It's pancake Tuesday! A truly excellent (if a little fattening) day!
Here's how you make a daycent enough Pancake.
Ingredients
8 Oz of Flour
2 Eggs
1 Pint of milk
Don't bother sifting the flour in, just heap it into the bowl and create a well in the middle.
Lob in the 2 eggs and mix it into the flour until all the egg is absorbed - not all the flour will absorb into the eggs, but a fair bit will.
Then mix in the milk and "stir the shite out of it" as my mother said.
leave it to stand for 15-20 minutes - that's important apparently.
Things to do whilst you're waiting for the batter mix to settle.
1: You can go and have a shite
2: head off and have a shave
3: Run down to your neighbours house and kick in the windows
At this stage, put on your pan. make sure the pan is fairly hot and lob a scoop/pad of butter onto the smoking pan, then ladle in your first pancake.
roll the pan around until the pancake covers a fair bit of the pan and then leave on high heat until it begins to bubble.
Then it's time to flip/chart/pad! (translation - toss the pancake)
This action I will have to leave to yourself, as there is no particular way to do this properly that I know of. So god be with you.
Once flipped - leave until you are satisfied and then use a spatula to take the pancake off.
On the plate - cover with caster sugar and lemon juice and serve.
There's loads of other ways to eat pancakes - Nutella choc spread/jam/banana
Let me know what your favorite is - and I'll try it out meself tonite.

Good work Stevo. One idea thats more of a full-blown dessert is to wrap a ball of ice cream (or two) in a warm pancake (or two). Optional is to drizzle sauce of some sort over the top - I wouldnt recommend YR Sauce though. Chef is much fruitier whe whe whe
hahah - a pancake SMOTHERED in YR.
it's enough to make you move onto Ash Wednesday!
I have some Maple Syrup at home that will be used in the kitchen instead of the bedroom this evening!
Fierce altogether. Not a mad butter fan meself. The all new Healthy Del Regime begins today, with official Sixpack project to commence reeeal soon like
Pa's right. Layer of butter, sprinkling of sugar and then a good splash of Jif (lemon, not the household cleaner recently renamed Cif). As for the flour. Sift it.
SIIIIIIIIFT IIIIIT.
(sift)

Man - I made 15 of the greates pancakes ever last night.
And there wasn't a sight of sifting in the whole process.
You don't need to sift anyway - if yer making a well.
I'll sift you!
Apparently you ain't supposed to use butter on the pan, an oil of some sort is apparently much better (not castrol GTX), something to do with butter attaining a high cooking heat to quickly!
