Pancake Day 2019

[Maggot]

It's today.

I've recently discovered pancake made with gram flour, they are easy to make and vegan. So will be having those, haven't decided on toppings yet.

Rachel Roddy recipe

For pancakes, whisk 250g chickpea flour, 450ml cold water and a big pinch of salt into a batter with the consistency of smooth single cream. It then needs to sit for at least two and up to 24 hours, in which time it will bubble and thicken a little. When it is time to fry, heat a generous tablespoon of olive oil in a small, nonstick frying pan and add a ladleful of batter, then swish it round as you would a pancake, aiming for something about 5mm thick. Once the edges are crisp, lift to check the underside. When it is deep golden, flip and cook the other side, then slide on to a plate.

I used a bit less water and it was fine.

What are you having?

Since I have a bag of gram flour, I think I will be having what you're having

I have so far failed to make buckwheat crepes very appetising - and there is another Breton speciality I need to master. :-

Far breton (végétalien, vegan)

Spoiler: video

Just need to order my bombarde and master basic traditional dance steps and a few words of Breton and I'll be a shoe-in

I have bought a new frying pan ... It has a llama on it

I’m going to make the kids pancake pizzas for tea with pancakes and fruit and ice cream for pudding.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Old school (ish) here.

Pancakes for pudding with jam, honey, chocolate sauce, possibly banana.

Tell me about pancake pizzas.

I'm using soya milk this year. Mine is slightly sweetened so I have high hopes. On the other hand I am really shit at making pancakes so it's in the lap of the gods

Pics!!

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm stuffed from lunch, but will make the girl pancakes for her tea.

Salami/cheese first, then whatever she wants after that - Nutella, maple syrup, honey...

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Had a couple with maple syrup and a couple with castor sugar and lemon..

I make pancakes virtually every day at work and have switched to vegan ones about 6 months ago. I find gram flour a bit too wholesome tbh (unless I'm doing something like Indian carrot pancakes, where it works). You can make vegan ones easily by just using self raising flour, a bit of extra baking powder, some salt, veg/sunflower oil and soya milk. The trick is to add the liquid to the flour slowly and give it a good beating for a minute or two when it becomes a wet dough, then slowly mix in the remainder of the liquid

I made pancakes, put some tomato puree, cheese and pepperoni on and shoved it under the grill.

It was ‘really yummy’ apparently.

It wouldn't be a traditional Pancake Day thread without danny la rouge popping up and telling us that what we're making aren't really pancakes.

What you’re making aren’t really pancakes.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Still hungry.
May have to make more batter.

 

[neonwilderness]

I need to come up with a savoury filling from what I have in the fridge. Probably some variation of ham/cheese/spinach. Honey and lemon for dessert.

Not enough love on this thread for granulated sugar and lemon juice

I love lemon and sugar.
Followed in second place by maple syrup.

They went to shit. I binned them.

I like maple syrup too but it has NO PLACE on Pancake Day pancakes.

Actually I bend my pancake fascism slightly and we also have butter inside, which my husband claims is Norwegian (unclear whether he just says this because he knows I can't argue with appeals to his heritage).

They aren't that difficult. Try another recipe?

Well...I really like maple syrup on pancakes and today is THE day for pancakes. Lots and lots of them.
If I could, I think I would just drink the maple syrup on its own but there are pancakes to drown

Yes! I love the crunch.

It's more sweeps of the sugar canister I count rather than spoonfuls.

<3 It's all about the crunch, yeah

I'm pretty generous with it too

I have 30 years of experience of cooking. Pancakes, I'm afraid, I have a blind spot with, largely cos I never follow a recipe. Also I'm pissed off at having to take my son out in the floods to his gymnastics class later so I think I'll call it a night. I don't even like them!

 

[chainsawjob]

Salami has just been tried on your suggestion Usually just cheese, and then sugar/lemon juice or golden syrup for afters for the kids. We have crepes with spinach and cheese, then sugar and lemon juice.

 

[Looby]

We bought some as neither of us can reliably make them and have none of the ingredients. Savoury first, we had mushroom, chorizo and mozzarella.

I’ve remembered how sickly I find pancakes.

Mr Looby is ready for the sweet ones, I am not.

 

[Glitter]

Maple syrup is the BEST thing on a pancake day pancake polly.

 

[NoXion]

I'm currently having some home-made mature cheddar & lardon pancakes with mature cheddar and ham pancakes to follow. The first ever savoury pancakes that I've made myself.

The cheddar and lardons taste good but are a bit of a faff to eat since the filling hasn't melted properly. Hopefully the ham and cheese pancakes will be more coherent.
