Pancakes!

Pancake sized snip

There is so much win in this thread.

Now, *throws hat into ring* PANCAKES ARE THE GOD OF CAKES. No colonial tripe can measure up to their godliness.

I did so many Flip[sup]TM[/sup] today that I think I need to call in sick tomorrow.

[sub]Also, soccer is football, chips are crisps and fries are chips.[/sub]

Rainbow pancakes are best pancakes, no matter what you say.

You know that 'great evil' I was on about?

Yeah, that abomination pretty much sums up what it is.

You do not know good pancakes, then, if you have not eaten a rainbow pancake.

YES!!! ANOTHER DAYSTAR CLARION THREAD! And on the day of the food Gods, no less.

 

[The Night Angel]

Wow, you have once again made my day, I was hoping for another of your food topics
Just ate a bunch of them today, am absolutely full. And I ate the true pancakes too, not those 'things'(same tone one uses to discuss something that came out the wrong end of an animal)

 

[Staskala]

I'm no pancake expert, but what makes British pancakes special compared to other European variants?
In my book Czech palacinka are the absolute best, but then again, my pancake knowledge is restricted to 4 countries plus a few regional variants.
Oh yeah, since this thread is already about sweets, today is Faschingsdienstag, so it's time for

Spoiler: Fasnetsküchle!

And no, I can't possible by arsed to translate either of those words, so just look it up on wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabian-Alemannic-Fastnacht].

Unfortunately this thread put me in the mood for crumpets, not pancakes. I have no idea why. It sucks though, because you cant get crumpets anywhere in Germany.

If I could ship you crumpets, good sir, I would.


I can't wait for my mom to get home and make pancakes for pancake tuesday!

I had them South African Style (Apple sauce and Cinnamon sugar), Canada style(Maple syrup) and Root style(Golden Syrup).

Pondering on whether you can make a pancake burrito?

But Daystar, you onmipotent monarch, you... There is no mention of a Pancake Race in your latest edition of recolonisation preperations British Food-stuffs!

Every year on this day of days, the citizens of my hometown line the streets and watch multiple contestants running down the highstreet, trusty pans in hand, performing The Flip[sup]TM[/sup] as many times as they can on their flattest of flat treats... All competing for the acclaimed Golden Fryingpan...

Above:-As you can see, we get all the best weather in February-March time!
Below:-Mid-The Flip[sup]TM[/sup]. This man cannot contain his excitement, and screams at his flat-treat!

Top:- The junior race... This selection of young males
with their token Ginger didn't realise they had all
gone out wearing the same...

Bottom:- This man stands still and throws his pancake
forward as the elderly members of the crowd sprint by
in a blur... I think they call it The Reversal Race, and
is the main cause of hip displacement to our OAP's!!​

Every now and then, I enter a thread and realize that I am ENTIRELY out of my league.

This is one of those times.

I've had the colonial version... I was unimpressed. NOTHING beats a plate of nice pancakes left out for 2-3 hours so the sugar has time to crystallize with rose or plum jam. Delicious rolls of half crunchy half soft heaven.

Also there is no greater abomination than chocolate spread in pancakes.

 

[Yopaz]

This thread makes me hungry. Waffles, crumpets, pancakes. I could do with any of those.

I see your assertion of dominance and would like to propose a counter.

Yes Colonial pancakes are easier to make, however that does not make them inferior. In fact that very ease makes the true art of making them that much harder to master. It is so easy to get complacent since no matter what the pancake is going to taste good. However there are a few out there, myself included, who strive to keep our skills sharp, who make batter from scratch, experimenting with different amounts of ingredients, making sure every single one is fluffy and golden brown.

In my grand library of american breakfast cuisine I have pancakes with sausage and maple baked right in, I have pancakes that are thin and crispy, I have pancakes that taste like soft fluffy biscuits! Every kind either passed down from my grandmother or of my own design. I resent your statement that my pancakes are inferior and will raise my spatula proudly in defense of the Colonial pancake!

How DARE you, sir! They are pronounced Scones!![footnote]I haven't actually put a pronounciation of this word to avoid the invariable infighting amongst the British that would follow.[sub]But remember, they are not Scone until you have eaten it...![/sub][/footnote] And as such should only be eaten with Jam and Clotted Cream.[footnote]Again, to avoid infighting I deliberatly haven't refered to a particular order in which to apply these toppings... any which way is fine...[sub] As long as the cream is first![/sub][/footnote]

If you want to see biscuits then I refer you to Daystars Biscuit thread...

Otherwise please refrain from mixing meat with sweet sauces (seriously... you do that!? :S I mean theres pork and apple sauce, which is fine, but sausages and maple syrup...), and calling something larger than 1mm thick a pancake! It is the bidding of the food god!

Forgive me if I don't rush to try something suggested by someone with 'troll' in their username

Awesome, we should do a collaboration or something.

and a fanny isn't at the back haha.

I once saw a skiing accessory called a 'Fanny Flap'. It is used to sit on so you don't get a wet arse.[footnote]Yes... Got another one in there!! [/footnote]

Something we both get wrong, however, is Manoeuvre/Maneuver... Both of those spellings really should be dropped!

Sir, I would be honoured! I am currently working for and with the US/Canadians/Aussies, and I am constantly teaching them about our ways! It's amazing some of the stuff that we see all the time that they simply just don't have!

It saddens me that these places are not as civilised as our beloved homeland.

We must do our best to help those poor people.

It is a most unfortunate of situations! I shall devote myself to the cause lest they do themselves further damage... they can be saved!

 

[him over there]

I don't care if they are not real pancakes they are vastly superior to your pancakes. Especially with real Canadian maple syrup or sugar.
