Not crêpe.

Sorry.

Good old Mitch.

For those too lazy to go to the first page, here's cjh's brilliant recipe.

1 egg
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil - or half oil, half melted butter..I'll experiment
pinch of salt

I'm eatin' these right now and, if I may make a change, I highly recommend using 1/4 melted butter in place of the vegetable oil. so nice

My mum is French, so I always have Crêpes.

C'est tres, tres bon.

Lent?
Ash Wednesday?
Pancake Day?

These things don't make a lot of sense to me.

But oooh boy, I'm flippin' that shit. Am I ever flippin' that shit right now.

When is Flapjack Day, and would I be right in thinking that you folks on the other side of the pond find a great distinction between flapjacks and pancakes?

I'd also like to second Chilly Willy as the Patron Saint of Pancake Day.

Pancakes - made predominently with flour and eaten hot, but not always. Scotch Pancakes (aka Drop Scones) are almost as delicious eaten cold. Almost.

Flapjacks - made predominantly with oats (the FJ's I've had anyway) and eaten cold.

hth.

edit: This year I pushed the boat out and aimed high re: pancake/crepe consumption. That's right, double figures. I have so far consumed 11, and the night, she is young!

So, when is it? Today?

I totally forgot. I always forget unless I see that advert that says "Don't forget the pancakes on jif lemon day".
