pancakes

[redbird]

I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast/lunch today.

Not a big deal, except that this is the first time I've made regular pancakes from scratch. Ever. (And it's been a few years since I made matzoh latkes.)

To some extent, this was a learning experience: the third and last batch were the best of the three, because I'd gotten the pan temperature and the batter consistency right by then. But all three batches were food, and next time will be better, because I'll remember what I did this time.

I think it's time to buy maple syrup.

Congratulations ... I made sourdough pancakes today, and was very pleased with the end result, although the batter was a little sloppier than I expected. (I'd cut down the recipe and I think a little more flour would have helped.)

Fun, isn't it?

Two comments:

1) it is reputed that leaving the batter to "rest" (in a jug in the fridge) for a period of time improves the pancake (say 30 minutes to an hour)

2) some of my friends put sugar in the batter, I don't, I guess it's just different recipies

Had a really gorgeous "crepe" at the Cropredy festival on Saturday, with a filling of cheese and (very) garlic mushrooms ... gorgeous (except possibly *too* garlicy/salty and yes, it is possible to be too garlicy!) Looked and tasted like a thin pancake to me though ...
