Yeah, I'm back...
It's been a fun evening, and the pancake party got into a real swing. After saying before that, I was concerned that Hannah and John would wreck my kitchen, I managed to do a fabulous job all by myself.
Not only did I manage to get a full egg all over my work surface (I was chasing it to the end of the worktop and then trying to get it up off the floor).
I then managed to spill oil out of my frying pan onto my induction hob; then I managed to spill sugar all over my table, so it took me the best part of half an hour mopping everything up before we got into a real swing of things. We even had to make extra pancake batter so we could all have a go at pancake tossing, getting the temperature right and getting into a rhythm but we got there in the end.
We were that concerned with getting the pancakes done, we forgot about the plates, sauces, fruits, fillings or anything that we needed. John quite happily made his pancake sat down at the table and tucked into it whilst me and Han we're trying to get the pancakes going! His response well I don't want it to get cold!
I did some fabulous pancake tosses that nobody got a picture or video of and then Han made me do a few more pancakes, so we ended up with this near-perfect one.
Han did her pancake toss, and it landed splat on my floor (so when we finished I had to clean that too!)
Han was made up with all the pancakes and was quite happily adding all her syrups and sugars to them.
This is John's nicely rolled and slightly devoured pancake, we just threw ours on the plate and tucked in!
I think next year when we do them we will have an order of things and get into a better groove but to be honest, although it was a bit of a mish-mash we had plenty of fun.
