Pancake day!

What are you having on your pancakes today? And, most importantly, are your pooches getting some, too?

We're having them for main course and dessert

Main course is prawns and haddock in a cheesy leek sauce with spinach, wrapped in a pancake.

Dessert, we'll keep it simple with lemon juice and sugar.

I was given this recipe for doggy-friendly pancakes: https://www.lilyskitchen.co.uk/lilyland/dog/recipes/pancake-recipe-for-dogs

We can't get buckwheat flour, or cottage cheese, here, but I've tried making some with rice flour and they worked well. So they can have those with a bit of the fish filling. Lucky pooches

 

We are! We are!

I'm getting golden syrup and lemon juice!

Stanleys getting peanut butter and banana

 

Love pancakes (strictly lemon and sugar only) - hate the mess, so no - bah humbug!

 

Pancakes here, with lemon juice and Cornish clotted cream ! Sam will most likely snaffle some too x

 

Just had my pancakes - I'm strictly a lemon and sugar gal . Made them using half milk and half whey left over from making Greek yoghurt, and they were delicious.

 

I LOVE pancakes, Thomas my youngest son is our pancake chef and he always makes two little ones for Hattie & Charlie I love maple syrup and banana on mine or golden syrup or caster sugar - YUM!! Enjoy!! xx

 

OH has decided not to make pancakes this year.

Holly and I are NOT impressed.

 

You need to rise up against this awful decision guys or make them yourself!!

 

I'm not allowed to use her new range. It's only a week old and I might break it.

I think the answer might be to walk Holly downtown and see if we can get pancakes at the pub!

 

Dutch pancakes with bacon and cheese! For me that is! With apple and sugar! Very delicious...Finn will get a blanco pancake!

 

What's with pancake day? Is this a U.K. thing?

 

It's to mark the start of Lent. We make pancakes - proper ones, not those fake American ones, or foofy French crepes.

 

we made "dropped scones" or scotch pancakes.
Yum yum. Don't last long enough to get butter jam syrup or anything on them - hot off the griddle.
Used to always burn them until I got an electric griddle,

Might make crepes at the weekend - then its lemon and sugar for sure,
Always a little one for Lilly x

 

Wait a minute... I happen to love my (American style) pancakes, thank you very much. With butter and maple syrup, of course (Canadian maple of course).

I know we talked about this before, but I still don't quite get what an English pancake is...

 

Erm.....a "crumpet" ?
( as opposed to a strumpet )

 

NO! Pancakes and crumpets are quite, quite different!!!!

 

An American pancake is very similar (if not identical) to a Scotch pancake.



An English pancake is far thinner, larger and generally rolled or folded.



A crumpet is something entirely different, and contains yeast, bicarbonate of soda and no eggs:

 

Oh god I would kill for poached eggs on crumpets right now!

 

NOOOO!!! Crumpets are for a half pound of salted butter (each) and, if you're really pushing the boat out, an inch of Marmite or Bovril on the top.

 

Perfection.
