Wingpete Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Pancake day is coming soon, so I am told ! I have to knock up enough for a dozen people invited to participate in a little soiree here in the garden. I will be using my gas BBQ for the cooking. The question is, 1. How many eggs will I need for a dozen pancakes & 2. What sort of frying pan can I use on the BBQ grilling irons. & 3. Which wine would be best, to go with hot pancakes?

Guest starspirit Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 1. Depends on whether you use wrens eggs or ostrich eggs. 2. Depends on how big the eggs are, but I would use a metal one. 3. Depends on what Lidl's are offering cheapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Dwight Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Peter, Only one pancake each, in that case 1 egg will do for 12 pancakes. It wouldnt do in our house that would ust about be enough for my Son alone. Savoury or sweet then decide on the wine. Why not splash them with Calvados ooh my mouths watering already. Definatley a well used pancake pan for the cooking, just smeared with oil Bon appetite David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twooks Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 or you could cheat, nip over to Brittany and bring back a couple of hundred galettes for me, and a few for yourself :-> B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twooks Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 according to Delia: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/basilpancakswithsuga_66226.shtml or: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/basic-pancakes-with-sugar-and-lemon,803,RC.html you should also insist that no-one gets a pancake until they've tossed one!!! :-> B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingpete Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Twooks, Looked at Delia's recipe, and she uses only 2 eggs to serv 12 to 14 pancakes. I only want 12, so what can I do with the other 2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twooks Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 that's ok, if you make everyone toss their own they're bound to send at least 2 next door....... >:-) B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 The first pancake is always a dud so you can forget that, and you'll probably end up with one looking like a lump of soggy mush so that's the other one, if you're really lucky you might end up with a spare so that's the bakers dozen and belongs to the cook!

colin Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Wingpete - 2007-02-11 5:39 PM Twooks, Looked at Delia's recipe, and she uses only 2 eggs to serv 12 to 14 pancakes. I only want 12, so what can I do with the other 2 ? I'll have them. I use delia's recipe for just the two of us, don't get 12 as I make then a bit thicker :-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starspirit Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 so what can I do with the other 2 ? Not a sensible qustion to ask really was it? I'm surprised that nobody has posted a simple solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingpete Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Managed to get two dozen pancakes out of my mix. Must have been due to the 6 inch camping fry pan I used :$ But then found my lemons were off >:-( Must have been fermenting after picking them in Spain during January trip. Tomato juice not quite the same. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
