What makes a perfect pancake? For me, it's definitely a chocolate chip one with so much nuggets of brown gold it sticks to your mouth. Awwww yeah. |

Much as I don't like to give props to anything French but for me, crępes suzette represents the ultimate in pancake technology. But other favs, are the classic lemon and sugar, or there's always maple syrup, whipped cream and strawberries and for savoury - bacon and maple syrup is always a winner. |

Nibby, you might want to be less relentless with Burgundy. I think he's starting to show the strain. :lol: My nieces like pancakes with bacon. I can only eat pancakes with fruitish type stuff, as I cannot shake off my belief that eating sweet things with salty things is against nature. Pancakes with blueberries, raspberries and ice-cream, very thin is best. There should always be enough ice-cream to last the whole pancake, but there never is. Lemon and sugar if I'm cooking them myself. Again, very thin. (Early imprinting.) |

I remembered and we had pancakes for lunch today, even though the kidlet was puking yesterday. They stayed down! At home we tend to have flapjacks - I make three in the frying pan, so that size, and reasonably thick - and the kidlet and hubby put good ol' maple syrup on them. Having grown up in a family too cheap to buy the real thing, I have no appreciation for the difference, so I tend to use the ol' Aunt Jemima fake stuff because it's $2 a bottle instead of $10. But my favourite pancakes of all time were my mom's strawberry pancakes. Crepe (nice and thin), layer of fresh strawberries (no sweetening needed - we picked 'em ourselves and they were always plenty sweet), another crepe, another layer of strawberries, repeat until it's about six inches thick, then cut it like a pie and eat until it's gone. Yum! We'd eat 'em at supper, after a bowl of soup, usually bean soup. My mom made an awesome green bean soup (fresh beans) with ham and potatoes and lots of dill. It was a very gardeny kind of meal. |

I like the fake stuff too, Lara, though I don't often buy it these days since it's pretty much colored high fructose corn syrup, which I'm trying to cut back on. *cracks a Dr Pepper* Anyway. My dad makes the best waffles. Crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, gorgeous flavor. |

Screw pancakes! The bismark(a mix between an ovenbaked pancake and a popover.) rules! With real maple syrup.

LD, I lived off of those when I was adjusting to single living. It was great. I'd drown one in syrup and eat it by hand while the next cooked. My digestive system still hasn't forgiven me. |

A Variation of Oven Baked Pancakes I fail to see what so damn strange about this pancake. <_< This is the lightest version, you can also add apples and cinnamon (I hope the idea isn't too revolutionary for you. ). Truly, it's very delicious, far superior to a traditional pancake.

I've done the Bisquix pancakes and fake syrup, too. Right now, we have President's Choice Organic pancake mix. I don't get around to doing the whole recipe. Ever. |

Pancakes require flour, milk and an egg. I can cook pancakes. And I have been accused of being unable to cook pasta. What next? Pre-mixed omelette?? Regullus, that was a serious question. I have never heard of cooking pancakes in the oven before. :lol: I admit, with all this talk of packet mix pancakes, I feared what an oven-baked pancake might entail. I am greatly relieved to hear they are what a frittata is to an omelette. What is a pop-over? *Who would have thought this thread would be full of so much drama and controversy? :lol: |

Good pancakes require much more, and if I am to go to the trouble of making a pancake from scratch, then darn it, it will be a Good Pancake. The PCO mix requires milk, egg and butter (specifies organic for all three :lol: ). I just don't have to bother with making sure I have and measuring all the dry ingredients. They're actually fairly nice. |

This is probably more than Burgundy bargained for - but it is the Essential Question. See, I think pancakes are easy. They are not like mayonnaise. |

Mayonnaise is an easy recipe, just tedious if you make it by hand. And good pancakes don't require anything more than flour, eggs and milk and some butter heated up and put back into the mixture. |

Ah. They do sound yummy. I take it the mustard is for when you want savoury ones. Much trickier than scones. It is much easier to buy a bottle of mayonnaise than stand there mixing it until your hand drops off. And you can buy nifty ones with lime and Thai chilli and whatnot. Therefore mayonnaise belongs in a class of food labelled "Much better if you buy it from the shop." :viking: Pancakes that you make yourself are superior in taste to pre-mixed ones. You all just think you prefer the artificial flavours and preservatives. Powdered eggs. A crime against nature. Ask anyone in the army. :lol:

I can't stand mayonnaise on ANYTHING, but I love garlic aioli (sp?). Of course, garlic makes just about anything better. The great foods/food additives of the world - chocolate, bacon, cheese, garlic, rosemary, bourbon. Bourbon is nifty because it gives a nice flavor to sweet AND savory. |

That is so wrong, I don't know where to start. The home made stuff tastes a million times better, and you can make it in a food processor in about 3 minutes with no effort and add whatever you like to it. You are buying convenience, not a better product. Seems strange to me you moan about powdered egg, as shop bought mayo is almost certainly made from it - and is full of preservatives to boot. |

I've made mayo once and I have to agree it wasn't very difficult. Gravy can be much more tedious to make, gravies based on rouxs, anyway. It's strange about sauces, sometime they're so difficult and others so easy. Maple syrup is time consuming to make but very worthwhile. |

Krazy, Regullus, does that mean maple syrup doesn't come from maple trees??? :o :lol: Day before yesterday, I went out for coffee with my dad (and, he drank coffee!! ) and we stopped at the supermarket. He decided he needed a packet of white sauce for some fish. There's half an aisle dedicated to packet mix sauces and gravies. Every conceivable mixture of flavours under the sun, but no simple white sauce. My dad is now pondering the decay of society. |
