Not just pancake day.

Free Pancake Day.


Also: Pączki Day

See you at the BMI thread.


ETA: Pączki Day is the Thursday before Lent in Poland, but the Tuesday before Lent (Fat Tuesday) in America.

Tip from me to the people:

Especially good if cooking pancakes for kids - get some blue food dye, chuck it in the pancakes. Looks like the blue elephant thing from the Star Wars band's arse. Kids love it - blue/green pancakes.

I'm not much of a fancy-pants pancake man. I like 'em thin and dense. Breton-stylee, G!

Mother-Fucking P-Cakes, freestyle.

2 freestyle...I mean range eggs.

250g Organgster...I mean ganic plain honky flour.

1 pint milk.

Du sel. (pinch o')

Don't bother sifting, just murder the fuck out of it with an electric whisk.

Then leave it in the fridge for at least an hour to get rid of the bubbles.

But a tablespoon of sunflower oil in the pan to prevent the butter from burning and then add a tiny bit of butter before frying each p-cake.

TIP Don't try to move the p-cake in the pan until it's cooked for a minute. Most p-cake stickage is due to attempting early movement.

Yeah, this whole week is "Pancake Week" in Russia....
I have forgotten the significance of it but everyone there freaks over this holiday and we all ate fuck loads of pancakes for a week....sweet and savory ones.

The retarded thing is that living there, I along with most Russians ate tons of pancakes and any Normal week.....so it was just funny to see them get so excited about it....like having "Hamburger" or "Pizza" day here.
"Yay! we finally get to eat a pizza!"

If I remember correctly, the kids would also make an effigy of somesort, kind of like a scarecrow and burn him...kind of like Guy Fawlkes day, but I don't remember why....

Word. This is how I do my mix too.

I'm flipping pancakes like it's going out of fashion.

By the way, you can use this same mix for Yorkshire puddings if you use self-raising flour.

Also, my pancakes are more like crepes. I mean, they're big. Those wee ones are for poofs*.


*No offense intended.

This is what Stephane Grappelli said about playing a solo on yr musical instrument. "You must start well, and you must end well."

Pancakes.

Everyday is Pancake Day

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar


2 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups Pancake Mix, recipe above

In one bowl whisk the egg whites and buttermilk together. In another bowl mix the yolks and butter.

Then whisk both together and pour on top of the dry mix. Mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.

Happy Pancake Day!

I highly recommend that everyone make Chris Herbert's pancakes today. I made them last year and found them excellent.
