Hi Zippychick, I used this recipe on pancake day, it was the first time I had made crepe style pancakes (I've only ever made American before) and I thought they turned out great.

Got the recipe off of a website ages ago, can't remember where though.

"Ingredients: 125g plain flour, sifted
1 medium size egg, beaten
300ml milk
a little oil for frying
Method:
Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the egg, then gradually add half the milk, stirring constantly. Add the remaining milk and beat thoroughly, until smooth.

Heat a small omelette or frying pan and add a few drops of oil. Pour a little batter into the pan and tilt so that the batter coats the bottom of the pan.

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear and the underside is golden. Loosen the edges of the pancake, then flip it over and cook the other side for a further 1-2 minutes, or until golden.

Pile the pancakes on to a warm plate, separating them with sheets of greaseproof paper. Keep warm and continue to make 8 pancakes in total."

Ok. If im substituting dry for fresh herbs, whats the ratio? Talking thyme.

Also, anyone got a creme fraiche substitute?

TIA

Very annoyed. New to baking, all was going well, made thriftladys muffins and twinks hobknobs and butter shortbread = gorgeous.

I tried delias pancakes which were inedible, and tonight banana muffins (different recipe), and the inside was like goo. I know im using the right quantities (99%) and ingredients, but how can it suddenly go wrong? Boo hoo.

Very disheartened. Tea and banana bread crust for me (im not wasting the outside!)

Hi - does anyone know how long you have to boil bacon ribs for? I imagine they would cook quickly but I seem to remember my Mum cooking them for ages because she said they would be tough otherwise. Can anyone advise?

Thanks!

I used Nigella's pancake recipe and it was really easy and they were beautiful, somewhere between crepes and american pancakes so they rose a little and didn't spread too much in the pan so they were easy to control. Can find the recipe out for you but I know there were no specialist ingredients in

Are you sure you measured accurately I use that recipe every couple of months and the batter is like thick single cream. If there's too much water, the batter will tend to stick
