First Day of Spring, Pancake day (Shrove Tuesday)...oh and St. David's Day anyone...?

[Koldov]

As the title states!

 

Discuss...

[Koldov]

OK, I'll start...

 

First day of Spring and it's raining...

 

Pancake Day and the OH has got everything ready including a massive jar of Nutella!

 

St. David's Day and I'm not seeing Daffodils, Leeks or Dragons anywhere (just saying)...

[tmoon-mint]

Lovely blue skies here, it is a little cold though!

 

Any day that encourages you to gorge yourself on Nutella gets a thumbs up from me.

[DeGrimmy]

I've got two cartons of pancake mix (because there's always at least one pancake's worth that goes tremendously wrong), lemon juice, maple syrup and Nutella all ready, and I'll be stopping off to grab some fresh fruit for the pancake feast in my flat later. Very ready for it!

[Ditto]

Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day..? Pancake day or St. David's day..?

 

All very tricky questions - the first thought that Springs to mind for me... it's a bit of a toss-up which I'd pick

pancake mix

 

I once saw a packet of ‘pancake mix’ in a supermarket that said ‘Just add eggs and milk’ on the side of it. I said out loud ‘Flour. You’re selling flour’.

 

At least bread mix has yeast in it usually, that was just ridiculous

I remember seeing that too. I think it was in Sainsbury’s. I also muttered under my breath about it!

I've been making pancakes for decades with 100% success using Delia Smith's recipe. OH made batter before I got home using a BBC good food recipe and I found it almost impossible to cook the pancakes. BBC required 10g less flour, 25ml extra milk. I made a second batch for dessert and order was restored [emoji28]

Wow! Thankfully, the pancake mix we used was from Sainsbury's, and it was a "just add water" type one. It worked out very well!

The first day of Spring is March the 20th. The 1st is the first day of meteorological spring so that it fits in their nice little boxes.

I was just coming on to type that! haha

[Koldov]

If you put a date on it, it's still a 'box'...

 

Just a bigger box for those in touch with 'Mother Earth' and her so called 'seasons'.

 

In other news I managed 8 banana, nutella and squirty cream pancakes!

 

I was also disappointed no Daffodils, Leeks or Dragons appeared on the EDUGEEK banner....

We have daffodils and leeks in our garden but no dragons at the moment..

I've been making pancakes for decades with 100% success using Delia Smith's recipe.

 

It's Gary Rhodes in our house, normally have to make 1 1/2 of his recipe so everyone has enough. Pancakes with golden syrup, lemon and sugar, and Nutella (not at the same time) here.

 

Seeing some daffodils around, but the ones in our garden haven't come up yet. No sightings of leeks or dragons.

 

Rain and dreary yesterday

My mix is usually something along the lines of 75g flour, 150ml milk and 1 egg. If I'm feeling posh, a bit of melted butter. Multiply that up as needed.

 

Make sure the pan is smoking hot before you start making the pancakes otherwise they'll stick. I always prefer to use butter or ghee than oil as well; seems to work better.
