Drunken Monkey Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 well, this kinda started in another thread but i think it's best if i shift it so as to not ruin that thread. ok, pancakes. anyone got a good recipe for them pancakes you guys have for breakfast over there in the states? y'know, the thick ones... here in uk we only really make the thin crepes style pancakes and sometimes i get craving for a but fat pancake drenched in maple... cheers. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Martial_Artist Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 My wife makes the best pancakes I have ever tasted. Here's the recipe: Heat griddle slowly while mixing batter. Beat well 1 egg. Beat in 1 & 1/4 cup milk Then beat in 1 & 1/4 cup sifted flour 1 tsp. sugar 2 tbsp. soft shortening 1 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt. Then for some homemade quick maple syrup try this: Put 2 cups sugar in 1 cup water. Bring to boil. Add 1 tbsp. maple extract. Turn of heat. Continue to stir. Pour over butter covered pancakes. Mmmm.

Drunken Monkey Posted September 3, 2003 Author Posted September 3, 2003 well, i got a good friend who brings me back a healthy supple of the tree juice so i'm ok on that front. sometimes i just add a spoon of good vanilla ice cream and pour a whole load of baileys on top. hot pancakes and ice cream is too good... but thanks and keep them coming! oh just noticed, what's "soft shortening" and how much is a cup (in grams or ounces please)? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Bart the Lover Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 What is a griddle? Is it like a big frying pan? Drunken Monkey wrote:sometimes i...pour a whole load of baileys on top. Don't they go all soggy?! That reminds me...(adopts Homer voice) Mmmm...paaancakes
Tombstone Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 I'm a waffle kind of person. Cooking thems alot easier too. Out of the box, into the toaster.
Martial_Artist Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 A griddle is a flat pan. But you can use a non-stick pan instead. Soft shortening is like fake lard. It's white and soft. Crisco makes it over here. Butter is a good substitute according to a US/UK baking conversions website. As for cups>oz. 1 Cups (US, liquid) equals 8.32674 Ounces (British, fluid) 1 Cups (US, liquid) equals 0.416349 Pints (British) A cup doesn't convert to grams on the program I was using. Hope this helps. "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Einstein
