SHROVE TUESDAY - Nom Nom Nom Pancakes

[nothing2lose]

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

Can I bring hot chocolate instead?

[Party-of-five]

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

[Nai]

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

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 . 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 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.

[phebee]

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

[MrsBexie]

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??

[starangelk]

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

[MrsBexie]

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 )

[Anila]

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!

[PumpkinZulu]

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

DC, we got deluxe fries on the side 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.

[Mrs P]

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
