I made some bold claims about my pancakes that I'll be expected to now back up. Do you have any tips or special recipes for them? Specifically the thick and spongy kind. Please and thank you.
For the thick type just use self raising instead of plain flour. Milk, not water. Use a bit less liquid so it's thicker, you want it to sort of goop up in the middle of the pan.
My secret ingredient is to add a dash of vanilla extract. Doesn't do much but gives it that "something" people associate with a professional product and not just eggs with flour in.
Other than that it's just about what topping you put on. I'm a sweet tooth so I like a nice chocolate sauce. Couple spoons of cocoa powder and double cream heated up, job's a good 'un. I never saw the appeal of maple syrup, it's just shite golden syrup.
If you're making them for a woman and you want to look fancy and cultured, probably do strawberries and white chocolate or something daft like that. Not sure why but birds love that shit.
Easier to make French toast. Buy some brioche loaf, soak it in cream and cinnamon, fry it, then serve it and say 'oh I thought that was what you meant'.
