only teasing iaineasy

it's well known that the first one is always a 'duffer'... just the way it is (still tastes just a good!)


a dash of sunflower seed oil in the batter and rub round the pan with a bit of the oil and some kitchen towel and off you go... get tossing


you can't beat lemon and sugar

but fresh lime and runny honey is delicious too


or orange and maple syrup http://www.lakeland.co.uk/content/images/staticpages/recipes/pancakes.jpg

Yes, its one of the life's great mysteries - the first pancake does always end up a bit rubbish but they get better with practice. Hope yours were a success.


As whats been said before - simpler the better, couple of eggs, flour and milk, use butter, hot pan, squeeze of lemon juice and sugar......mmmm. Eat them warm and with lots of hungry people around (tu)

Oh what a lovely day it is today...I think I could be in pancake-mode all week.


Now how could I forget Crepes Suzette...? thin - check , yummy - check, simple to make - check. Same as previous ingredients plus freshly squeezed orange juice and a splosh of grand marnier (or similar), fold into little triangles.


Did anyone else notice the hoardes* of people queuing up to buy nutella in somerfield/co-op last eve?


PS. felt-tip, those savoury and sweet pancakes sound FAB (tu)


* erm...of about 5 (edited to balance unintentional gross exaggeration)


*goes off in search of nutella*

Ah Crepes Suzette! You don't often see them on a restaurant menu these days - they are so 60's/70's bistro fare! And you would order them - or hope a nearby table would order them - just to enjoy the show of them being made and set alight with a terrifying WHOOSSHHH by the flamboyant waiter working hard for a bigger tip. It doesn't seem the same making them at home, easy as it is, although you can glug the Grand Marnier/Curacao and brandy with a somewhat more generous hand. Just take the battery out of the smoke alarm first...

    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
