The sweet and sharp mix beautifully

[@paulharvey9149]

Pancake Day is otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday. The idea is to use up your remaining eggs and sugar, before you give them up for Lent, starting on Ash Wednesday - the very next day. Traditionally we squeeze lemon juice and sprinkle sugar over them. Pancakes are usually considered a sweet kind of bread in the UK, whereas bacon and sausages are savoury, hence we tend not to mix them. Keep on sucking, JT!

[@SteveODonnell]

Mardi Gras also falls on Shrove Tuesday. When translated means fat Tuesday. Marking the last carnival day before Ash Wednesday.

[@user-yq8pr3qj9m]

The pancake should be eaten HOT from the pan, (or kept warm in the oven if making a batch), and then sprinkled with sugar and fresh lemon juice squeezed over (or use 'Jif' lemon juice, which comes in a plastic lemon-shaped bottle). Or, for a change, you can make an Orange sauce, like my wife does sometimes: Orange juice heated in a pan, sugar added to your taste, with cornflour added to thicken it - keep stirring until you get a creamy consistency and then pour/spoon over the sugared pancake, either before or after it has been rolled. Yummy! 😋 P.S. It often helps to make the batter and then put it in the fridge for about an hour. The frying pan should be 'smoking hot', before adding the pancake mix, and either use butter like you did, or you can pour a little oil onto kitchen paper and wipe this round the pan.

If you've ever heard of 'Shrove Tuesday'... that's 'Pancake Tuesday.' + Heat your pans fully before putting something in, you want it sizzling instantly as soon as it hits the pan. Would also help when you're rubbing the butter on the pan if the pan's hot enough to actually melt some butter off.

[@MORTEMANIMAyt]

A good way to test that a pan is heated is to put a drop of water in and see if the water droplets dance about

[@ChrisChedgzoy]

In the UK there used to be a TV advert. "Dont forget the pancakes on Jiff Lemon day". (jiff is a brand of lemon juice in a bottle) You have to use generous amounts of both sugar and lemon for the perfect pancake. Rolled and piping hot.

You definitely need sugar and lemon juice to get the full experience 🇬🇧👍👍

[@jennetscarborough5145]

My pancake recipe is the same as my Yorkshire Pud recipe. Equal amounts by volume of flour, eggs, milk, and optional pinch of salt. Whisk together the eggs and flour until all lumps are gone, then whisk in the milk. Ideally, leave to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using. While I do occasionally enjoy the traditional sugar, lemon, cinnamon option, I would definitely recommend trying it stuffed. For a savoury option like cheese, bacon, and mushroom or chicken and sweetcorn in a white sauce, lay a stripe of filling across each pancake, and roll into a tube around the filling, line the tubes up in an oven safe dish sprinkle with grated cheese and bake until warmed through. For a sweet option, spread Nutella on the pancake, followed by sliced banana, and either roll up into tubes, or fold in half, and then in half again to create a triangular pocket full of delicious.

That UK recipe was super complicated. The one I've always used is really easy: 1 (UK) cup of flour, 1 pinch of salt, 1 egg, and 1 cup of milk. Beat with electric beater for 1 minute. Rest for half an hour in the fridge before making the pancakes in the pan.

[@fredkay6743]

Don't even need to measure, just go by the look of it. Should use at least 2 or 3 eggs though, otherwise what's the point.

[@iambueno]

And if you want to make "American" style, separate the egg whites and whisk separately until stiff peaks, mix your other ingredients (yolk, flour, salt, milk) and then fold in the egg whites. The batter will be super light but not runny like crepe mix.

[@andrewpinks3678]

When I cook pancakes, as soon as you have poured the 2nd pancake batter into the pan you give the hot 1st pancake a good dredge of sugar and then make sure that you add lemon juice to the sugar so no dry sugar remains and then roll up straight away and keep warm (maybe a plate over a pan of simmering water). Pancakes must be eaten hot (at least warm). The really big difference between English pancakes and US pancakes is the use of a leavening agent, eg bicarbonate of soda (scotch pancakes, also called drop scones, have a leavening). The leavening gives the pancakes a tangy taste on the lips and at the back of the throat. The fluffier the pancake the likelihood of more tang.

Pancake Day is the day before Lent (Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday). It is a Christian tradition; a feast day before the start of Lent. We don't eat only pancakes on that occasion, but we would make and eat a few pancakes after dinner. We are talking maybe 2-3 each, not a plateful. Other than that, we don't normally eat pancakes. Note to Americans, if you eat pancakes only once a year, they become more of a treat.

[@chixma7011]

You were a bit mean with the sugar. For that size pancake use about a dessert spoon of granulated sugar spread all over the pancake for a bit of crunch. Bear in mind that once you’ve squirted lemon juice over them as well some of the sugar will dissolve. You will not enjoy a mouthful of sharp lemon juice without something sweet to offset it. You might need a couple of goes to get the balance right for your taste buds. Always roll them up to serve and eat with a knife and fork. Good first attempt though, guys. 👏👏 That book of Delia’s went into every University student’s bags when it first came out. She’s brilliant at straightforward British cooking.

