HAPPY PANCAKE DAY EVERYONE !
If you don't have a good recipe for pancakes try this one that I used to make at Buckingham Palace. 600 pancakes every shrove tuesday....
English Pancakes
Ingredients
8 ounces plain flour (all purpose flour)
1 egg
2 egg yolks
2 ounces butter
½ ounce caster sugar (extra fine granulated)
1 pint milk (20 fluid ounces)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
pinch of salt
Sugar, lemons and Oranges for garnish
1 tablespoon vegetable oil to “season the pan”
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, ½ oz sugar and salt
Add the egg and yolks followed by the milk and vegetable oil and continue whisking until there are no lumps
Melt the butter in a small pan until it is golden brown and whisk into the pancake mix. Leave the batter to rest for about 15 minutes
Heat an 8 inch pancake pan – or small frying pan and add the 1 tbs vegetable oil and spread it around the base of the pan. Carefully heat the oil until it starts to smoke and then pour it into a small bowl for later use if needed and return the pan to the heat
Pour about two tablespoons of the batter into the pancake pan, tilting the pan to coat the base evenly. Cook until the base is golden brown and then turn or toss to cook the other side
Turn out the pancake onto an upturned dinner plate and repeat step 5 with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes
Serve straight away with the lemon and orange wedges and sugar
If you want to make the pancakes in advance then lightly butter an ovenproof tray and sprinkle each pancake with sugar. Fold them in half and then half again arranging neatly on the tray. Cover the tray with foil and bake in a 350f / 175c degree oven for about 15 minutes. Serve with the lemon and Orange wedges
Makes about 20 (8 inch) pancakes

Re: pancake day in the Uk, whats your fave topping??
I made pancakes last night for us, we had savory ones for dinner (cheddar cheese, mushrooms & ham). I also made some this morning for my playgroup, we had Nutella & banana, the kids had peanut butter & banana. Everyone in the group loves to see what I make, as it's usually something they've never heard of before. Last week I had playgroup at my house & made Flapjack, apparently that's what pancakes are sometimes called here, the only thing I could think of that it was comparable to is Granola.

Here's a fun article about pancake day from the BBC in Wiltshire:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/conte..._feature.shtml
It has some good suggestions for sweet or savoury fillings too

I've never tried making pancakes with the sugar in the mixture. My husband likes his pancakes covered in enough sugar to rot your teeth on contact, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
