Short on condiments to flavour your pancakes? GOODFebruary 24, 2009By Rambojazdude
"This recipe (when followed properly) creates delicious pancakes! A word of advice for those not too familiar with creating a Yorkshire pudding like mix. - When adding milk to the dough-like mixture, ensure you add small amounts, stir in between and then check the consistency. If you over do it with the milk you can't go back. Once you get the hang of making the mix to your desired consistency go ahead and add your own ""splash"" measure of milk straight away. You need to make the mix thin enough to allow you to tilt the pan and distribute the mix to the desired diameter. I advise you, if unsure, to do a test pancake while the mix is roughly adequate and then add milk for the following batches if it is still too thick. Now your bored to hell I’ll continue to sing the praises this recipe deserves. I made this recipe with two small eggs instead of one big egg, this gave it a slight eggy taste which I found surprisingly tasty (As I avoid omelettes like the plague). The pancakes are just sweet enough to avoid being sickly when over consumed =D avoid being bland in taste. Moreover, the pancakes use the baking powder to gain a slight rising effect and a fluffy end result. This, paired with a crispy surface (when cooked on a high heat) creates mouth-watering self sufficient Shrove Tuesday English crepes!!! Top notch nosh! Cheers About.com! Regards Jeremy"
