ooh pancakes I forgot it was Shrove Tuesday. Supper time then. Butter and sugar with a squeeze of lemon mmmmmm. :o)

That's more like it SBG! To me pancakes are crepes those thin little morsels with sugar and lemon.

In 1990 visited Canada and the US and was more than surprised with there version of pancakes, which to me are large drop scones :-)

I could wax lyrical about crepes with apple butter and creme freshe.

My pancakes weren't very good this year. I used my new food processor to mix but it didn't seem to get enough air in and they were rather on the solid side. Alas.

Oh no always another time.

I normally make real scotch pancakes .

And always made them inmy elctric frypan but no longer have one .

But do have a gas hob and so wish had an old fashioned girdle.

Dont know where you can get them now.

The recipe I used this year was out Paul Hollywood cook book.

How about this one Scotcat...

Remember you have to copy and paste into your web browser not just click on in GoY

I did copy and paste and would not work MG.

So does the long one work?

Thanks MG yes it did.

I got one that's intended from galettes but makes a good girdle but I got it in a French supermarket which is a bit difficult. You can get a large batch of scotch pancakes on it all at once.
