I offered to make pancakes for my 8 year old grandson. Self-raising flour, spoonful of cornflour, dash of milk, olive oil, pinch of baking powder, dod of butter and a few grains of sugar, one egg and high speed whisking, into a buttered frying pan. With grated cheese, syrup and jam ready to load on to the finished article I asked him if they were the best he had ever tasted. He said no. His mum's were better. I asked," Does she use Auntie Bessie's Readymix ?" No, she just buys them from Morrison's.
I don't make Pancakes any more, and I won't be doing a Layer Cake of Repaired pix either, cheers
