... other than that if I can get blueberries they are in there...
WOW Susan that banana crepe recipe looks fantastic!!
Christy

Lesley
I really should have one of these I know, and I'm sure I did, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone please post one for me?
TIA.....
I usually just do a pancake one & make them smaller, I didn't know there was a difference 8-[
Thanks Shannon!
I noramlly cheat and just buy one of those bottles where you just add water, shake and cook :-$
Is that for pikelets or pancakes? Since I didn't have a recipe at the time, I actually looked in the supermarket for a pikelet shakey thingo myself but could only see pancake ones.
Melinda - I dont' think I've ever seen a shake 'n' pour piklet mix myself. I just use the pancake one and make them small!
hi melinda
sorry i also cheat but i buy the ones already made can't remember the brand (same packaging as the crumpets i think) ohh they are so yummy lightly toasted with maple syrup ohh i think i need to look in the cupboard now.
yum
you girls are making me so hungry. I have cravings for picklets now ;-)
Hi all,
In my experience pikelets are smaller than pancakes with sugar in the mixture and a thicker batter.
If you add a little lemon juice or sour milk just before cooking the pikelets will turn out really soft and fluffy, has to do with the bicarb reacting to the acid.
Joy
OK, now get ready for a really silly question.........
What do you put on pikelets?! LOL
It's been such a long time since I've had them and I can only ever remember having butter/marg or some vegemite on them LOL. What else can you put on them??
Jacob seemed to enjoy them the other day....well I guess he did. He pretty much destroyed 2 of them as well as rubbing them over his face and in his hair ROFL!!!
Not healthy at all I know but
Whipped cream & rasp/strawberry jam ...mmmmmm
Might have to convince Dh to make me some.... he makes the best pikelets & pancakes... mmmmm
How long would pikelets keep for? Obviously Jacob isn't going to eat an entire batch (perhaps I might though.....eeeks!). Can they just be stored in an airtight container for a few days perhaps?
Good idea Shannon! Thanks! *throws a freshly baked pikelet to Shannon to munch on*
Yep pikelets freeze really well, I freeze them, mini muffins etc whatever I bake in batches for Paris I try and bake. The other thing is too, if you don't want to use lots of freezer bags just grab some go between and wrap them up that way they don't all stick together and you can pack more into one bag.
You can also add things like mashed banana, apple or even blueberries or sultana's to pikelets if you want to pack in some extra goodness, then you might only need to scrape on a bit of butter or even serve them plain and they'll go down like a treat.
Goodluck!
*hugs*
Cailin
Thanks for that Cai! I just hate to see wastage!!!
I do the same as you and usually bake up something for Jacob once a week and try and do something that can be frozen. So thanks for the tip, I'll definitely freeze them.
LOL Shannon....
I made these for Olivia and my neices yesterday for a treat.........went down a treat............they do contain sugar, but don't taste sweet?

1 small carrot, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon corn
1 tablespoon frozen peas
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup SR flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
1 cup of milk
Method:

~ Sift the flour into a bowl, and make a well in the centre
~ Add the egg and beat gradually

~ Using a little oil for each batch, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan.
~ When bubbles appear, flip each pikelet and cook on the other side
~ Serve warm with butter, or by themselves.
I'll definitely give those a go!!!
They sound scrummy Lucy, I will have to try out your recipe too...
Seems like a novel way to get some veggies into the kiddies too! ;)
These went down a treat!
I saw this in the Coles newsletter and I thought it sounded so deliciously mouthwatering that I had to post it!
