Pancake Tuesday

Someone reminded me today is Pancake Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras if you swing that way). Fan-ta-bu-lous idea to eat pancakes for dinner. Yum.

Back in the day; my mom would make “silver dollar” and “quarter” (size) pancakes for me. For some reason it made the pancakes even better when you could eat a silver dollar pancake.

Though we won’t be doing pancakes tonight (Thing 2 is grading for her purple belt in Karate – cross your fingers). I will whip up a batch of crepes, fill them up with sugar (Thing 1) and nutella (Thing 2) to eat on the way home.

Crepes
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 x eggs
1 cup milk
2 spoonfuls sugar (only for dessert crepes)
2 tbsp melted butter
water, as needed
(a touch of rum is optional – gives it flavour)

(Let the batter sit an hour)
