You cant beat just sugar and lemon

You can’t beat the galettes they do in Brittany.

I make them a few times a year here, they use Ble noir flour which is naturally gluten free.

I actually prefer the not top quality - the darker stuff has more flavour.

Guess I'm a philistine. Same with tea. Darjeeling first flush broken tippy-toe whatever may be the top quality tea, but I like a mug of builders brewed for several minutes.

Agave syrup is nice, as is ginger - either poured out of a jar of stem ginger, or bought as just a bottle of the stuff (handier, as you can't use much out of the jar).

Lemon curd and mascarpone.

Or go full on Little Chef retro with tinned cherries and squirty cream. Or maybe not.

We've always been very unsophisticated when it comes to pancakes. It's usually golden syrup in our family, with maybe a dribble of double cream.

Nothing wrong with golden syrup, if you like it. I don't, particularly, but that's the only reason I wouldn't have it.

Bit of useless trivia for you - Lyles Golden Syrup has the oldest branding/packaging design in the world, dates from 1885.

Also, try instead having individual Yorkshire puddings - it's the same stuff as pancakes, but you can get a lot more filling in them.

Much better is a huge fluffy single YP made in a large tray. Cut into slices. Eaten as a starter with gravy, then with the main course, and finally for afters with golden syrup.

I'm in charge of the beef dinner in our house, including prepping and cooking the Yorkshires.

A few years old that pic, and a while after the Chrimbo deep clean. Get's a lot less hammer now that we have an air fryer, but I still like to get that oven hot, for certain cooking tasks.

My family like bacon and marmalade.

OMG

 

[morqthana]

I had gammon, chips and pineapple rings.

Probably my all time fave

Not very "English" though.
