Shrove Tuesday 🥞🥞🥞

[Aladdin]

Mid day pancakes worked out really well. Had them with lemon and sugar. Made 10.
Ate 2.

So easy to make. I think I'll make some for breakfast on the weekend too.

 

[Numbers]

Getting excite here now, we're going to have ours after Tipping Point and The Chase and before Married at First Sight Australia, a 90 minute window for pancake stuffage.

 

[Aladdin]

Well, don't come here moaning about being unable to eat anything for three weeks when the inevitable happens.

Just wanted you to know ...
Not a mouth in the house was burned by the delicious Crispy pancakes filled with mozzarella and ham.

 

[Badgers]

So Findus Crispy Pancakes still exist?

You need to update the thread with the name change.

Hopefully they won't be tempted to do a fish version

I think I’ll just guess.

Just whizzed up a new non-dairy/non-egg batter recipe, which looked a bit thin, so I've chucked in a banana too.
Lemon and sugar in a bit.

Meal 3.

 

[RubyToogood]

MY PANCAKES HAVE BEEN STOLEN. Literally.

My recipe box for this week was on a van that got stolen whilst it was out on deliveries today.

I hope the thieves enjoy my fucking pancakes. And the rest of their week of delicious healthy dinners


(I did manage oat pancakes with maple syrup, raspberries and yoghurt for breakfast so all was not lost.)

 

[killer b]

Delia's recipe for pancakes makes a very parsimonious number, I have to say. It's probably for the best, but two each doesn't feel right.

 

[neonwilderness]

Depends how big they are tbf

 

[Little Piranha]

I've been told by two of my friends that it doesn't count to have pancakes for breakfast, you have to have them for dinner on Pancake Day because that's special.

Guess I'm going to have to do some more...

You have to have them for every meal. It’s pancake day, not pancake morning.

I have just been reliably informed that my other half's teenage son has eaten 9 ½ pancakes this evening.

I am filled with an admiration that verges on awe.

Nice work though I thought having hollow legs was completely normal for teenage boys...

I think his jeans are a 28'' waist or something else ridiculously tiny. It defies the laws of physics frankly.

My brother was ridiculously skinny when he was younger and you have really never seen anyone eat that much ever. (Until in his 30s, his eight pints of Guinness and a pizza on the way home habit finally caught up with him.)

My nine-year old nephew is going exactly the same way. He looks like my sister literally doesn't feed him and he eats like there's no tomorrow. I don't understand it either. So unfair.

 

[quiet guy]

That's when you start your forty day fast. Bonus points if you can wander about in the desert for all of that time, too.

Not in lockdown you wont

Same here - still a 30" waist and skinny, and eat whatever I want. Sorry!

I did put on 10kg due to a drug I was on, but have lost that again since stopping it.

Reminder for next year:

Dear Epona - It doesn't matter what fancy, new-fangled, non-stick pans you have as your latest kitchen purchase - the best thing you own for cooking pancakes is always going to be the heavy stainless steel omelette pan, trying any other pan out is just going to cause excess washing up and a possibly ruined pancake.

Will you be having actual pancakes or crepes?

Shroves

My parents had a set of those plates .

Shroves

Shrove is just the past tense of shrive, which means to do penance or seek absolution. It has nothing to do with pancakes

Depends on the pancake.

Well OK it has nothing to do with MY pancakes which after 40 years of practice doing them are all reward and no penance

Hot cross shrives, then

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I had two, one with lemon and sugar, the other with lime and sugar. Same old same old, but, at 37 years of age, this was the first time I was required to make my own
