pancakes in Europe are thin and large but i allways wonder why are yours sooo small but BIG (fat)

2 question

what you like to put on/in them ?!

i like ice cream and nutella:cupidarrow: :happydance:

ps. i hope no one mind my question i ma just curious:cheers:

[ALEXIS_DH]

pancakes around here are flat too.
i like the flat sweet ones better. american puffy pancakes arent sweet, they are like puffed dry bread, like a sugarless muffin.

i like mine with honey. or if they smash a banana in the batter before frying, thats good too.

[OGRipper]

Dude, your euro "pancake" looks like a crepe. We have those too, we just don't call them pancakes.

[Ciaran]

pancakes, flapjacks, hotcakes... I like em hot with butter and maple syrup. maybe an egg on top, over easy. MMMMM MMMMM!

[Tmeyer]

I consider thin somewhat crispy = flapjacks
Pancakes are the thick ones that soak up anything you put on em. I actaully made some flapjacks this morning, ummmmmm!

[SkaredShtles]

Pancakes kick ass. I make mine with the usual (flour, bk powder, sugar, eggs, milk, oil) but I add the goodies too - cinnamon, nutmeg, and blueberries. :drool:

[narlus]

banana walnut pancakes rule all.

[SkaredShtles]

banana walnut pancakes rule all.
Is that what goes on top? Or are they made with that stuff in the batter?

[Ciaran]

Oh man I hate bananas in pancakes. It's like having boogers in your pancakes.

[narlus]

make the batter as normal.

pour batter to make pancake.

put 2-3 pieces of thinly sliced (on the bias) banana in the uncooked pancake, and stud it w/ chopped walnuts.

flip, cook, serve.

banana walnut pancakes rule all.

Hmm, I would rather have banana walnut bread, toasted with lots of whipped butter.

I can get into blueberry pancakes but otherwise not into fruit with pancakes. That is, unless you count sausage or bacon as fruit. :biggrin:

Bacon can be considered a member of *every* food group. :D

Damn dude, do you get an email every time someone uses the word "bacon" on RM? :)

[SkaredShtles]

Even better - I've trademarked it. I get *paid* every time somone uses the word bacon. :D

Blueberry pancakes rock!!!

[MudGrrl]

Blueberry Pancakes!
:monkeydance:

also, Trader Joe's has a chocolate chocolate chip pancake mix.


It's totally dessert for breakfast.



and.... I love crepes.
There is an awesome little place somewhere in Denver that has great crepes... lemme grab OMGF to see if he can remember their name.

Whole Foods sells an awesome pancake mix. I like Whole Foods. Problem is, I can't get out of there without spending a hundred bucks.

That's what it's like for us at Costco. :dead:

[Downhiller]

ok put some pics of your stuff on/in pancakes..

thx :)

[I Are Baboon]

:disgust1:

The mix has the same ingredients you listed, but milk/water, eggs and oil need to be added. And fresh blueberries or strawberries, of course. :)

Spending $100 at Costco is getting off easy.

[Kanter]

peanut butter and maple syrup

[valve bouncer]

Pancakes with raspberry jam and fresh cream can actually cause me to inhale food. If 20 were put in front of me I'd try or die.

Fixed it!


Much better. The "sugar water" pushed off as syrup in the grocery store is crap. Pure New England syrup is a requirement for me. I have had VT, NH, ME, and MA pure, and they are all good. NYS and Qubec are also good. IMO, using Butterworth's is as bad as using a bacon substitute. :disgust1:

Octoberfest is out at Trout River. And it was good.

[riverside73]

Banana Pancakes are good, and in a pinch (no bananas) I have spread banana Hammer Gel on the cakes and it is actually quite good!

[SkaredShtles]

So why in God's name would you pay extra for all that? For the box? I'll bet it comes in a pretty box. :D

Ummm........... I hate to break it to you, but "real" maple syrup is literally sugar water. :D

And while I'd agree with you in principle, the reality is that we eat soooooo many pancakes at our house that I'd probably go broke buying the real stuff. So it's syrup by the gallon in our household. :D

It comes in a bag.

$3 is too expensive? Cheap ass.

[SkaredShtles]

For $.54 worth of flour, sugar, and baking powder? Yeah. That's too expensive. :p

Edit: You're right about the cheap a$$, though. :D

Here is the website for "Het bekendste pannenkoekenhuis van Amsterdam" ==> http://www.pancake.nl/

...and here is a portion of their menu and let me just tell you, it is quite the dining experience- especially after an appetizer of AK47/kif. Because they are situated so close to Grey Area, they've taken more than a little bit of my money over the years! Amazing "crepe" style potato, breakfast and dinner pancakes.

[narlus]

SS, for the children's sake, don't deprive them of maple syrup by giving them flavored corn syrup.

:clue: :banghead:

[llkoolkeg]

Just say "No" to Karo!

[SkaredShtles]

:clue: :banghead:
I'm not depriving them - real maple syrup is an occasional treat. Seriously - we go through more than a gallon a month. :greedy:

When I was a kid growing up in Michigan, we made our own maple syrup at the homestead. Good times..........

"B" grade, which I prefer because it's darker/thicker, can be bought around here for $8-$10 per quart. For me, it's 100% pure maple syrup, or I don't have pancakes or belgian waffles. This is one of the products I will not compromise on.

I applaud your good taste!

We choose not to compromise on our stinky cheese (real Italian Grana Padano). The kids are probably too young to discern/care on the syrup side anyways. :D

Blueberry pancakes rock!!!

when they are bursting with real blueberry goodness! yum!

cleaning the pan afterwards is a pain though.

[narlus]

and no corn syrup was poured on them.
