Ingredients:
- 225g / 8 oz plain flour or all-purpose flour/ 2 cups
- Pinch salt
- 2 large, fresh eggs
- 600ml / 2½ cups/ milk
- 2 tsp melted butter plus melted butter for cooking
Preparation:
Makes 12 pancakes
- Sieve the flour into a large baking bowl,add the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs and beat well until smooth and lump free.
- Add half the milk and the 2 tsp of butter, beat well. Add the remaining milk and stir.
- Leave the batter to rest for 15 minutes.
- Lightly grease a pancake pan or frying pan with a little melted butter, heat until very hot and add a ladle of batter to evenly and thinly coat the base of the pan. Cook until set and lightly golden. Flip over (if you are really brave try tossing the pancake in the air, great fun) and cook on the other side for approx 30 seconds.
- Remove the pancake from the pan, place on a sheet of kitchen paper and keep warm. Continue as above until all the batter is used up.
To Serve
On Pancake Day, pancakes are traditionally eaten sprinkled with sugar and a squeeze of lemon. However, serve as you like with jam, Golden Syrup, honey, chocolate spread; whatever takes your fancy.

I’m very much a LAPSED Catholic, but I do make yummy pancakes! none for me today as I just used my last eggs making chocolate cake with old fashioned marshmallow-y boiled icing.
When I worked as a nanny for one family, every Thursday was ‘pancakes for lunch’ day. The girls would often bring home friends who enjoyed the syrupy goodness too.
I made them with about 6-8 eggs to make sure they at least had that protein in them with all the sweet. they turned out much like crepes as I thinned the batter out quite a bit too.
I’d have to make double or triple batches for freezing the extras. the girls’ dad used a mix to make their weekend pancakes and they hated that. luckily, he didn’t take offense and would microwave pancakes instead of make them.

Great story, Kathy!

Totally forgot about Ash Wed. We like to have pancakes for dinner here too. Once upon a time my MIL’s relatives were here from Italy and made very thin pancakes with lemon. They were so fabulous I can still taste them. Of course everything they made was. I took them to pizza hut for my contribution.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:29 am.
Thanks for the recipe. My Mom also does not eat pancakes for breakfast, at all! Bob Evans used to make the best cinnamon pancakes, but just recently took them off the menu.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:35 am.
Not much of a pancake fan. DH makes them when the grandkids spend a weekend. He uses a pre-mixed batter that you just pour onto the griddle.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:37 am.
never did pancakes for like that (pre-lent), rather the Tues before Ash Wed was more the day to pig out and binge on choc/candy/sweets before giving it up 6 weeks when I was young. of course, there were the usual arguments as to wether you were allowed to indulge on Sundays & to what extent & just when did lent end & you could ‘legally’ savor that candy bar again
traditions — always a fun thing 
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:37 am.
Thanks for the recipe, we always make pancakes on Pancake Day, though it wasn’t something my husband did growing up, I brought the idea to him via my British heritage.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:37 am.
Often times I think I belong across the pond. This makes me believe it even more! These sound wonderful, and I can’t wait to try them. The time of day doesn’t matter. I like a good breakfast for dinner sometimes!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:38 am.
Thanks for the recipe! My mom used to make us a “big pancake” as we called it, for dinner many times. It was big and fluffy and took up the whole pan, like the one above. I was always amazed at how she flipped it. I love any kind of pancakes and during Lent I usually make potato pancakes on Friday’s.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:39 am.
Oh yum love pancakes. I’m trying to eat less meat but still get plenty of protein so I eat pancakes in the morning smeared with peanut butter and plenty of syrup. Sounds weird but it’s really good and really filling.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:43 am.
Not only do I now want pancakes (with chocolate chips), but I’m thinking I could make them from scratch. Thanks for the recipe.

Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:43 am.
Looks awesome. How does it reheat? I made pancakes last night and left them in the fridge for the rest of the gang to reheat this morning. What? They all get up so early to head off to work. I mean, the coffee maker doesn’t even go off that early
Happy Shrove Tuesday, errbody!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:48 am.
You may be late, but I’ve just found my dinner recipe! Breakfast for dinner….the only problem is no left-overs to pack in people’s lunches tomorrow. But I have more hours to figure that one out!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:49 am.
Wow. Those look really yummy!
I’m a lucky girl; every Saturday, my hubby makes crepes for breakfast. Mmmm… So yummy! He’s got the recipe perfected.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:50 am.
I prefer French toast. I’m lazy.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:52 am.
Wow! Love the recipe. I like trying new recipes. I learned to make pancakes from the ladies at church. We hold semiannual pancake/buckwheat cake breakfasts to raise money for missions. My mother was a wonderful cook and baker but could not make edible pancakes but she made great waffles from scratch. Go figure!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:55 am.
That is a big change from the way it usually works!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:41 pm.
Yum and I just finished breakfast. They seem like a lovely dessert!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:57 am.
I’m not from a catholic region, so fat tuesday isn’t important for me. But I am on business in a catholic region, and here Krapfen (Pfannkuchen/ Berliner are the words used in other German regions) are popular.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:59 am.
Gee, lent already? Time flies when I am in my wriing cave.
Are these okay with non-sweet fillings, like crepes are? They sound yummy with anything.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:00 pm.
That recipe looks very good I will have to try it. I like crepes and I love dutch babies; not so much on regular pancakes though. When my sister makes pumpkin pancakes I am all over that one, especially when we have cinnamon butter and powdered sugar instead of syrup.
We are going to have to gear up for the whole Easter thing now that Lent is upon us. My son lived in NOLA for a few years and he loved Mardi Gras because he actually got to ride in the parade a couple of times. He wore the suede pirate captain’s coat I made him.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:00 pm.
I had to have mine yesterday as I’m not at home tonight. And being British, of course I made the crepe-esque pancakes. Which get smothered in brown sugar.
So bad but so so good!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:00 pm.
My first experience with crepes was many, many years ago in NYC when creperies were popular. Their Pecan Praline crepes were to die for.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:06 pm.
We definitely have pancakes for breakfast on occasion, but we also occasionally have breakfast for supper. We usually have bacon or sausage with them too.
That recipe sounds really good–I’ll have to give it a try. We usually take the lazy way and get the complete mix and just add water. haha
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:01 pm.
These pancakes are my Step-Dad’s FAVORITE! He inhales them. We are indeed celebrating Fat Tuesday here–by going out for dinner with friends. Pretty quite compared to some.
Have a good one.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:05 pm.
Great recipe. I can’t wait to try it. My big treat is blueberry pancakes with the compote like they do at IHOP. It probably has about six million calories after they add the whipped cream, but so delicious.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:05 pm.
I love those pancakes. Thanks for the recipe, I look forward to actually making them. I’ve only had them out in restaurants. I’ve had them like CR likes them and they are divine!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:05 pm.
Actually, the only thing Mardi Gras-ish that I had was some King Cake. That’s good stuff, too.
Some people that work in Beaumont, TX (right near the TX/LA border sent us one from a bakery in LA. Good stuff!! 
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:07 pm.
Ooooo, those sound delicious! I bet they’d be really tasty with some fresh strawberries.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:09 pm.
We have a similar recipe for Scotch pancakes and we use golden syrup on them. Don’t do carbs as much anymore so haven’t made them in many years. Delicious though!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:13 pm.
Fat Tuesday holds NO calories – I will be eating Waffles, Fried Bread, Puffs – the sugar fix of everything before Lent, when traditionally the nuns would tell kids to abstain for 40 days of the delicious confection and somehow that is the normal go to – no sugar or sweets, uggh… the guilt when you get that wonderful box of chocolates, they can’t wait 40 days, they must and need to be savored. I will not be giving up sugar this Lent, but I will be enjoying a candy store of food today
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:14 pm.
I remember eating pancakes for supper when I was little! Yum!!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:15 pm.
…and now I want pancakes-lol. I love the puffy ones from IHOP and I love the substantial wheat/oat ones, too. Who am I kidding, I love pancakes of every shape and size!!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:16 pm.
Thanks for the recipe. Wonderful books.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:17 pm.
Pancakes are soothing and lovely. I enjoy your captivating novels.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:18 pm.
Pancakes are one of those food I never make at home. I only order them when out. DH will not eat what he considers “breakfast food” for dinner but these sound really yummy.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:21 pm.
I was unaware of pancake day, but I may have to celebrate it because that recipe seems tasty. If not today then a bit later this week
. Thanks for the tasty heads-up.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:21 pm.
Yum. When DH and I were in Norway last year – at one of the hotels we stayed at there was a mid afternoon/early evening snack available and it was always pancakes. Thanks for the recipe.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:25 pm.
Ooh, pancakes of any kind… I used to get the apple crepes once upon a time in restaurants, but I tend to go with regular ones with regular syrup instead, since I just do not have them often. And… now I’m even more hungry than I was before, darn it.

