Pancake Day/Fat Tuesday 2020

Maggot

The Cake of Liberty
It's Pancake Day tomorrow. Not sure whether to go for the gram flour ones or traditional. Haven't decided on fillings yet either.

What are you having on yours
 
Oh fuck. I had roast chicken and Yorkshire puds planned for dinner tomorrow. Dont tell my kids. If I'm up early they might get them for breakfast but I'm fucking shattered so maybe not.
 
Was thinking may try making: Minced beef and onion crispy pancakes tomorrow. Am on annual leave so have time to mess about. Properly executed, I feel they may just placate daughter, after recent shenanigans...
 
Pancakes for me are kind of the opposite to stirfries, which I never look forward to until I start eating them then they're the best food of all times.

I hope Mrs SI forgets tbh.
 
I'm unexpectedly going to be home early tomorrow evening so I might surprise the wife with an American apple-pancake* recipe that I got from a Usenet group in the very early days of the internet (i.e. about 26 or 27 years ago when the world was still in black and white)

*it's nothing like an actual pancake but that's what they called. If I can be bothered I'll post recipe/pics tomorrow. If not then just imagine a very buttery, sugary Yorkshire pudding batter poured over apples and bunged in the oven for an hour-ish. Serve with LOTS of cream.

Rather tasty but you can actually ear your arteries hardening as you eat it.
 
Was reminded about this about an hour ago (I'm atheist so don't observe lent, but I do like to eat pancakes).

Tend to have lemon and brown sugar or maybe golden syrup, I haven't tried a savoury filling in years.
 
Pancakes for tea is going to be difficult tomorrow because of the time I'm working til. If I'm feeling heroic I might manage to do them for everyone's breakfast.
 
Oh I forgot. However I might just make my normal oat pancakes which I have all the time for breakfast anyway. Basically just oats whizzed up with some milk/plant milk, pinch of salt, pinch of sugar, bit of baking powder. Makes amazing pancakes of the scotch variety rather than the crepey variety.
 
I'm a long-time fan of Delia's pancake recipe, so I'll be doing those. Probably with lemon and sugar, we do also have a bottle of syrup of some description.
 
Probably just lemon and sugar for me. Daughter has already asked for strawberries and Nutella, but since the kids have chomped their way through a colossal jar of the stuff in less than a week I'm reluctant to buy any more. They may have to content themselves with the usual lake of maple syrup instead.
 
Not going to bother as had them on Sunday.

My nieces had 3 or 4 each with combinations of Nutella, Strawberries, Golden Syrup and Icing Sugar mostly.
I had a couple with Maple Syrup and crispy bacon.
Totally forgot the lemon :facepalm:
