Pancake Day 2017 - 28 February

[Maggot]

I thought I had missed Pancake Day, a colleague told me it had already been and gone. So I was pleasantly surprised to find he had got it wrong and it's next Tuesday.

I am thinking of doing savoury stuffed pancakes with cheese sauce, followed by some sweet ones.

How are you having yours?

 

[moonsi til]

I normally don't bother but fancy doling it next week. First comes to mind is spinach & ricotta?

I'll be spitting in the face of Lent with some vegan ones, as usual. Lemon and sugar, flambéed in rum.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Nutella....and vanilla ice cream...

 

[Maggot]

It's tomorrow!

 

[bimble]

i'm all set. Bought today: posh mascarpone and berries.

 

[souljacker]

I've got Nutella, strawberries, lemon, sugar and maple syrup. I'm on a diet but the kids will be all over it.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

None. Pancakes are horrible. You should all have some cream cakes instead, as they're much nicer.

 

[danny la rouge]

I won't be having pancakes tomorrow: it's Shrove Tuesday.

I'm going to watch Tranmere get battered, which sort of counts.

 

[Saffy]

Savoury ones with minced beef and then baked with a cheese sauce on top.

Then sweet with lemon and sugar, Nutella and banana and maple syrup.

It's one of my favourite days of the year.

Firstly pancake day is a load of bollocks. You can have pancakes any day of the year. The posh stuff everyone is talking about here is not for pancake day. Pancake day is for lemon juice and soft brown sugar only.

I have no plans to fast on Wednesday, nor give up anything for lent, so not making a special day of fattening up on delicious stodge and sugar tomorrow.

As usual, I shall use the occassion to look down on those who cannot mix eggs, flour and milk in a bowl with the aid of a fork

Will you be shrivening or shrivened?

 

[polly]

I don't like pancakes but will be making them with butter, icing sugar and lemon for my husband and Nutella, honey and lemon and sugar for my kids (yeah, probably all at once).

 

[danny la rouge]

Will you be shrivening or shrivened?

I'll be having crumpets. Also known as crepes.

Scotch pancakes you mean?

These are crumpets...

 

[Maggot]

It's ok, he does this every year. It's a Scottish thing.

 

[bimble]

Oh, you mean those horrible thick American versions of the pancake.

No, pancakes.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Ah! I see what you're trying to do now.

Those are English crumpets. Different thing.

 

[bimble]

I'm making blintzes anyway.

How do you do them?

 

[Cheesypoof]

I think you can enjoy them any time (same as champagne) and don't need a 'reason' to celebrate. But just for the hell of it too, why not?

I wouldnt really eat pancakes for anything other than breakfast, but if I had to choose, it would be stack of sweet ones with lemon, butter and maple syrup, lemon and ricotta (probably with butter, lemon curd, lemon zest and ricotta, perhaps some sprigs of mint too), and savoury with butter, ham and cheese. I make pancakes occasionally and yes, they are ace. Best place for pancakes and crepes in Dublin is a new spot called Lemon.
