I heard ti was pancake day tomorrow. And I was ordered to make some! :lol: I only make blinis, they are similar right? And I hate bloody sugar and sweet stuff on them I I have just discovered soem maple syrup George bought especailly :yikes:

Anyone have any nice as ideas for savoury ones? And an involving smoked salmon cos I have loads to eat. :D I suppose I cna put cream cheese in with the salmon? :shrug: Or creme fraiche and dill but 'im indoors hates dill :rolleyes: Anywa share your pancake experinces mad or otherwise :D

Btw I once had to fill sweet pancakes so I put bacradi, lime and cream in them :lol:

that's tomorrow???? bugger........i used to do a tomato and veg mix and put it on my pancakes - never really liked sweet pancakes eitther so always went savoury. you can pretty much put what you like on them - that's the beauty of pancakes....

*goes to find a pancake recipe*

my kids have ordered in the traditional lemon and sugar.. oh,and ice-cream and maple syrup... I went and stocked up on eggs, flour and milk this evening :unsure:

Yeah it's fine for a dessert, but I can't eat that as my main course though. I'd be sick! :unsure: We used to get that Jiff lemon and sugar as kids though but my tastes have changed. I don't liek maple syrup either, mayeb my Bacardi and lime wasn't so bad after all :D

Sounds tasty. I can immagine courgettes in it and some cheese :D

Tbh I eat savoury pancakes most weekends with cheese and onion and whatever else is around, but Geroge makes them so I never have to bother. I mus look up that pancake batter mix and get some eggs. Marguerite Patten here I come. :D

it used to just be spaghetti bolgnaise in a pancake :blush: i might have a go at making some tomorrow, although it seems kind of against the spirit of pancake day to go and buy ingredients to make pancakes :unsure:

:lol: mine want it as a main meal too :blink:

your version sounds more to my liking though!

I had to go out and buy some special - I used up all our ingredients at the weekend...

I was quite amused today at tea when micro solemnly informed me she would give up chocolate and cake for lent and mini decided he would give up school and vegetables - wish I had thought of that as a kid!

Yeah I know what you mean :unsure: I don't like to jump bandwagons myself I was just asked to make some out of the blue! :shrug: Anyway if i do them crap he won't ask again :lol:

Spag bol in a pancake - I could eat that :ok: Or chilli, why not cos tortillas are kind of like pancakes. I could always shove my speciality curried chickpeas in there :lol: Kinda feel they work better with naan or chapatis though.

Btw there used to a restaurant called Pizza 1 Pancakes 2 in Bethnal Green. They did spag bol pancakes aparently. My friend lived in there, she had a main course pancake and a desert pancake! Used to have a pancake place in Nottingham but it didn't last logn cos folks seemed not to take to 2-3 course sof pancakes like they took to pizza and pasta. I think ti was co sth efillings were sickly, load sof creany chicken and stuff, it was yucky.

:yahoo: I managed to make pancakes.....all by myself :clap:

well done you :)

and what did you have with them in the end?

some with bolognaise sauce and then 1 special one with sugar and lemon..... B)

sounds yum :)

did your kids like theirs???

:sicky: Just had approximately 8 pancakes (lemon and sugar!)

Pancakes are great with soup-something like vegetable or beef broth, and if you grate onion in the pancake mix that helps.
anyway i forgot it was pancake day, i'll have some tomorrow.

i just found a recipe for spinach pancakes, which sounded good....

BT if you're having some pancakes tomorrow, pass some over my way will ya :P

Spinach and mushroom pancakes rock!

yeah, I got tricked into promising to make them again on Friday :unsure:

they do sound very nice :)

Be happy to DJ,
but i warn you my cooking is not the best, I'm a live on my own bachelor-i love my own cooking-but it's not for the faint harted, my pancakes are thick and...well tacky-i love em, but not sure others would.

:sicky: indeed!

I made my first ever ones and they were excellent. I put smoked slamon and cream cheese with gherkins in one and mushroom creamed with cheddar and red onion in the other. :D I'm gonna have a dessert one, I might put Zubrowska vodka and lime in it for a laugh.

:hug: well considering i've only made pancakes once in my life - that was tonight....... and the first two were, ummm....slightly disastrous, definitely not circular like pancakes should be, and only slightly burnt :blink:

That's how I did mine - some substance to them or waste of space. Now I got the hang of it I'll try and see if I can do more types. reckon you could add spice to the mix - chill and ginger pancackes here I come :D

Twas my first go too, we are pancake virgins :D Did you manage to do the toss? I tried but had to chicken out cos it half flipped and then folded.

its not everyday you see SB asking jo about whether she tossed...

the pancakes with vodka in sound soooo nice SB - I'll have some of those please!

i managed it yes :D had a few scary moments but was quite pleased with myself......

:clap:

You're more of a t8sser than I am then :lol:

Go on then :D

I reckon rum and banana would go but I've got no rum

ooooo that sounds even more nice - I'll have some of those too!

I didn't know such a day existed until I caught James McAvoy making pancakes on Blue Peter yesterday...

:o the scandal of it all...... :P

roflmao

Well you are supposed to have pancakes before lent i think, to use up all the fats etc before you starve for lent I think.

Today is Ash Wednesday so as I am not Catholic I reckon I can take that as a cue to smoke as much as I wish. :D

yep - which makes me feel that going out and buying flour in order to make pancakes goes against the whole spirit of pancake day - but i did it anyway! I'm so proud of myself that I might do it again sometime. Theyre so quick and easy to make :ok:

I know, we had to buy some eggs esecially too.

I was surprised at how easy it was and how well they came out making me want to try it again becuase there are endless possibilites for fillings. :D I'm considering trying to make tortillas or chapatis if I can get the right flour etc.

Pancake day?? :o
Thought it was Shephards Pie Day yesterday? That's what I had anyway :P

And today is Duck breast in a Pomegranate sauce day which I am sooo looking forward to attempting to cook and eat as 2 of my favourite things :tongue: :tongue:

Sounds intererting. How do you do the pomegranite sauce cos there is sod all in a pommie and they are not in season until about October?

yeah, i was surprised by how easy it was too.....I have tons of plain flour now so I think i'm gonna have to make some more. oooh....and yourkshire puddings too! :D

I know.. :( Much to my dismay as I love the buggers..
Sooo.. just gonna buy one of those 100% Pomegranate juice drinks :lol:
The recipe itself calls for just purely the juice so hopefully it will turn out ok :unsure:
Outta some Morrocan recipe book..

I keep meaning to have a go at them but end up just buying the frozen ones... I love a real big home made Yorkshire Pud :ok:
