Just whisked up Delia's recipe. Used to use Floyd's, which was good, but takes longer to prepare.

Emmental and ham (with fried egg in it) is my favourite, but I've used all the eggs, we only have cheddar and it's peeing down out there, so I'm not going to the shop.

Anyway, everybody else in clan pneumatic skips the savouries and goes straight for the classic lemon and sugar, the suzette and (not or!) banana and nutella with squirty cream.

My dream as a young man was to buy a crepe van (Citroen H like this one):

and disappear around Europe in it.

Now my dream is the same, only it will have a bike rack attached.

I just used delia's recipe to make pancakes for the kids. The eldest two had lemon and sugar, my two year old had jam on. He loves jam on most things.
I'm having delia's low fat chicken kebabs tonight - I'm being good and I only had one bite of the kids pancakes.

What are you giving up for lent? I can't give up wine so I'm going to give up cider and orange squash (I get through litres and litres of squash every week) in favour of filtered water. (Not that I'm in anyway religous).

As every year, pineapple, sherry, being nice about dogs and all the other things that I avoid naturally anyway. Oh, and pear drops!

Isn't Lent a clever ruse by the early church? Just at the point where foodstocks are running really low and starvation is on the cards; just at the moment where people are either going to start killing each other for the contents of their larders or gloating nastily about how provident they have been not to scoff it all already, along comes the idea that it is really virtuous to deprive yourself and morally dreadful to be a glutton.

You've got to hand it to them, they weren't daft!

They're baying for pancakes downstairs, time to go an fire up the pan.

I am another non pancake man, they have an adverse affect on my digestion if you get what I mean.

Love making them though,kids had 1 each with choccy spread and the wife had 8,yes 8 with lemon and sugar.
I really don't know where she puts it as is a size eight and weighs in at a hefty 8 stone.

P.S she followed this later with King Prawn Stir Fry with Noodles :shock:

Mars bar and penut butter for me only for the simple reason that when I used to be a chef I worked at a fine dining ala-carte place and I made up my own version of the famous deep fried mars bar and deep fried ice cream but that another tale..

Since I dont fat fry anything now I will share what you do.. it tastes bloody amazing.. kinda like a food orgasm

cook a pancake and let it cool
get a mars bar and chop an equal sizes square of mars bar and place it in the centre of the crepe.
get a nice hefty blob of the old skippy penut butter and dollop it on the top of the mars bar.
use some folding skills to make a little parcel and place in the fryer.. clean oil only otherwise it will taste of other junk.. it only needs to be in for about 20 seconds so the mars bar is nice and soft but not nuked..
put on a plate in the centre with some white chock sauce drizzled over the top ad arround the edge..

forget all the above and just do it without the fryer fat and oil and just nuke it in the microwave for a few seconds.. mmmmm wish I was not trying to keep the bad food to a minimum otherwise I would have had some pancakes and other crap this eve..

I'd like to do business with you.

I thought that pancakes on Shrove Tuesday were just for when the children were little and therefore didn't give the significance of today any thought.. First thing 17 yr old son says when i got home this evening was "are we having pancakes tonight ?" Later, 22 year old phoned home to say "Happy Pancake Day" and describe the exotic pancake feast that she and her firend were having.No doubt third child and mates in student halls will be having pancakes laced with alcohol of various types.
Gues we'll be celebrating "Shrove Wednesday " tomorrow.

Clever Pun

I made a filling of prawn, leek & mascapone with some spices as a main

for dessert I tried the following combos
golden sryup + banana
chocolate toffee
sugar and lemon
banana + ice cream

and then I was very full indeed

I completely forgot about Pancake day, but coincidentally went to our favourite chinese restaurant, and had crispy duck, IN PANCAKES!!!

Lovely
