I fucking love pancakes btw

[na§tee]

yes, it's next tuesday. i've been invited to a pancake party! when i say party, i mean going round to my friend jennifer's house and eating plates and plates of pancakes drinking vanilla vodka and LOLing.

pancakes are one of a list of products that the stewart family historically cannot cook but keep on trying anyway that include meringue, omelette, and swiss rolls.

[trailerprincess]

Yep, you're all right and I am wrong.

Apologies for general crapness.

Last week at Brownies one group was having a belated Burns supper and the other was having premature pancakes.

Haggis or pancakes is not a hard choice for a 7 year old.

And so then I guess it's Lent?

It's been a long time since I met a Christian who still does that.

Pancakes with peanut butter and syrup are outrageously tasty.

Is this one of those made-up holidays that got rumored on teh internets like Steak & a BJ Day?

It's a Christian thing, you have to do it before Lent. or not, if you don't believe in that stuff, but you can still eat pancakes.

*Raises hand*

However, this pancake thing is new to me, we have Fat Tuesday in the states, that's the only bingeing that I know of.


It's the same thing, we just thought of a nicer name for it.

Mmmmm. Pancakes.

I cheat though. I buy Aunt Bessie's readymade ones. :o A couple of years ago I attempted to make some and they were a disaster and stuck to the pan. Him indoors was so disappointed, bless him.

It's a bloody art form I swear. My mum used to knock out about 20 pancakes in a flash, none stuck. Mine are too think and the pan ends up soaking in the sink for three days.
An old lady at a bus stop once told me to put the batter in the fridge over night, and make sure the oil is hot.

[na§tee]

when you say pancakes, nivs, do you mean flat crepe-like pancakes or pure scotch thick delicious pancakes? eh eh eh?

[Nivvie]

I mean a large, three inch thick Yorkshire pudding in a frying pan. There needs to be a new catagory for my pancakes.

I have tried to make crepe things, no good.
And my proper pancakes are always runny in the middle, and if they're not, they're burned on the outside.

[Nivvie]

could you elaborate on this one?.....I am a pancake whore. I must know.


It's like a coaster you can fit in your toaster.

[Big Gus]

Pancakes are truly wonderful things. Especially Scots ones.

I cant make them for shit though. :( I got the "burnt/runny middle" issues.

[Big Gus]

Pretty much yeah. It doesnt taste like a scone though, it's hard to describe, but "like toasted, sweet, soft batter" would be my best attempt.

[Nivvie]

The gas grid doesn't reach me, so I have to use a crappy electric hob that only knows two temps, stupidly hot and off.

[cosmo105]

i can't make pancakes. :o


waffles > pancakes

[ggirlballa]

my pancakes come out looking like flour tortillas(n)


IHOP is sounds good right about now
