my kids always have pancakes with cheese and baked beans - never sweet ones, they love them and will want them tomorrow as well.

Those sound like the Welsh cakes Lisa. I made my pancakes this year, with 4 oz gluten free flour, 2 eggs and half pint of apple juice (no milk), and they turned out very well, had a little molasses on them, yumm. Val

My husband never forgets it is pancake day he loves them. His Aunty makes them (a secret family welsh receipe) she told him when he was yonger that on his wedding day she would give him the receipe. We came out of the church I heard him shout to his aunty in welsh well I am married know do I get the receipe. Of course at the wedding reception waiting for him on the top table was the receipe and before you ask no I cannot make them as nice as her. But we have butter and sugar on ours they are only small and I think I had about 12 last year and our two children 4 and 6 most of eaten out 5 each, I have learnt know not to eat before!!!!!

Thanks for the recipe Jan. I usually buy the packs of batter mix but thought i'd give it a go from scratch this year. Jack x

My recipe says, 4 oz flour, 1 egg, half pint milk. Have heard that if you want to omit milk because of an intolerance, you can substitute the milk with orange juice, but i'm going to experiment using apple juice tonight. Val

thank you so much for that Jan. Debbie

Pancakes main Ingredients 120g plain flour 2 eggs 300ml milk vegetable oil for frying Method 1. Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs and beat with a whisk or fork. Gradually beat in the milk, drawing in the flour from around the edge, until you have a smooth batter. 2. Cover and leave to stand in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. 3. Heat a little oil in a 18cm heavy-based frying pan, tilting the pan to spread the oil evenly. 4. Pour in just enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden on the under side. Flip over, and cook the other side until golden. 5. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. 6. Repeat with the remaining batter to make eight pancakes.

I know I am going to sound really stupid, but every year I phone my Mum up and ask how to make the pancake mix. I remeber its egg flour and milk but how much? I dont want to have to make that hone call again. I dont usualy write it down, and then forget the following year. Thanks Debbie

We have been married for 45 years and my good lady has always made her own pancakes. This year, the grand-children and others visited, so she bought the mixture. They were very well received and you would be pushed to say which was the better. Happy days

We will also have syrup , Lemon & sugar, and Strawberries and home made Bailey's ice-cream. Glad Sam mentioned it as he left this morning Jan

Tonight when all my little darlings come home. They'll have lemon juice, golden syrup and sugar and I'll have maple syrup, mango ice cream and marscapone. I might let them share the mango ice cream! Yummy! Daisy PS. Don't tell Lynda, but I only use a fork for pancakes! lol

Yes. The family will be eating them as fast as I can cook them! We have fresh lemon juice and a dash of sugar on ours.

my daughter tried the ready made ones and thought they were great,but said she missed standing waiting for the pancakes to be cooked so that her and her brother could add the lemon juice and sugar like they did when they were little.

Sugar and lemon or golden syrup on mine.My 7 year old wants chocolate spread and ice cream on his.5 year old just licks the sugar off and leaves the pancake lol Anna :-)
