Those big thin French crèpes with lemon and sugar. I'm a bit of a traditionalist.

The Mrs being a vegan has come across quite an interesting and palatable recipe. Soya milk, baking powder, plain flour and banana as egg replacement. It sounds revolting but is actually quite good. Usual lemon juice or maple leaf syrup. The banana is not too dominant and is quite a good texture.

It's always a descent when you find out you're not 100% Scottish

:^ Definitely. Though I always put too much batter in the pan and just end up with a stodgy mess.

Always eat them hot - pan to plate. Never bother stacking them and putting them in the oven to keep hot (dry out). Others, no doubt, will disagree. Sugar and lemon all the way. And totally agree with you re adding extra fat/oil - just butter in the pan, melt, pour in batter, fry, flip, fry again, tip to plate, sugar, lemon, roll, bit more sugar and lemon, scoff, repeat for everyone else waiting in the kitchen who suddenly appeared when they smelled the cooking. Enjoy j:

So let me get this straight, you save 5 calories in the ingredient pre cooking and then slather them in honey/syrup/sugar etc afterwards? I like to add a bit of jam to the to the pancake when they are in the pan then fold them in half, only needs to be 10 secs or so, bloody luverly. have also added sultanas to the batter before, that was quite nice too.

Donna wifey makes lovely pancakes

Trouble is, they are basically death-on-a-plate for a vast sack of flab like oneshumbleself, so I've been experimenting with the mix thusly

Last, and most controversially - I've been using a 3-way split of white flour, wholemeal flour and porridge oats for the batter - now this is just plain fucking lovely, and makes 'em more filling, so the theory is I eat less of 'em (the practice is the gutache is worse and the post-prandial coma is longer).

.

That oats and wholemeal flour sounds interesting. In a Derbyshire pub they served us up some oat type pancakes with savoury fillings they really hit the spot after a few hours on a mount bike in the freezing rain. I can't recall the name of them but they were bloomin good. A few chips wouldn't have gone amiss to accompany them.
