This is grilling it in UK terms isn't it?

You're having eggs too, right? And coffee and OJ?

We weren't, but there is egg in the pancake already, so I daren't push it with the borrowing from the store cupboard We've not had them for breakfast, mostly because we breakfast at different times. I might suggest to Mum that she cooks Dad an American breakfast - she's got the pancake side of things sorted anyway.

I think that's what we'll have to do - it was just that I was hogging (!) the part of the oven where the grill is. And it's a lot more cleaning up than using the GF. Mum's oven is only a few years old and she waited so long to get it she is still very precious about it. She had the previous one for about 20 years and wants this one to last as long again.

Thanks for the advice peoples.
I'll try the buckwheat ones next and save what's left of the buttermilk for the others on Boxing Day.

I'm following this thread with interest ... just not had the time for culinary experimentation as I'm too busy going out and playing carols ... (lah lah lah!) ...

No, she's suggesting cooking them on the grill pan in a hot oven -the heat would be more indirect, but no need to turn.

I just cooked about a squillion of your American pancakes for the girls at Hebe's sleepover birthday party. And served with that concoction you call pancake syrup. Although most opted for the chocolate syrup. and the healthy fruit and cereal options were left completely untouched!
