Pancake party
I was invited to a pancake party. We all took along wine and stood or sat while pancakes were made. In the UK these are usually crepes rather than the small thick pancakes favoured in the US. The pancake chef was very good, and used a proper thick pan, so we had pancakes of the right, slightly spongy texture, and of the right size. He tossed them when one side was cooked, but was less expert at this, achieving a success rate of about 70 percent without them folding, including one spectacular failure, parts of which ended on the ceiling, parts on the floor! However, they were still among the best pancakes I’ve tasted.
The range of toppings was also spectacular. There was the classic butter and lemon juice, nutella, ice-cream), golden syrup, assorted jams, chocolate, vanilla toffee sauce, whipped cream, maple syrup, bananas, and condensed milk, to name but a few. Among the best I enjoyed was the combination of nutells chocolate sauce with ice-cream. Mmmm.
