I love a crispy pancake, or as a mate of mine used to call them Cripsy pancakes, making them hardcore LA gangsta.

LA gangs. Bloods and the Crips

 

[kittyP]

A sorry. I saw it as Crispy not Cripsy

 

[pogofish]

In fact WAS it cheese and ham, or was it JUST CHEESE?

I don't remember it being that cheesy - Chicken and mushroom were my favourites too!

Hi Badgers

Unfortunately we only took the Findus business over in 2009 so we are not sure, I do seem to remember from my younger years that Findus use to do Cheese and Ham but please do not quote me on that.

Sorry I can not be of further assistance.

Yours sincerely

There was definitely a cheese & ham variation. Altho 'gallon of cheese sauce and 3 teeny square of ham' would be more accurate.

Just read that email again:

I've never had crispy pancakes. Are they like battered and deep-fried?

Oven:
1. Preheat the oven to 220 c, Gas Mark 7.
2. Place the pancakes on a bakling tray in the centre of the oven.
3. Cook for 15-18 minutes until crispy.
4. Leave to stand for 1 minute before serving.

Grill:
1. Preheat the grill to a moderate heat.
2. Place the pancakes on a baking tray under the grill.
3. Cook for 17-20 minutes until crispy.
4. Leave to stand for 1 minute before serving.

 

[TitanSound]

Except the one minute to stand is bollocks. Give them at least 5 minutes to cool down to a normal temp

 

[TruXta]

So the idea is that you use pre-cooked pancakes then?

No, you buy them in a box with filling and already coated. You just have to cook them

 

[strung out]

they're not really pancakes at all tbf

e2a: although they self identify as pancakes, so that's good enough for me

 

[xes]

I used to love them as a kid, but then they changed the recipie of the "pancake" and they were rank from then on in. I'd have 4 when I got home from school, done in 3 minutes in the microwave. *remenisis*

 

[TruXta]

Pancakes inna box? Count me the fuck out. First fried egg with brown sauce and now fucking pancakes inna box? What the hell happened to you guys?

 

[kittyP]

Ew did they not go all soggy in the microwave?

It's guilty pleasure food.
No one is claiming that it's cordon f'in blue

if tyou did them a little longer than needed, they went slightly chewy round the edges

Nor was I! I love pancakes, but I make them fresh, I don't get them out of a bleeding box.

The attention to detail is telling

On which note I am off to hunt some down.
If Asda or Iceland deliver the goods then I think it will be my first FCP for 20-25 years

As someone said, it may say 'pancake' on the box but it is nothing like a pancake.
More like a pasty to be fair.
