The Daily Mail has come with its
pseudo-scientific recipe for pancakes.
Just had to share with you.
Concentrate now people.
This is the science bit...
* Flips hair *
But you're worth it.
( Sorry, I couldn't resist. )
Pancake perfection! 100 - [10L - 7F + C(k - C) + T(m - T)]/(S - E)
The science: The formula was developed by researchers at the University of Wolverhampton
For the full article, click here.
The Guardian had its own recipe.
I do appreciate their take on it because they do consider every aspect and ingredient of a recipe.
I tend to try their recipes as they seem to have thought out methods and decide on the pros and cons.
For their recipe, click here.
Now, I am sure there are steadfast Delia fans out there. She is the go to for people who just want things done straight.
So here is the link to her recipe here.
Not much more to add but Delia does that to people.
You just give her the floor and she gets on with it...
Now, what would Jesus Martha Stewart do?
This is what she would do.
Please click here.
I do find it fascinating that even for a simple thing like this -
there are such nuances...
Happy Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras everyone!
Happy Shrove Tuesday! Thank you for reminding me, I've just sent a text to mum to let her know I'm popping round for one of her delicious pancakes after work.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to know whether the formula really does work, but mum may take offence if I pushed it under her nose. I may secretly try Delia's recipe too - she makes some fabulous desserts albeit not great for heart disease rates! x

@Colleen - hope you had yummy pancakes!x
ReplyDelete@Kelly - Shrove Tuesday is like - Mardi Gras aka Fat tuesday - it is the day before Ash Wednesday - for some reason we dont refer to it as Mardi Gras here and traditionally it is the day when you use up all your eggs and flour and sugar before Lent starts. x
This looks delish! Maybe should try it out....xo Caroline
