A question about : Pancake Day!
It's Pancake Day tomorrow which is one of our favourite things to celebrate at MSE, seeing as it's all based around using what you've got in your cupboards and being a bit thrifty!
So we want you to vote in The Great MSE Poll...Sweet or Savoury?
I personally prefer the classic lemon and sugar, but I've seen some great combinations out there from Nutella and banana to Chicken satay! :/
Feel free to post your best, thriftiest recipes as well.
Let us know if you're a sweet or savoury pancake-r in the poll
Best answers:
- Sweet, lemon and sugar are our favourites
- My husband just had golden syrup and black pepper. He said it was delicious. He's a very strange man!
- given it is national cabbage day should be savoury - so try Japanese cabbage pancakes
- I always have fresh squeezed orange juice on mine, the lemon makes it a bit too 'tart' for my taste buds!
I made the batter up at lunchtime then put it away in the fridge to let the gluten rest. - I prefer sweet but did do savoury ones last year for a change, back to sweet ones this year
- Lime and brown sugar
Coconut and blackcurrant jam
Nutella
Pear and dulce de leche - I had mine with bacon and maple syrup
- I don't like them but made them for him indoors. He ate them with sugar and fresh lemon
- Him indoors poured honey on his pancakes
me indoors - fresh fruit salad, double cream and x2 pancakes. - I had to think about this one - I make pancakes often with the grandgirls and we usually make sweet ones - and I don't have one. but, if I make pancakes for me and OH - then I fill them with savoury stuff. like leftover Bolognese or Cheese.
oh and today grandgirls and I discussed WHY pancakes are traditional. the girls said it was to use up eggs etc............and I pointed out that it only uses ONE egg to every 8ounces of flour - hardly using up eggs! scrambled eggs or omelette would use up more eggs. - We had ours with honey.
- We had three different sweet toppings:
lemon juice and sugar
golden syrup
lemon curd.
Going to make sure we don't wait a year before we have pancakes again - Fresh squeezed orange juice and sugar on ours.
I have to say, I don't know why we don't have them more often considering how cheap they are! - Today's were with maple syrup. There's still some batter left, so if I get up in time I'll have one with yoghurt and berries for breakfast. And I was just looking at the half-tin of cocunut milk in the fridge wondering if pancakes with 50-50 normal milk and coconut milk might be nice, maybe with lime and brown sugar or pineapple and cream.
