Shrove Tuesday today

[OldBlueLady]

Obviously very few people will actually even be considering the whys and wherefores about the reasons behind Shrove Tuesday, but who will be getting the old frying pan out later on and if so what's your preferred topping?

I'm a traditional lemon and sugar type, but then many of you probably guessed that!

I've voted for what I would be going for if I had a kitchen to make them in! And you can't go wrong with classic lemon and sugar

I will be beating my eggs and tossing my pan tonight for the wife's pleasure!!

Blimey, I had no idea it was Shrove Tuesday today. As fate goes, I actually had pancakes for breakfast on Saturday. Won't be making any tonight, though. My girlfriend is working 'til late and I'll be at The Hall.

I am hoping the old dear cooks some up after me and the old man return from the match but as this as likely as Matt Harrold one day playing in the prem than i feel for the 3rd year running i will go without again!

Yes, i'm no Alex Revell you know!;)

 

[MK Shrimper]

flour??? which kind??

Plain!

Plain flour, eggs, milk, bit of sugar in the mix. Dont ask me for amounts cos I just guesstimate.

Veg oil in a VERY hot pan. Bit of the mix in the pan and toss when required!

As much as I love the traditional sweet toppings on the pancakes (lemon and sugar, jam, chocolate spread) you really cant beat a nice savoury filling. Ham and cheese is an easy choice but my personal favourite ive tried was roasted peppers and goats cheese

Exactly Tootie, which always leaves me wondering why as a nation do we tend to only eat Pancakes one Tuesday every year.

Pancakes are simple to make and are so versatile. I held a Pancake Dinner party once, as I got challenged to come up with one major aspect that could be used in every course.
