A PSA and a poll about pancakes (46/365)

[white_hart]

For those who are utterly adrift in time and didn't happen to glance at their calendar just now while desperately seeking inspiration for a post, tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day for those of us in the UK (and anyone else who fancies pancakes).

Possibly I should have saved the poll for tomorrow, but I might be too busy eating pancakes then. Also, I want to steal your pancake ideas.

My celiac boyfriend has made me (English) pancakes with gluten-free flour. They taste just the same as far as I can tell!

(American-style pancakes work slightly less well than their gluteny cousins, but are still worth trying.)

Agreed. My coeliac friends all seem to make very edible pancakes. Failing all that, there is the flourless banana pancake recipe.
