Try Lemon Curd, When you get them off the ceiling, wall, floor, away from the dog etc etc. It tastes quite good with all the dog hairs and gritty bits.
Oh, I love pancakes. Flip them properly in your nice non-stick pan. It helps to be really co-ordinated I find, hence so many of mine end up on the floor, dog, fridge, sink, etc Always make far too much mix in readiness!
Top with lemon juice and sugar. Or maple syrup. YUMMY
Every pancake day, we resolve to make pancakes at other times during the year as they're great. Every year, we never quite get round to it and thus it's always a pleasure when this day rolls around again.
For me, simply pancakes, lemon juice and proper brown sugar.
Favourite toppings? How can anyone think of any more than lemon and sugar on the pancake tomorrow?
OK, I admit that in the fine restaurant in Cambridge that specialised in such things (Hobbs Pavilion; does anyone know if it still there, on Parker's Piece?) I much enjoyed dark chocolate with home-made ginger ice cream, but surely Shrove Tuesday tradition dictates the delicious juice of real lemons with sugar just to take off the bitter edge?
Standard Noise,
Sorry, you have been mis-led by a common language problem. An American/Canadian Pancake is 4" in diameter and up to half an inch thick and is eaten at Breakfast. A British pancake is 8 - 12" in diameter, one eighth of an inch thick (or less), crispy at the edges and is eaten more or less straight from the pan at tea time on Shrove Tuesday thereby ruining dinner the same day. The traditional additions are caster sugar and lemon juice sprinkled on the surface before the pancake is rolled up and eaten in the fingers or from a plate with a fork if you are posh.
Cointreau, flamed works well, too.
thanks Skylark4 I forgot that there are those who see the pancake like that but I am sure even the thin Crepe would be tasty with those toppings, my youngest would agree!
Thanks for the flamed had one full of soft fruit and flamed with a cointreau at a friend's house with dusting of icing sugar mmmmmmmmmm
Cinnamon, brown sugar and a squeeze of lemon. A little lemon zest in the batter makes a huge difference as well. Serve two or three still hot and rolled up with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Batter:
Flour, melted butter, eggs, milk, pinch of salt, lemon zest.
Rosalina cooks pancakes for breakfast every Monday, so I had mine yesterday as usual. I usually have them with honey, but you can't beat a topping of Tate & Lyles Golden Syrup in my opinion.
