Just need to rage a bit. Partner bought some ready made 'The Make Yourself at Home Co. Pancakes' mix for tonight. Never used ready made stuff and wasnt keen on the idea, but was working late so wanted a bit less faff.
It was hand-down the worst batter mix I have ever seen in my life.I have no idea how they've screwed up pancake batter so much. I put less water in than advised, and it still came out like water. The batter just wouldn't cook no matter how long you cooked it. Pack suggested 1-2 mins. I left it for 5 and it was still raw in the middle - just a thin outer burnt layer that slid off when poked. No way in hell to flip, spatula or generall move it about - it just became a jellatinous mess. Didn't get a single pancake out of it.
Actually not one to moan generally, but this has really peed me off tonight TBH. Been thinking about pancakes all day. Partner tried to do a good thing but now I can't help but feel annoyed that she paid money for this utter crap. I even signed up to Iceland's website to leave a 1 star review, which is awaiting approval.
Cool starry bra I know. But I just needed to rage...
