aka pancake day
yum yum
OH is ace though her recipe is for crêpes which are lighter than the trad pancake. Usually we have a party ( it is Mardi Gras in New Orleans ) but that is not on this year.

Traditional for me, topped with lemon juice and just a little sugar.

I like to use a very old frying pan, which is just the right weight for even cooking, but not too heavy to flip the pancake.

None for me today. I forgot to order eggs!

I usually have to make two different batters anyway - one gluten-free (which I am not keen on or I would have just used that for me too) and one ordinary plain flour.

I like the crepe recipe better than our traditional recipe too, Rollo.

I like lemon and sugar on them too - I also like sliced bananas and maple syrup on them.

Ah, well, I'll have to wait for Thursday's delivery. :-(

Traditional for us too , lemon and sugar....... and I'm beginning to get back to a "good" recipe, as I've had to transfer to using gluten-free flour and a non-dairy milk. This will be the 3rd year of the gluten-free trials, and I'll find out in a couple of hours whether this year is THE recipe to use.

Luckily OH likes the gluten-free, or at least he doesn't complain.

We take turns in cooking pancakes after I've done the first 2 (1 for him, 1 for me).

I turn the pancakes, he tosses them.

His pancake hasn't hit the ceiling or the floor in 54 years ....... and I dunno how many before that, as they used to make them when he was at school.

Forgot to make them after shovelling snow for hours today :-D

I think I've finally got the right mix for gluten-free lactose-free pancakes.

They were really good tonight.

Then I ended up with a very sore back ................... not as hard a day s you had though, Caroline.

Hope you're better tomorrow.

Yes so far thanks....won't need to shovel again until tomorrow :-D

Good, glad to hear that.

Our snow has all gone now, only a couple of little spots in sheltered locations. That always happens here ...... wait 2 days and it's gone.

Not so far this winter for us...the dog is trying her best to eat it all though.
