It's Pancake Tuesday MKF 03/04/03

[MOUSE]

So cute. My girl came home yesterday (it's wednesday here now) and announced it was pancake day! We don't really celebrate it here, so I wouldn't have know about it, but I had checked out this thread so I had all the information. She was a little dissappointed that she wasn't telling me anything new.
Then, natually she tried to get me to make some. Pancakes are like our little treat, something I introduced her to when we first dated. We have them with suger and lemon.
I use to make them with my mum when we wanted a midnight snack, when we were having movie nights. Now I just make them for breakfast when we feel like something special.
Needless to say, we didn't have them for dinner last night. Maybe that will be breakfast on the weekend.

I've got a question. Not what to put on pancakes, it's much more basic than that.

How do you make them?

If you read the 'Happy' thread, you'll have seen I was happy the other day coz I cooked bangers'n'mash (yay me!!). My mum's broken a metatarsal in her foot so I'm cooking for a change. I did fish pie on Thursday, that tasted really good, but I promised Mum I'd try pancakes today. I wanted to psych myself up to make them so I needed the whole day

Any suggestions?

Feena,

Try this site here for recipes, it gives you the basic mix plus filling ideas Pancakes

My other advise is make the batter as early as possible and leave it to rest, a couple of hours is long enough. It's also best not to attempt to flip them whilst pissed Not that I would do that, 36 days to go.

I only make them one day a year (it's like a law or something), but the recipe on this page sounds about right:

Also, you should note that these are different (ie nicer) then American pancakes.

Dammit, the Gooner beat me to it

Have lots of flippy fun, Feena!

[feena191]

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how I get on

And good luck for this afternoon Zippy. I'm sure you'll beat Chelsea

[Zippy]

Em,

you better not have jinxed me! You cheer Villa on they get knocked out, you cheer for Farnborough they get knocked out. I can see a pattern, I am stressed enough about this already

[feena191]

Sorry hun. I'll cheer for Chelsea if that helps?

Yay Chelsea!

Guess it wouldn't help to tell you that my local non-league side, Nuneaton Borough, are hovering over the trapdoor of relegation then, huh Zoe?

Come on you Blues!

[Zippy]

That just isn't funny.

ETA - Feena, sorry that was a comment directed at the football jinx that is Borednow, your support is greatly appreciated

[feena191]

It wasn't supposed to be. I was just trying to make you feel better, & say sorry if you think I jinxed you.

It's okay Zippy

I've made my batter & it's sitting under a teatowel to breathe (if that's why it stands?). I'm going to go & cook it now, so wish me luck

At last, someone mentions a team that are actually below my beloved Woking in the league. Thanks Emma

PS 2-2 draw for the Gooners, so not too badly jinxed

[BoredNow99]

You're more than welcome, anytime

If the Arse's success or failure was dependent on my jinx-y powers then me pretending to support Chelsea but really supporting the Gooners probably resulted in the 2-2 draw.

Sorry Zoe.

[tommo]

Woking. Hee. Bless ya.

Macclesfield Town at least drew today. Silkmen. Sigh.

I HATE PANCAKES WITH THE FIERY PASSION OF A ZILLION FIERY SUNS!!!!!!

And who said they were supposed to be flat & round anyway?

Well the ones I made were sort of clumped together , them me & Mum had a row because apparently I ruined her precious pancake only-to-be-used-once-a-year pan when I cooked the sausages in it last week. We made it up though so that's okay She did agree she hadn't actually told me that was her pancake only-to-be-used-once-a-year pan.

Mum finished off making them, so we did have some proper ones and I've promised to buy a new pan & try again

That's true, hey I made Tara-pancakes!!! That makes me feel much better

[BoredNow99]

Well, funny shapes were good enough for Tara, so I think you should be congratulating yourself

These sound like the one's I made whilst pissed at 1am on monday night. I did mention the not drinking before making them didn't I?

A draw is not a good result, we should have bloody well won, now we have a sodding replay at Stamford bridge on the 25th.
