Pancake Day!

[Mets]

Anyone having pancakes today? There's a recipe on esource for 1pp pancakes then you just need to add the filling.

I never used to like pancakes but I'm going to try them tonight as the boyf wants them. I was planning on having some nutella and banana in mine. Maybe do a savoury one with cheese? We bought some of that new chocolate Philly yesterday so going to try that too.

What will your fillings be? xxx

That's 1pp each isn't it, I worked out that 125g of plain flour is 11pp so if the recipe makes 12 it's 1pp each yeah? I got some mixed berries!

 

[Mets]

Yeah the recipe makes 12 and so they're 1pp each. I'm not sure how big they'll be mind.... Mmmm mixed berries! Yum! x

[sarah88]

125 g Flour, Wheat, White, Plain, sifted

So just made these did what recipe said and only got 8 pancakes when using 3 tbsp of batter? Is this still 1pp each ?

 

[sarah88]

As it's a simply filling day would my pancakes be alright as 1pp? How many pp do u think?

 

[Mets]

Oh no! That's a bit rubbish.... I think if you're going to do it properly, you'd have to divide the the ingredients by how many pancakes you got?? I'll see how many I get later x

 

[sarah88]

Well if I point just the flour as the other ingredients r free it is 11pp so divide that by 8 gives me 1.375 and isn't it if it's under 1.5 u round down to 1pp? Or do u think I'm better off having it as 2pp?

 

[Mets]

I'd round it down to 1pp it it were me hun. I wonder why you didn't get 12 out of them....? x

 

[sarah88]

I don't no, I weighed and measured everything and only used 3 tbsp per pancake, it's not like u can heap batter mix on the spoon so I don't see how that can be wrong, I got 8 pancakes and had 1tbsp of batter left? It's so annoying!

 

[Mets]

How strange. Well I'll give it a go and report back. Saying that, I don't actually have a tablespoon! So mine will be a guesstimate anyway x

 

[sarah88]

I used a spoon u eat desserts with is that not a tablespoon?

 

[QueenOmi]

Philadelphia Cadbury Cheese. Only 2pp!! Don't mind if I do!!

 

[Mets]

I used a spoon u eat desserts with is that not a tablespoon?

No that's a dessert spoon! ;-) a tablespoon is bigger than that. So in actual fact, you'd have had even less mixture!

30g is actually quite a lot of Philly! Z

 

[sarah88]

Well definitely only 1pp then, I think Ww must have messed up on that recipe?

 

[sarah88]

What is Philly cadbury cheese does it have choc in? Or was that a type error

 

[Mets]

No it's got Cadburys chocolate in it! Mmmmmm! It tastes like Nutella to me but doesn't have such a rich chocolate flavour.

 

[Mets]

Well mine didn't make 12 either! Probably only got 5 decent size ones out of it. Rubbish!

 

[Mets]

Oh an the Cadburys Philly was lush!
