Galactic Space Hamster Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I made American style pancakes for breakfast today with plenty of maple syrup poured over them! I have had them in the U.S quite a number of times, but never attempted to make them myself. Turned out really well! I was really pleased and so were my taste buds! What did you have for breakfast?

happyanddandy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Many Happy Returns for yesterday!! I love pancakes both American and our version (Delia Smith recipe - yum). Am off to USA next Friday - so pancakes here we come!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Space Hamster Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Thank you! Have a great time in the U.S of A! Best american food: pancakes, hush puppies, meat loaf and red eye gravy, crispy american style bacon, corn bread, chicken n dumplings! Most of this is Southen food, but I guess you can get it all over? Best junk food outlet Long John Silvers and Taco Bell... but don't touch the chocolate, it's terrible! Hope it's a wonderful trip for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyanddandy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Thanks for that, hush puppies sound intriguing! - I think there is a Long John Silver in Orlando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Space Hamster Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hush puppies are fried corn breads, normally sweeter than corn bread, so I think they must put a little sugar in it? Oh, which reminds me is it corn dogs(?) which are hot dogs on a stick covered in hush puppy batter! Yuuumy. You can get hush puppies at Long John silver, I'm pretty sure :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Space Hamster, nice to see you again! Had 2 qaghaq tal-hmira for breakfast - which are soft yeast rings with seeds. I love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Dale and I had a couple of slices of toast - his with Utterly Butterly, mine with Lurpack Light Spreadable. Both had a nice cup of coffee with it. Lounged about in bed to have breakfast too (it was my turn to make it, but I just crawled back under the covers!).

Guest ii Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hold on now... We're supposed to share what we're having for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and what we're wearing, and what we're reading, and still we're expected to actually have the time to get dressed and eat all that food and read? Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. And an apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontalba Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Skipped my usual Weetabix biscuits and cream cheese this morning, finished up some cream of chicken soup [from last night] and then on to peanut butter and butter on oatmeal toast with tea.

Recipe for pancakes serves 4. :-) As a variation of your recipe try it using 13/4 cups all purpose flour and 1/4 cup of cornmeal. BTW, I hope that your maple syrup was "pure" maple syrup, nothing better on pancakes. Another variation, try using Vanilla Soy Milk instead of regular milk sometime. My OH loves them that way and, actually, so do I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ii Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I love pancakes and maple syrup. Very unhealthy, but really good. I think I can give a standing answer to this tread. My breakfast is always the same: coffee. With soy milk. No, that was a lie, sometimes I make have a cappuccino or cafe latte, if I have the time. But that's like Sundays, weekdays are coffee, from freshly ground beans. Back in Paris I used to stop by this pâtisserie near where I lived for a cafe latte and something little to eat, and to catch up on what's going on. You could get delicious goodies, great coffee, and all the important news from politics to social events to business mergers to hemline heights in 15 minutes.

I think the maple syrup is pure... that's what is says on the bottle at least lol I love pancakes and maple syrup. Very unhealthy, but really good. Oh yeah!

But that's like Sundays, weekdays are coffee, from freshly ground beans. I'm serious about my coffee! ALWAYS gotta have coffee! I buy mine from www.hasbean.co.uk who I recommend very highly! They roast and grind the coffee fresh to order. At the moment I have a wonderful South American coffee and an Indian coffee.

~Andrea~ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Today I had my usual single weetabix. Keeps me going until I get to work where I have a mug of tea as soon as I get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks for the tips! I have seen some recipes that call for buttermilk, what do you think of that? I actually always use Buttermilk except when I use the Vanilla Soy Milk.............Never use the regular milk if Buttermilk is available.

Princess Orchid Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Mmm...pancakes. I always get my breakfast at work, as it gives me an extra few minutes in bed in the morning! The canteen does a mean bagel, and when they run out, there's always the Almighty Pretzel. With one VQR extra light triangle (I can't get used to calling them Laughing Cow - they're called Vache Qui Rit where I'm from!). Strangely, I eat almost no bread at home.
