Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) 8th of March!
 
Just a reminder for you folks to get your lemons in!

I don't like the thick American pancakes.....love them thin and crispy like the French crepes, with a sprinkling of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice. Yum! :thumbup:

I made American style pancakes this morning, made the error of thinking that they would go well with lemon and sugar :thumbdown:

Big mistake!

You're all talking like you're limited to one!

First one - lemon and sugar
Second one - golden syrup
Third one - strawberry jam

Repeat:D

Sprinkling of sugar? I load it on, and the lemon juice!

Well thats a good idea. Mmmmm.
OK I have the batter made and in the fridge and picked up a lemon. Dinner about done :lol:

We just went with the American pancakes for lunch....but used some cinnamon and caramel chips in them, which were nice. The little one loves them that way anyway, with lashings of maple syrup.

Anyone else find it a coincidence that on International Womens Day most women will be in the kitchen making pancakes? :thumbup:

Yorkieabroad Mar 9th 2011 3:10 am

Re: Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) 8th of March!
 
And what do you have to do if she's not in the kitchen making pancakes?



Spoiler:
shorten her chain so she can't get out again....boom boom:D
Aaah...the old ones are the best. And theres always an exception to the rule....


Actually, as usual, I made the pancakes again this year. With a Chinese American wife its too too risky to leave it up to her.....they'll either come out with eggs and bacon, or else wrapped round a bit of frazzled duck with plum sauce....both of which are perfectly acceptable in the right place and time, but not today! And anyway, she's back in the UK (again) stocking up on Heinz puddings and ambrosia custard.....and from the look of the credit card bill, theres gonna be some excess baggage to pay for on the way home!

Hmm, we were short on ice cream, but squirty cream made an acceptable substitution.

You've been here too long - next you're gonna be telling us to stuff 'em with PBJ!!

Just made a load with lemon and sugar :thumbup:

Had some earlier with the kids, and the leftover batter was just sitting there, looking at me. So I've just finished it off. Feel sick now. Going to bed!

My husband is not a fan of English style pancakes (his loss) so I made a batch and ate them all myself. Heaven. With lemon juice and sugar of course.

Doesn't work like that though...I tend to "pay it forward".....you see the excuse for the extra pancakes last night was that I'd earned it by doing a long ride in the wind on Monday. Which may also be an excuse for a 9ers burger at lunchtime today....I can pay it a looooong way forward!!:D

Missed my burger today so my Monday ride owes me a curry tomorrow!

Got to get it while I can - the missus is back from the UK at the weekend and then it'll be rabbit food all round.....

And talking of eating properly, that skeleton you're all drooling over on that other thread (not going there - dangerous!) looks like he could do with a good all you can eat buffet. He needs to spend some time in Texas - he'll soon get some meat on his bones!
