I never weigh anything when I make pancakes lol! I've been making them since I was a child and I couldn't be bothered with the scales. They've always turned out nice

Good luck and post a picture if you haven't eaten them all!

Buy some 8p value brand batter mix from Co-op/Tesco/Asda!

Xxx

 

[mumtomany]

wow all those ingrediants!

my recipe is the same for yorkshire pud mix....

2 eggs, add 6 heaped spoons of plain flour, mix well(can get a bit hard to stir) add milk a little at a time and mix well each time. until it's as thick as double cream.

no weighing, no measuring. perfect pancakes and high rising yorkies

good luck.

p.s i would add a small tiffal red spot frying pan into the equation to get the best pancakes that don't stick! lol

You don't need baking powder if you use sparkling water instead of milk. Buying a ready mix for a batter which only consists of eggs and flour strikes me as slightly sad.

I agree, but it was just a suggestion to try and help

why?

I buy it ready made because a)it's cheaper b)it's less hassle and c)I'm lazy

 

[skairdykat]

I'm with Jade on this one. We got the ones were you just add milk to a bottle of powder and shake it up. Tasted no different to the ones my Nan used to make from scratch.

If that makes me slightly sad then so what? Lol

But is it really cheaper? Flour and eggs is something I always have in the house. Going out to buy extra pancake mix would therefore be extra expense and hassle. If you don't usually stock the ingredients it's something different of course.

 

[skairdykat]

Well I got two of the bottle mixes for a quid, 50p for the lemon juice and already had sugar and choc spread in.
But I suppose if you always have the flour etc in then yes I would make my own.

 

[Minxy]

I always have eggs and flour in, but I always have a value batter mix in too.

So I am sad (and fat-blame the Nutella )

 

[LilysMummy]

I made them with out scales today, im a pancake virgin, was impressed with myself

If they hand pancake mix in my local shop id probably would of brought that

 

[Sephs]

Stepdads grandson wanted pancakes today, we always have the mix in the cupboard but didn't, so I just bunged flour, milk and 2 eggs into a bowl. Was rather nice, clean plates all round!

 

[mrs_tommo22]

I made mine - printed delias recipe off the bbc lol

I didnt realise they had ready made packets id defintely use them as the kids loved pancakes tonight!

 

[muppetmummy]

I always use the packets of batter mix. It's pointless me buying a bag of flour as I never use it for anything else and it would just sit in the cupboard going out of date

Me and Neill really enjoyes our pancakes this evening. James doesn't like them!

 

[Sage]

they were a success! never made them with baking powder before, mine are usually really skinny but they were nice and fluffy this time, ky wolfed his down but the second one was shredded into a million pieces and promptly thrown on the floor

ive had 5 and oh is tucking into his now, lol i feel like a successful home-maker now

they did sell the batter in the shop, and i did think about gettin it but had some flour in the cuboards so thought id go for it. it was easy peesy! waay haaay for me!
