happiness is a large plate of pancakes, and nine wow! :notworthy
D'you mean pancakes or crepes ?
I made 4doz pancakes this evening (wee round ones, about the size of the palm of my hand) HWMBLT and Son2 have so far cleared near 3doz of them
Covered them in everything from butter to blackcurrant jam to nutty peanut butter and chocolate spread.
Crepes they just eat with lemon juice and sugar.
cheers,
Toddy

sound more like drop scones to me? Scotch pancakes...
Yeah, I even cooked them on the girdle 
I know; Scot's cooking terms are sometimes different.
I do make the big saucer sized ones sometimes too though, but usually only for a pudding. Is that what Shewie meant ?
Crepes are thin pancakes that we roll up or stack with stuff between the layers.

my recipe's heavier on the sugar and eggs than that one though.

I think English pancakes are different to both crepes and gallettes.
My mix:
2 eggs
100g plain flour
200 ml milk
50 ml water
Crepes don't disintegrate as easily and are generally drier. Gallettes are made with a special wholemeal flour and are more substantial still.

French crepes or English pancakes are what I meant Mary, a similar mix to Mike
2 eggs
200g plain flour
500ml of milk
pinch of salt
A knob of lard for cooking
I want to try the Canadian buttercream ones, I got a bit of a taste for them last time we were over.

Crepes
Gallettes are oatcakes Galette d'avoine.
Scottish pancakes......
12oz self raising flour.
2 heaped teaspoonsful baking powder.
6 full puddingspoonsful of caster sugar.
2 or 3 eggs.
Milk to mix into a thick double cream like batter. Sour milk or if you have left over cream is fine in the mix.
If you have no fresh milk carnation works fine. Handy at camp
Put the girdle onto heat. Medium hot (4 on an electric cooker)
Use a balloon whisk and mix all the flour, sugar and bp together in a bowl (that's a baking bowl not a sink bowl, we call those basins)
Make a well in the middle and break in the eggs. Cover those with milk and whisk, keep bringing in the flour from the edges of the well, add more milk as needed.
I use an old fashioned soup spoon and get fourspoonsful at a time on the girdle. The big old fashioned girdle that doesn't fit my modern cooker lets me cook eight or nine at a time.
I oil the girdle and wipe it with an oily kitchen towel between batches. I just use olive oil.
4 gets a bit too hot, so turn it down to 3 every so often and when they don't rise so well when turned shift it up again.
If they don't lift clean, it's not hot enough. The batter should sizzle not burn though.
Crepes get made with a little icing sugar, not much, a wee bit of cream, no added baking powder, and cooked in a good shallow pan that I can toss them over easily in.

Well I just sat and ate them as fast as the wife cooked them. At one pint she said "There's only enough batter fo another one, will you want any more after that".
I said no, I must have had 4 by now, she said "More like 8" and laughed. So I had the last one too (she doesn't like them!)
So that's a draw Shewie!

We used my wife's new steel crepe pan for the first time - we'd seasoned it a few weeks ago, but I was amazed at how non-stick it was. Way better than the usual "non-stick" pans we use. Makes me wonder why teflon lined pans took over from well seasoned steel or cast iron.

You people are making me hungry.
I am yet to taste one this year, I like just lemon and a little sugar.

I only had 5 but that was after a good size bowl of pasta alla carbonara
Just before xmas I gave American pancakes a try they are actually really good too, nice and buttery but for pancake day good ol' British pancakes are the order of the day.

Well it was my first year in as long as I can remember that I didn't have any. The kids did but I just didn't fancy having them at all.

No pancakes here, going to try a sad waffle today,
