Pancakes

[melv16]

What are you having on yours tonight?
My topping of choice is orange juice and sugar.

[-SharonA-]

I am having crepes suzette! Loads of orange juice and a touch of curacao.

I prefer crepes to actual pancakes.

[ummmm]

Probably won't have any. If I did I'm sure Nutella will be involved somewhere (the son) but I'd prob do orange and sugar.

[Jackdaw33]

Explain the difference, Sharon, to my mind they are two names for the same thing.

[ABSpareEditor]

I usually go for bananas and Nutella, all rolled up in a crepe like a fajita.

[gingejbee]

Decent-sized pancakes spread with Belgian chocolate spread and drizzled with Cointreau (we are all adults!).

Shameless C&P

We tend to use the words 'pancake' and 'crepe' interchangeably but they're actually very different. The main difference is that pancake batter has a raising agent in it such as baking powder or baking soda, whereas crepe batter does not. This means that pancakes are thicker and fluffy whilst crepes are thin and flat.

[-SharonA-]

You're probably right Jackdaw!!! I think crepes are thinner. They're definitely posher!!

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not a fan so won't be partaking.

[pastafreak]

I won't bother. Too much faff for one person.

[ummmm]

Mamy...that sounds like American pancakes. We don't use a raising agent in ours.

[Canary42]

Lemon juice (fresh).

[Jackdaw33]

Well my mother never put baking soda into her batter, either for pancakes or yorkshires. To be honest, I think you're talking a load of crêpe, Mamya.

[sherrardk]

My lot will have sugar, lemon juice and golden syrup - I'm not having any, as much as I love them, beause I nearly lost the will to live after cooking their 18 pancakes (I'm not big on patience).

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry for the misinformation, as I said not a fan so not something I bother with much.

[Jackdaw33]

I agree with pasta. Just bought a pack of 6 pre-cooked ones, 10 secs in the micro.

[B00]

Icecream, strawberries and strawberry sauce.

[murraymints]

Boo can I come to you ??

[eanceoil]

Lemon and sugar or lyles golden syrup

[jollyroger66]

Onion gravy

[Gizmonster]

Here we go - 3 savoury and 1 sweet pancake for me:

Round 1: Bacon, cheese, mushroom, onion and salad.

Round 2: Spicy mince with mushroom, onion and salad.

Round 3: Tuna, mayo, sweetcorn, spring onion and salad.

Round 4: Banana, strawberry sauce and cream.

.... I'm a bit full now ........