Ooh, thanks for the recipe — I’ve never tried making pancakes like this, so we’ll see what happens, LOL!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:30 pm.
Thank you for the recipe, I will have to try these. I am in love with crepes but I cannot make them to save my life! Maybe these could be my fix!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:31 pm.
I make a German pancake that sounds similar regarding ingredients, but you put it in the oven and bake. If you have the proper pan, the sides rise up so the pancake is bowl shaped. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon juice and eat!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:33 pm.
You started my day perfectly. Pancakes are a treat. Much happiness and success.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:35 pm.
I’ve never heard of Pancake Day but if I mentioned it to my husband, he would definitely be in favor of celebrating it!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:39 pm.
Will try recipe ASAP. Looks and sounds great!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:40 pm.
I love pancakes but they are usually too much trouble to make for every day kind of breakfasts. I’m going to have to try these though, they sound super easy, quick, and delicious. Thanks!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:41 pm.
I like skinny pancakes, so I might try this. Sounds good!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:42 pm.
This recipe looks so much better than the box mix that you just add water to! Pancakes are not my specialty – I am better with French toast – but I will try this! Thanks!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:43 pm.
I love pancake and I can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner LOL
Thank for the great contest
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:45 pm.
Whoo Hoo!!!! More recipes to try on my family. I so love to torture them. Then never know what I am going to cook…LOL
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:45 pm.
I forgot it was pancake Tuesday! I will be in trouble with my kids because they will be expecting pancakes tonight and I don’t have the stuff to make them. I would run out and get it, but we are having another crappy weather day, so I guess I will have to put it off until tomorrow. Maybe I will surprise them and make these yummy crepes instead. Thanks for the recipe!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:46 pm.
Thanks for the recipe, I may have to give it a try!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:50 pm.
Hmmm have never had the pinch of lemon something to think about. On Shoves Tuesday my mother would always make donuts not sure why – but she stop doing that a while ago so now I usually buy donuts for the office. Plan on what I will give up for Lent – which I will not stick to longer than a day or two. My father use to give up banana’s for Lent – he was not Catholic and he also didn’t like bananas so I am not sure he ever go the idea.
Think I will see if the family wants to go to the local diner for pancakes tonight…..love breakfast for dinner.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 12:55 pm.
I’ve heard of donuts for Shrove Tuesday–goes along with the fats and sweets that are to be given up for the duration.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:44 pm.
Thanks for the recipe. Sounds delicious!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:00 pm.
I love pancakes but have never heard of making them this way. Thanks for sharing.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:00 pm.
We love pancake day here, pancakes are on the menu here for pudding. My boys love them with ice cream, I love them with sugar and lemon juice. We have pancakes at other times as a pudding too. I also do them with svoury fillings too. Very Yummy!
Happy Pancake Day everyone
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:00 pm.
eant to say this recipe is so easy to make and the trick is not to put too much batter into the frying pan when you cook it so they aren’t too thick, just enough batter to cover the bottom of the frying pan. Happy cooking everyone
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:02 pm.
I think I gained a pound just reading the recipe! And yet, totally worth it. *g* Happy Mardi Gras, everyone!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:05 pm.
Oh yeah. This recipe will have to be tried soon….
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:07 pm.
This pancake recipe will definitely have to be tried.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:13 pm.
I actually am about to have pancakes. Deeeeeelicious pancakes with apple jam. Only tomorrow rather than today. For tomorrow is the beginning of Lent and hence a strictly meatless day for me.
Am a practicing Catholic and though not exemplary in my observance of dietary prohibitions throughout pre-Christmas ad pre-Easter Lent, always do manage to avoid meat on the minimum requisite days (first and last day of each Lent plus every Friday throughout both Lent periods). Though heaven knows what it takes for am a carnivore through and through. It being such an effort, abstaining from meat just about sums up the Lent heroics I’m capable of. Going without sweets would be way too my poor weak self
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:15 pm.
this sounds delish!! when I was small, my grandmother would make these ‘donuts’ that were kind of an unfilled jelly donut….lighter than air and absolutely yummy!! powdered sugar on top was all you needed.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:17 pm.
I cant wait to try this for our pancakes today. Yummmy. Thank you
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:19 pm.
Wow, that sounds delicious! I am not much of a cook, but your instructions were simple enough I’ll give it a try. My husband always teases me that my cooking is so good even the smoke alarm cheers me on
Thanks for the fun recipe and the opportunity to win some “delicious” books! 
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:22 pm.
I LOVE pancakes. We have an Original House of Pancakes here that serve Swedish Pancakes that look very much like yours! They are served with Lingonberry jam . They also have 49′ers pancakes that my husband always gets that are flat like that, too! YUM!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:36 pm.
Swedish pancakes are definitely very close to these. Enjoy!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 1:45 pm.

Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:26 pm.
Oh I love this recipe. Many times we’d have pancakes for dinner growing up and my youngest daughter loves waffles and pancakes whenever. She just asked if i had a good crepe recipe. What a surprise when I give her this one.
Thanks so much for sharing.

This year is the first I’ve heard of pancake day (but now I’ve heard it a lot). Around here we eat “semlor” on fat tuesday instead – it’s a pastry with marzipan/almond filling and whipped cream. Pancakes would be nice for supper though…
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:36 pm.
I’m currently living in Scotland so I arranged a Pancake Day for my students today. The pancakes were gone in minutes
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:37 pm.
the pancakes sound delicious! tonight i have brinner (breakfast for dinner) on the menu – i think i might make these instead of the normal pancakes
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:40 pm.
I soooo miss normal pancakes!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:42 pm.
Love love love buttermilk pancakes. I remember many times having breakfast for dinner when I was a kid. In fact, I had pancakes for dinner on Sunday. Good times.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:47 pm.
I can’t remember the last time I had pancakes but these sound wonderful!!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:48 pm.
We have pancakes for dinner sometimes. I am not awake enough in the mornings to cook, probably would burn down the house. I can’t image squeezing lemon juice on them however. Lemon belongs in my sweet tea, and maple syrup belongs only on pancakes in my opinion. lol
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:49 pm.
You recipe sounds like the one I got from my mom. But in our family, we call then Swedish Pancakes. I guess nearly every country has their own version of this treat. I love them spread with a homemade jam or jelly or syrup. They are so good and the hard part is learning to flip them over without breaking them!
Today is also a day for a Polish treat called pączki (pronounced punchki). Anywhere there is a large polish population, you’ll find these yummy treats sold in local bakeries. In Flint, MI where I’m from, they are so popular, if you plan on getting any, they have to be pre-ordered.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:55 pm.
Never heard of Pancake Tuesday but may have them tonight. It is also Lincoln’s Birthday!
Happy Fat Tuesday!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 2:57 pm.

I’m not a huge pancake eater, but these would be fantastic with powered sugar and fresh squeezed oranges. Yummy! Thanks for the receipe …
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:07 pm.
Ooh, new pancake recipe! We love pancakes – and waffles and crepes, too.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:23 pm.
Yum, pancakes. Now I want to go home tonight and fix those for supper and have a cup of coffee with them. Hmmm, wonder if I have any pancake mix in the cabinet….
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:26 pm.
I LOOOOOOVE pancakes! I know what I’m having for dinner now.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:39 pm.
Pancakes are my ultimate favorite breakfast food. Gotta try this recipe.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:39 pm.
I will have to try them but I can’t imagine having pancakes for dinner.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:40 pm.
Thank you for the recipe. My mom didn’t like pancakes but my dad and I did. Dad would make me blueberry pancakes which were delicious. Every once in a while I will have one in his memory. My mom had no problems with waffles though.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:44 pm.
Pancakes for breakfast or dinner it makes no difference to me. Throw in some bacon, hash browns and I am a happy girl.
When I was young, my mom used to make me crepes with cooked apples rolled inside or in a pinch she used apple sauce. A little cinnamon sugar or syrup on top….yum. These were also eaten whenever the urge struck to make them.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:44 pm.
Thank you for the recipe! My husband and I love to make pancakes from scratch.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 3:55 pm.
my house loves pancakes at any time of the day. even my daughter who has to have gluten free pancakes we have found some really great mixes for her and they love them you can do anything with them add chocolate chips berries fruit topping and they just eat them up maybe we will have tonight for dinner now that i am thinking about it.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:03 pm.
Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to have to try that. I love pancakes and crepes both so this sounds right up my cooking – and eating – alley.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:06 pm.
Pancakes on Fat Tuesday sounds right somehow. Think I’ll make some for a pre-work supper. (I work nights.)
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:14 pm.
Wow those sound awesome! My personal favorite is French Toast made with vanilla and cinnamon
Have a fantastic anniversary Goddesses =)

Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:44 pm.
Oh boy, I can hardly wait to try these pancakes! I’ve made German pancakes before, with powdered sugar and strawberries, but I like the idea of these flatter pancakes with lemon. Yum! And I adore valentine month, and valentine candy, and valentine flowers, and valentine stories…and valentine giveaways! Glad it’s the anniversary of the Goddesses’ Blog too.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:45 pm.
My mum always made us homemade pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. They were as light as a feather and we topped them with sugar and lemon juice – yummy!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:50 pm.
I do love pancakes and now I’m craving the saltier scallion pancakes.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 4:57 pm.
Seems healthier than eating a custard-filled Polish donut (which I ate two earlier, topped with chocolate glazed…that had already melted when I decided to eat them). Had to wake up early (for me) to get those donuts. Had to wait in line for them. But at least I got them.
Hmm, pancakes…
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 5:00 pm.

Posted on February 12, 2013 at 5:32 pm.
Barbara thank you so much for the recipe. I may just try it, though probably not tonight, as I love pancakes, thick or thin, and I think these would be fantastic spread with apricot preserves then rolled up and dusted with powdered sugar. I’d love to win the books and even more one of the big prizes as I could buy books for everyone in the family, DD, SIL, and oldest 3 granddaughters to read, and some to be read to the 2 year old granddaughter and the 2 month old grandson. As you can see, I believe in starting them on books when they’re very young. LOL!

Every Sunday is pancake day in my family and my almost-4-year-old daughter helps me make it from scratch. One of her favorite books is Pancakes, Pancakes by Eric Carle.
Thanks for the recipe and for the giveaway!

Mmm. Pancakes. I’ve always thought of them as such a homey thing. A morning with pancakes is one full of delightful smells and clattering dishes. Of course, pancake breakfast is never complete without its sides of bacon, sausage, ham, and scrambled eggs. Oh, and a tall glass of something sumptuous.
I find it interesting, and delightful, that there are so many different ways to make pancakes out there. I tried a German pancake a couple of weeks ago and found it absolutely delightful. It wasn’t as sweet as the classic pancake and therein lay its charm. It complemented the bacon and scrambled eggs that I had with it quite well.

I’m a fan of pancakes, personally I could eat them for every meal. My mother made them with chocolate syrup when I was growing up.

I love pancakes! In fact, I could go for some right now!

I love pancakes. I am currently hooked on these mini chocolate chip ones. Don’t get them very often.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 6:13 pm.
Pancakes. yummy. my favorite pancakes are chocolate with chocolate chips in them. sorry don’t have the recipe to that. Oh well. I wouldn’t mind going to a restaurant that makes them and have a lot of the chocolate gooeyness. yummy.

Love pancakes. Got terrific memories of them from childhood when I get them on special sundays. :0
Love your books too!

Happy Anniversary and thanks for the recipe! One of my guilty pleasures!

Sourdough pancakes are the favorite in our house! We set the starter out the night before and have the best pancakes the next. We love them morning, noon or night! Some days we put ice cream between two pancakes just for fun.

These pancakes sound yummy, I’m going to have to make them sometime during Lent!

Yesterday was pancake day for us but we don’t celebrate it here in this household. This is because two (or rather 5) of us aren’t Catholic and the other one is a lapsed Catholic. I, personally, do observe Good Friday by eating fish (which reminds me, we had better get some fish and chips) and Easter Sunday. I am hoping that I will be able to make it to Church this year on these two days instead of allowing circumstances to stop me once again.

I love pancakes! Thanks for the recipe.

