Pancakes!

Today I made pancakes for breakfast! Golden brown, fluffy, butter soaked and covered in syrup.

It's been at least 8 and perhaps 10 years since I last made myself pancakes. I have no idea why it's taken so long. But this morning I awoke and headed straight to the grocery store; returning with butter, syrup, pancake (pannenkoek) mix, and eggs. The eggs I normally buy. The rest was bought for today's breakfast extravaganza.

Next week I think I'll do this again. The butter won't be touched for any other reason until then. And I have the syrup now. I'll try adding some fruit. Cooked in, Dutch style, rather than just on top.

In the mean time, here's a video on pancakes. My favourite independant pancake documentary, to be precise.

100th...congrats.

About those pancakes; I'm ashamed to say I use frozen. No I'm not. They are delicious done in the micro and I've enjoyed them even before you have mixed the batter.

You get "A" for cooking......J.D.

I have never had lemon on my pancakes. I think I'll leave it that way.

Great 100th post, and a warm welcome to your momma!

Hi there ! Sorry for not reacting for such a long time, but here I am again !! Pancakes are great, I often make them for dinner, with raisins or cheese, yummie. But my latest culinary hobby is a breadmaking machine !! As we speak I'm baking, and yesterday I made a bread with sundried tomatoes, garlic and cheese in it. Delicious !!!

J.D., don't be ridiculous. I had ten years of pent up pancake making inside me. I had the batter whipped smooth before you could have gotten the vacuum wrapping off the frozen ones. :-)

Minka, did you know J.D. has her blog now because of the Blog Tag that originally came from you?

Let me know a time on Saturday and we can simultaneously cook pancakes. :-)

Quilly, the phrase "that's how it's eaten in Britian" is never a good reason to put something in your mouth. I do want to try the Nutela though.

Irene, welcome back. I left my posts up so you could catch up. So do you make ham and cheese pancakes? I like the fruit cooked in, but I'm not sold on meat and cheese in a pancake yet.