Then comes the best part, add slices of banana or apple. When the edges are going brown flip over but not for to long. We generally use sugar/honey/lemon/nutella and sometimes peanut butter on top.

We have shake up bottles too, but we don't need to measure the water as such, we just fill it up to the line on the bottle. UK Pancakes should always be eaten hot, and definitely flipped, and served as a dessert not breakfast. Delia (Dee, Lee, er) over complicated the recipe too. but failed to mention you should coat the pan with oil and wait until the oil is red hot, tip out excess oil for the next one, and quickly add your batter. In our house we tip from the pan on to a plate of sugar (granulated), to coat one side, thinly spread butter on the otherside. we all like different fillings, either, as is or a sprinkle of lemon juice, or Nutella, or Strawberry Jam (Jelly, Preserve) and roll and transfer it to another plate to be eated immediately. It is also good to add a scoop of icecream too.

[@Satankat666]

I've never known anyone not to flip pancakes. Including in France, though to be fair when I had pancakes there we were at a hotel as a school group. Growing up my mum would make 2/3 types of pancakes. There was the big pancakes, which would be the crepe type ones. We would have sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice on and be rolled. There there were small pancakes, which were thicker but smaller (maybe a few inches across)and generally had jam on them. With the small pancakes there was also the possiblility of mixing in banana into the mix to make banana pancakes. I was basically taught the difference between the mix for big pancakes, small pancakes and yorkshire pudding was the amount of milk added, other than that they were all just flour, egg and milk. Oh, also I've had pancakes as a dessert in a thai restaurant where it was a pancake wrapped around scoops of ice cream with various fruits on top I think (it has been a while since I had it).

I like both, but I call the American style pancakes by their proper name. Scotch pankakes scotch pancakes, drop scones, griddle cakes, America pancakes, whatever people call them they're actually British and became a staple in America after Eisenhower stole the recipe from the Queen 😉...... In 1959, Queen Elizabeth II treated then-President Dwight Eisenhower and his wife Mamie to her drop scones, a sweet also known as scotch pancakes, during their stay at Balmoral. The first couple were such fans of the griddle cakes that the Queen sent them her personal recipe, following their return to the States.

I remember school sports days had pancake toss races for the parents.

[@Kazza_8240]

That sounds like an urban legend lol....the pancake wouldn't cook if she was running outside with it, the pan woukd cool down.....or am I just really overthinking a joke? 😅

[@helenwood8482]

Nobody here eats pancakes for breakfast. They are a tea time treat. They are not dupposed to bd crispy. They are not supposed to be crepes!

[@Andreaod73]

I have them for breakfast occasionally with slices of banana and strawberry

[@beyondtime88]

If I'm going for a quick pancake I will do crepes. My basic go to has been (yes im british) 1/2 pint milk (half fat or full fat) 4oz plain flour and two eggs (med or large). Mix the milk and eggs first in a jug then add the flour (I do it all in 1 jug so I can also pour it from that) a hand blender is best to avoid lumps. Let sit for atleast 10mins then stir again before pouring it in the saucepan (I get 4 good size crepes from that amount, or do a ladle of batter). I also use a tablespoon of olive oil instead of butter in the pan (butter can burn easier) over med/low heat and yes flip when the top starts to look nearly set, or do the shake test as when its cooked enough to flip it'll loosen from the pan but it only needs a little time on 2nd side. And absolutely lemon juice (plenty) and a good teaspoon of white sugar is classic.

[@woutersplinter4981]

Bacon and pancakes works really well! When I make (Dutch) pancakes, I always add bacon and slices of cheese right after putting the batter in the pan. It's amazing, especially with Dutch syrup. Perfect combination of savory and sweet ❤

[@jimblonduk]

Toss it with that much butter in the pan and you'll have buttered walls and ceiling. Tilt or shake the pan to spread the batter to get it thinner. Should have waited till you have a lemon to squeeze.

[@carolbrookes5748]

Toppings for UK pancakes - sugar and butter, sugar and fresh lemon juice, sugar and fresh orange juice, strawberry jam or your favourite jam, Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup, ice-cream and cherries, etc. Also UK pancakes are always cooked in butter, served hot and are generally rolled - filling spread on one side of the pancake, then rolled up

[@MrSkyblue1972]

In the 🇬🇧 we have American style pancakes which are called Drop Scones (Another name is Scotch Pancakes)they are cooked on a metal griddle and usually eaten cold with butter and you can add a jam of your choice (Americans call it Jelly)❤🎉🥳

Scotch pancakes vs English pancakes.

Incomplete English pancakes 😂. No lemon used with the sugar.

I always used to think that Pancake Day was exactly 40 days before Easter, but apparently it's 40 days EXCLUDING the Sundays! (So, that's actually 46 days in all!)

[@elisabethpedersen7893]

Here in Norway we have bacon bits in the batter. We make them thin (sort of) and we fill the whole pan with the batter. When they are done we sprinkle sugar on them (a lot more sugar then what you guy's used) and then we roll them and eat them with knife and fork.And we have soup on the side.Usually something called kjøttsuppe or ertesuppe. Meat soup/pea soup. Love from Norway ♥🇧🇻

[@helenwood8482]

Pancake Day is at the start of Lent. Shrove Tuesdsy. Flapjacks are a different thing, made of oats and honey.