We always had pancakes when we were children for Shrove Tuesday. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 7:32 pm.
Your pancakes sound great but I can’t even try to make pancakes because my kids think my Mom is the Goddess of Pancakes!! She has set the bar too high!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 7:48 pm.
That picture is droolworthy…
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 7:58 pm.
I’m a pancake lover, too. This recipe is a new one for me and they do look like crepes. Have to try it.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 8:00 pm.
Oh my goddess! They sound so good! I bet my kiddos would ole them too! Will absolutely be making them in the near future. Thanks for the recipe!

I’m just in the middle of a book – it’s a time travel romance – where the heroine is teaching the cook in the castle how to make crepes. They were attempting to flip them over but ended up tossing them to the ceiling instead where they got stuck.
I wouldn’t brae trying to flip mine that way!

Funnily enough, I just returned (home) from eating pancakes at IHOP. Mine were thin “Swedish” crepes sprinkled with powdered sugar along with lingonberry jam. They were yummy!
My husband ate Harvest Grain cakes. We do observe the tradition of eating pancakes the evening before Lent begins.
Though your recipe sounds great, I won’t be using it.
The best thing I make is reservations!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 8:59 pm.
Nice recipe!

We usually go to the Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner at our church, but this year I just wasn’t in a pancake mood today so we ended up at Texas Roadhouse instead.

I love pancakes and will eat them for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and/or dinner! These actually sound good and look pretty easy so I’ll have to try them out. Thanks and Happy Anniversary to you all!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 10:01 pm.
They are perfect for Ash Wednesday!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 10:16 pm.
YUM! I remember having these when we lived in England!
I spent most of today baking and decorating king cakes at the bakery. We sold a good many of them this weekend when so many of the local Mard Gras parades were held. We don’t have the big celebrations like Mobile has, but because of the French presence in the early history of this community and a large number of Katrina transplants Mardi Gras is celebrated and king cakes are a big part of that! Tomorrow? Valentine cupcakes! LOTS of them!

Mmmm… I LOVE pancakes. We ate them a lot in my house the whole time I was growing up (including for dinner!), but my husband doesn’t like them, so I don’t get to eat them very much anymore. Boo!

Pancake Day means race day for the ladies of Liberal Kansas and Olney England. They run down their Main Streets carrying skillets and flipping pancakes. They keep track of times and which town has won the most races. They have competed since the 50′s. Of course they serve pancakes as well.

On my pancakes, I like jelly – preferably fruit preserves.
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:21 pm.
I had blueberry muffins for my ‘fat Tuesday’ celebration….but pancakes would have been good too!
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:33 pm.
I’m low brow enough to go to IHOP for German pancakes – just as you’ve described – extra lemon. Yum
Posted on February 12, 2013 at 11:36 pm.
Yummy those look great thanks for the recipe. My youngest siblings are practicing Catholics & get what I think of as the diet mentality
They give up sweets, soda, candy. So they want to cram as much as they can as soon as Ash Wednesday starts getting close. We always do our own version of Fat Tuesday & get ice cream or candy, we visit & eat up.

Thanks for the recipe!

We love pancakes. I’ll have to try this recipe.
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 12:00 am.
Yum, pancakes! I didn’t actually do anything for pancake day (which was yesterday where I’m at now) but I so should have! I don’t really understand the reasoning behind the day though (something about eating before lent?) and Mardi Gras is Sydney is kind of more of a gay pride thing (also not for a few weeks. well the parade at least).
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 12:08 am.
We love pancakes, They are better for dinner than breakfast. My granddaughter call them “pannycakes”. We have them whenever she stays.
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 12:21 am.
I’m not much on pancakes but those look and sound really good. I may have to have my own pancake day soon.
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 12:26 am.
I always hated Lent growing up as I usually gave up sweets and before I would check to see when my birthday was, I would end up with no birthday cake as it was before Easter! These pancakes sound great and I may have to make them this weekend as now for Lent I give up swearing–or at least I try!
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 12:37 am.
Pancakes are yummy!! Great giveaway
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 1:27 am.
I love pancakes but I have never had German pancakes. Sounds like a good recipe.
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 2:18 am.
I love Pancake Day. It’s probably the only day of the year I can bother to make them for breakfast. They are ideal for brunch usually.
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 3:58 am.
Mmmmmm…. Pancakes….
Posted on February 13, 2013 at 4:07 am.
Mmm, how much time until breakfast, I’m hungry now lol

Pancakes are a way of life. Chocolate chip pancakes are heaven.
