Pancake Day!

Options
pancakeee.jpg

It's Pancake Day tomorrow which is one of our favourite things to celebrate at MSE, seeing as it's all based around using what you've got in your cupboards and being a bit thrifty!

So we want you to vote in The Great MSE Poll...Sweet or Savoury?

I personally prefer the classic lemon and sugar, but I've seen some great combinations out there from Nutella and banana to Chicken satay! :/

Feel free to post your best, thriftiest recipes as well.

Let us know if you're a sweet or savoury pancake-r in the poll :)

    I always have fresh squeezed orange juice on mine, the lemon makes it a bit too 'tart' for my taste buds!

    I made the batter up at lunchtime then put it away in the fridge to let the gluten rest.

    I had to think about this one - I make pancakes often with the grandgirls and we usually make sweet ones - and I don't have one. but, if I make pancakes for me and OH - then I fill them with savoury stuff. like leftover Bolognese or Cheese.
    oh and today grandgirls and I discussed WHY pancakes are traditional. the girls said it was to use up eggs etc............and I pointed out that it only uses ONE egg to every 8ounces of flour - hardly using up eggs! scrambled eggs or omelette would use up more eggs.
