Shrove Tuesday.....Pancakes!

I just LOVE pancakes, however they come! Sweet or savoury, they have to be one of my favourite foods. If only I could get someone else to make them for me though I'd enjoy them so much more! It seems to take soooo long & I make such a mess when I'm making them that it would be great if, for once I could sit down to enjoy them without having had the trouble of making them!
Making these miniature versions was nowhere near as messy as making the real thing, but I have to say that they took a whole lot longer...I could've made enough pancakes to feed an army in the time they took me! These are one of my weaknesses.....eaten with toffee sauce or simple golden syrup & lemon.....I'm making myself hungry!




Then these are a little more luxurious being filled with piped, whipped cream & fresh strawberries with a fresh strawberry sauce ( or should I say "coulis" in this day of pretension in food!!)drizzled over them...I can feel the inches going on as I think about them! :-))





It's taken me many years to work out just how simple it is to make life easier when I fancy some pancakes but don't want to stand for ages over a hot cooker...spend the hours making way too many pancakes than we can eat in one meal & separating each with a sheet of greaseproof paper...freeze them!! Simple! Once I'd worked this out, I now have pancakes in the freezer for whenever the fancy takes me....until they run out of course & then I have to stand for ages re-making my stock!

Hi Linda,your pancakes are perfect,saw them allready in the auction.I prefer the one with golden sirup,but I don't heed your advice to make some in reserve to have it every time in the freeze.No,I'm not so tall as you are;-)!Hugs,Jeannette

Even for me, the cream is too luxury but it always pleasures me.
