I have looked at those things in the supermarket before and wondered who buys them :D

Pancake batter is reallllllllllly easy to make, Delia to the rescue - take 2 minutes! I have good electric scales though which make it faster.

You might wonder who buys them. There are loads of people who have no cooking skills whatsoever. It is something that usually comes from your mother or school teaching you but not everybody has that skill passed down to them.
A simple thing like washing lettuce had me is stitches when a young girl I know put the lettuce, straight from the garden, into a bowl of water and squirted fairy liquid over it. She had never been shown and that is what she thought it meant.😱

Dear Steff,
That was not aimed at you my dear, you have already explained. I would think working in food preparation all day is a valid excuse in itself.

When I was a student a friend of mine put an unopened can of baked beans in the oven to cook them! 😱

Must admit, I learned a lot of my cooking skills with my girlfriend in my early 20s. We didn't have much money but she had some excellent recipes she had learned from her Mum and which I still make today (sadly, not with said gf!)

My Mum was a decent cook, but I never really learned anything from her in my teens.
 
I know someone who made beans on toast, by putting cold beans on untoasted bread and sticking it under the grill!

I had a couple of disasters with school cookery..
1 - The swiss roll which mum said tasted like leather!
2 - the apple and blackberry pie which got tipped up in my bag!
 
We have betty crocker, busy mum dont have time to buy things and mess about cooking every night and as you can only do one at a time to feed us all takes ages.

We are having everything lol

I love forest fruits and golden syrup. 2 of your 5 a day cant argue with that..

My exucse for the syrup is pancakes make me low. so woop for syrup. xx
 
Me and the wife made some last night.............

We just couldn't wait till today. We just stood at the cooker and ate them straight out the pan pretty much, chocolate spread and some syrup.......

Looking forward to more tonight, I have starved myself at lunch today to knock down the daily calorie count...........:D
 
Yummy with leeks in white or cheese sauce ... or mushrooms and camembert/brie mmm
 
mine were a total diasaster, had a sqaure regtangle and an unedible one so not impressed
 
Anybody know roughly how many carbs in a medium pancake? Trying to be good and haven't got my dafne cp book replaced yet so just wondering if anyone roughly knew?? 🙂

I'd guess round about 15g carbs per pancake, plus whatever you put on them 🙂

If home made add up the carbs then divide by how ever many the amount is split between.
So if the total carbs are 50 and two are sharing then it's 25 carbs each 🙂

I had 2 yummy pancakes made by my mum last night. I only put lemon juice & splenda on tho' so hopefully not too bad.

Only once a year; but cream cake today at work due to colleagues birthday probably didn't help but I did hit the gym on my way home!
