memoirs of a pancake.

Tuesday, February 5th, was Pancake Day in Ireland. I have no idea if it was Pancake Day in any other country, but in order to compensate for potential missed holiday celebrations across the world, our house decided to make pancakes all day from every country we knew how. Which meant just 4: America, Ireland, Germany and France.

Between the hours of 2-4 pm, we created our version of German pancakes for lunch (see recipe below). Our roommates from Germany told us how to make them, so we knew they were authentic. This one especially was quite good, but no picture documentation occurred because we remembered our camera after finishing it off. But it was super good.

German pancake:
2 eggs
1.5-2 spoonfuls of flour
some milk
random ingredients found in your refrigerator that need to be eaten.
-whisk first 3 ingredients together and create a large, pan-sized omelet/crepe.
-flip pan-sized omelet/crepe.

For lunch dessert, we had French pancakes: aka crepes. We then put Nutella, bananas, and honey on them and they may or may not have been the best 'pancakes' ever.

French pancake:
-look up recipe online. I have no idea how to make them because Johnny did it.

For dinner, we had American pancakes. These were quite good as well, but nothing special because I've had an American pancake once or twice in my life. Except I did add blueberries and chocolate chunks to add some interest.

American pancake:
-see French pancake directions.

For dinner dessert, we had Irish pancakes. These were basically a mix between the American pancake and the French one, but instead of maple syrup you squeezed a lemon all over it (a large pan-sized pancake once again), and then sprinkled sugar on top and rolled it up in a log and ate it that way. These were pretty good as well.


February 5th was a good day.
