You big cheapskate, 6 eggs cost all of about a pound. Do yourself a favour make some real pancakes then bake a cake

Trust me it did cross my mind... but by the time I managed to secure enough time to bake said cake the eggs would only be good enough to throw at Nix...

;) j/k!

Am I the only one who has my pancakes with stew instead of sticking all this sugary crap on them? They're actually not that unhealthy when you do that :p
 
I thought my kids were conning me! They VERY excitedly told me last night that today was pancake day, so despite not believing them for a second I decided to play it safe and bought the expected goodies. Golden syrup, sugar, lemon juice, squirty cream, peaches, choc sauce. It will degenerate into squirting cream and sauce directly into mouths within 10 minutes.

Pass the valium to help me through the inevitable sugar rush.
 
I tried pancakes years ago, and they were minging :p

But BEFORE anyone shoots me down, I'm giving them another go tonight! Any suggestions on what to have with them? The strawberries and cream one looks nice :)

lay one out flat, put a few dobs of tomato sauce in the middle, then roll up the pancake like a fat cigar,and eat
 
This thread makes me hungry :( . Not had dinner yet but it should be ready in about 5mins and then I've got some pancakes coming afterward! :D .

Don't think I'll be having any. I love making, cooking and eating them, but since my folks are away and the bf is in Wales, I don't actually have anyone to cook them for. Ah well, they're bad for me anyway :p

I can visit!
 
boo I'm not having any my local asda has completely sold out of blokes* pancake mix. And I can't be bothered trying to make it myself this year out of flour and eggs.

Knowing my cooking skills I will end up with yorkshire pudding if I try lol.

Origins

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent - the 40 days leading up to Easter - was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday Christians went to confession and were "shriven" (absolved from their sins). It was the last opportunity to use eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.

Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days before to Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year to year and falls between February 3 and March 9.

This year Pancake Day is on 28 February 2006. Next year in 2007 it will be on 20 February and in 2008 it will be on 5 February.

So is it a Christian thing or are other religions in on it too?
