Do you make pancakes from scratch?

[topsidesoul]

Before I am kicked off of the board for good, thought I'd create a non political post.

So, do you make your pancakes from scratch or a do you buy a fill and shake bottle from the supermarket?

Also.....how important is maple syrup? Too American or too tasty?

Easy cleanup is my choice so I just buy the maple or banana flavored and fill it with  water and woolah.

Bananas/whipped cream and maple syrup!

Currently making lazy blueberry pancakes by emptying half  a can of blueberries into a shaker of pancake batter.

Not sure what to top with apart from the rest of the blueberries.

You are supposed to make them with plain flour I think but I often make them with SR they become fluffy

Same here.

If I'm camping I use the shaker but even then I've been known to make them from scratch

I'd make them from a packet. I have a recipe for buckwheat pancakes but who the hell cares?

Drown them in butter an maple syrup and nobody knows the difference.

Has to be genuine maple syrup.

drizzle with melted chocolate/ganache, add strawberries and raspberries, maybe some double cream, sprinkle with icing sugar and Bob's your Uncle.

i like the fill and shake one that has buttermilk in it. They are fluffier and tastier than the other ones

Avoid Dry Pancakes and Stop Global Warming!!!

Did you know that this is the time of year when maple trees are tapped to produce maple syrup? Maple trees thrive under certain temperature conditions and produce the sap for maple syrup because of specific temperature cycles. In the early spring, the trees generate sap when the nights are very cold and the days fairly mild. The temperature cycling causes the starch in the sap to turn into sugar and rise in the trunk. It's one of nature's delicate miracles - which will disappear if we don't do something to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are making New England winters milder with each passing year. Join the thousands of people, including Leonardo DiCaprio, James Taylor and Laird Hamilton, who are virtually marching through StopGlobalWarming.org in an effort to bring Americans together to acknowledge that global warming is one of the most important issues today. Their mission is to use the strength of the numbers to urge our government and American businesses to start a new industrial revolution and develop clean energy products. It doesn’t cost a thing to sign up to march. After all, who doesn’t want our environment to thrive and make a better future for our young people? Not to mention dry pancakes.

I make them from scratch and add some cinnamon powder in with my buckwheat pancakes.

Real Canadian Maple syrup?  A must. 🙂