You should try the pancsakes hot. Even the American coaster-like pancakes would be nicer hot.

As kids…we had them with sugar and lemon fresh squeezed…or sugar and orange squeezed…or sometimes with jam spread over😊

JT, as a fellow Kentuckian, THAT is NOT maple syrup. It is just pure corn syrup. Maple syrup is expensive. It’s at least $6.00 per 8 ounces, whereas Mrs. Butterworth’s is $4.00 for 3 times as much. There’s also a big difference in the taste. You usually have to pay a premium for quality. Good job on the fluffy pancakes though. 👍

[@fionanoble8609]

They are English pancakes which are not eaten/served UK wide. In Scotland we serve ones that are similar to the US version.

[@markchappell3063]

Pancakes can be used for sweet or savoury dishes as its the same mix (and pretty much the same mix as Yorkshire puddings) so we make a lot of batter (and it can be refrigerated). We have pancakes with stew / mince meat and onions as well as dessert (sugar and lemon is my favourite as well as Nutella and Biscoff spread). They have to be cooked until brown to ensure they are crispy (hot pan with butter to start is a must) and eaten hot! oh and the correct pronunciation is De-Lee-Ah lol

[@ChorltonandtheWheelies]

@markchappell3063. I am in my fifth decade and I have *never* heard of having a pancake with stew?! I thought you were going to say the mix could maybe make dumplings which of course goes with stew but pancakes?? I can't be the only one who has never heard of this? 😊 ✌

[@markchappell3063]

Hi. From 1999 to 2004 I worked for my employer in Amsterdam. Pancake restaurants exist everywhere. Pannenkoeken, in Dutch, are more like crepes than the usual US version. The flavours/fillings offered are either savoury or sweet. The savoury ones cover the whole gambit from curries to meats and pastes. The sweet again follow the range with plenty of sugar and fruits etc. on the street they sell Poffertjes. A mini pancake about the size and shape of a golf ball. Always sold hot and generally with hot butter and powdered sugar. You buy them in a small tray of approx. half a dozen with a cocktail stick to eat them with. They are marvellous. The most famous pancake house in Amsterdam is on an old and restored carousel.

[@roddavis2876]

We bought a poffertjes pan when over in Netherlands in the 80's, made about 24 at a time, bit time consuming tho. Well worth the wait.

North England we put lemon and golden syrup on our pancakes. New version for my kids adds banana, strawberry’s and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Delicious.

[@jimjams20001]

Il existe une recette de crêpes anglaises très simple. Prenez une tasse, remplissez-la de farine et videz-la dans un bol, utilisez la même tasse et remplissez-la de lait et videz-la dans le bol, cassez 1 ou 2 œufs dans le bol, ajoutez du sel et mélangez bien.

[@janetburrows137]

Guys UK pancakes are great. My family made then on Shrove Tuesday. The day before Ash Wednesday. In our family you put a ladle full drop it into the middle of the pan, then roll the pan around too spread the mix. We also sprinkle Nutmeg on. Cook one side, then flip it. When it’s done sprinkle sugar and squeeze lemon 🍋 on it. That’s it. ❤️💕❤️💕

[@christinerees50]

My son was born on shrove Tuesday 'pancake day ' ..the British pancakes need lemon juice ..but saying that you can use any filling you like ..Nutella ...American pancakes are more like large pikelets which is a different thicker batter recipe

[@steveo4991]

Best thing about the UK ones is once you get your own ingredients/fillings of choice on there, you can roll it up like a wrap/burrito.

[@twigletz7384]

I'm half Scottish with many Scots relatives and family friends (although born in England). I have fond memories of visiting my Aunty Madge who made Scottish pancakes - known as Drop Scones. They were never ever served with maple syrup! The only similarity to American pancakes were that they were thick, but they were also small - the size of a biscuit and served with butter and jam.

[@101steel4]

Crepe is just the French word for pancake😉

[@JazHaz]

Not. In England crepes are pronounced as craps as in they are shit. Not the same as British pancakes.

[@jaysmith2858]

​@@JazHazCrepes are pronounced as crepes in England. You're definitely not English or even British.

Pancake day is Shrove Tuesday. _The date varies from year to year and falls between February 3 and March 9. The specific custom of British Christians eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday dates back to the 16th century, and it involves Christians repenting of their sins in preparation to begin the season of Lent in the Christian liturgical calendar_

In Spanish, MARDI GRAS (Fat Tuesday)

Guys if your doing our England pancakes you definitely need to eat them hot. Also you definitely need lemon juice with the sugar. If you want to get fancy, cook your pancake and spread a thin layer of chocolate spread or slice some thin strawberries and wrap.🤙

Nutella & banana

[@ruthb7605]

I always flip pancakes. Make sure your pan is really hot before you pour the batter in, flip once so both sides are nice and crisp, have what ever topping you are using close at hand, serve and eat while piping hot. (if you have to pop them in a warm oven while you make the rest, but straight from the pan to plate to mouth is best).
