Shrove Tuesday - Best pancake flavours?

[Kirstie]

Chilli.

And this is for the main course. Allow two to three generously filled pancakes per person.

Basically a red kidney beans in chilli/tomato sauce mixture, but without the meat (for us - of course you can add the meat if you want to). You need to cook it fairly dry and then roll it into the pancakes. We have it often. It's a remarkably good combi, because the sharp acidic taste of the chilli sauce, and the bland taste of the pancake batter, complement each other nicely. Try it!

Oh: and all that fuss (above) about making the perfect pancake - forget it! Getting the pancake to cohere properly without tearing, and without being too greasy - once you've mastered that you're away...

You can do cannelloni in the same way (using buckwheat pancakes to make up the cannelloni by rolling them)

Probably about as fresh as this thread ... :P

I do like a pancake. Partly as they were a BIIIIG treat thing in my childhood. Nom-nom! [but please, leave the chocolaty fillings in France where they belong ... ]

You're making buying them wrong.

Love the classic fresh squeezed lemon juice and sugar.

As the international jet-setter I am a group of us are at Centre Parcs. At the Pancake House everyone ordered the most sugar, cream, fruit, ice cream and sauce laden pancake dishes possible.

I had chilli beef. The meaty spicy aroma seemed to deflate the others enjoyment of their sugary platters. It was suggested I not do it again and still get reminded of it to this day.

Just cooked 11 at lunch for everyone. Lemon and a little sprinkle of sugar, then maple syrup on the other.

How come a group of you are at Centre Parcs during lockdown Salty ?

Jif lemon, preferably from the lemon shaped squirt thingie, and castor sugar..
MrsPete is partial to a dowsing of maple syrup.

We just snuck in a quick getaway before lockdown. It was a bit of a chance we took to be fair but we didn't really know that in 2015.

We’re doing them tomorrow morning for breakfast as we ran out of time today.

personally I just prefer good old fashioned lemon and sugar.

 

[Randomnerd]

Just had mine. Ham, cheese and leeks. And a couple of sweet ones for afters. Lovely. You’re all tossers, and I am too.

Just made 8 between Mrs A_T and me... with butter, maple syrup, blueberries and ice cream... feel happily full, if slightly queasy.
