Pancake day 365

[thelawnet]

I'm not keen on sweet pancakes. Made these instead.

You'd think one pancake would not be very filling, but all the double cream, cheese etc. means it is.

It's rather telling that while people from New Orleans to Rio to Berlin are celebrating Mardi Gras/Fasching/Carnival with fun & frolic, the British are chomping on a humble pancake.

True -- but my pancakes are anything but 'humble' .

Wanted to make some pancake mix to cook this evening, only had old uht milk (05.6.2018)
It was cheesy, slimy. Buying some fresh today, learnt that even uht milk goes off

How might one describe them?
Right Honourable?
Sophisticated?
What sort of words do fancy restaurants use?

[Cyril Haearn]

Pancakes = fried porridge?

Just made pancakes with wholemeal flour plus OATMEAL! Either I was lucky, or oatmeal is a magic ingredient, the result is perfect

Porridge for breakfast, pancakes for tea, and what for lunch?

[Cyril Haearn]

Pancakes of course

I've only just seen this, thanks - I *suspect* it is even funnier at christmas time!

Cyril Haearn what proportion of oatmeal to flour did you use? I could experiment of course but easier to try somebody else's experience first.

[Cyril Haearn]

Maybe 15% oatmeal, the end of a packet (I use just a little in porridge)
Used a sprinkling of fine oats too
The dough thickens up while standing, I always leave it a while, oatmeal absorbs moisture
I shall try with a higher oat factor, as Pete notes above, there are many other possibilities

Just got six pancakes as bread substitute for the next couple of days, +1
I used sunflower oil, BTW

What Mick F, do you like pancakes?
Sorry, porridge it is I was thinking of

[yakdiver]

I had pancakes on christmas day

[Mick F]

I had pancakes on christmas day

I had beer, then roast beef, Yorkshires and roast spuds, plus veg.

No porridge at all.
