edogawa rando posted:How though? They're easy as piss. Do you only do them on Shrove Tuesday or something? Yeah, a lot of people only make pancakes at home on Shrove Tuesday ("Pancake Day" as it's probably better known here, lol) so we don't really get much practice. We just don't really have it in our culture I guess. Usually said pancakes would be a dessert too rather than a breakfast or brunch so yeah, it's a bit arse backwards. In recent times it's easier to get better pancakes eating out as we've got more of a brunch culture, but in the home...yeeeah, not good. We do have Yorkshire Puddings of course, which are similar but different. I think they're a little like the American "Dutch Baby" only smaller and almost always savoury, served with a roast dinner.

British pancakes remind me a lot of Danish pancakes which gets served one a a time and topped various jams (blueberry, strawberry, et cetera), powdered sugar, ganulated sugar, or maple syrup.

We are starting to see pancakes a lot more on breakfast menus, but weirdly we don't tend to make them at home very much. Like eating Turkey at Christmas it just seems to be a thing everyone does once a year to the point that Tescos will often have a 'pancake day' display in the run up.

I just wish we had easier access to American biscuits here. Those ones you get in the little cans that go in the fridge and you get them out and bake them? I love them. I'm sure they're easy to make but I cannot emphasize my laziness enough.

It feels like Chuck was like Linkara in that he leaned more right-ish (or centrist) when he started and has drifted left over the years.

I've never had an American biscuit, although I find it funny that the notion of "Biscuits and Gravy" over here can produce as much revulsion as Americans tend to feel about Beans on Toast. Probably because, I dunno, we think that it's dunking a McVities digestive into a jug of Bisto or something.

To be fair, I think Hopper means the flaky kind that needs layered butter in them. Which still isn’t hard it’s just more time consuming to do by hand.

A lot of people say that the American biscuit is similar to scones, although scones are again a sweet item that you would put clotted cream and some jam on (they are also incredible). OR, I've also heard that they're similar to uk dumplings, but then I can't imagine that they involve suet at all. Certainly the useful tool posted there for incorporating butter into biscuits isn't something we have at all, I'm afraid. I still think the main thing to take from this whole discussion is that..well, yeah. We are pretty loving poo poo at food kind of. I mean, we do do good things -- a nice roast dinner here, a plate of fish and chips there, a delicious fry-up chock full of black pudding and so on -- but generally, yes we're poo poo and the stereotypes are basically true. London is a great city for food for many reasons and literally NONE of them are anything to do with English food. I mean, unless you really fancy eating pie and mash or something. Certainly the more English food is better in the North than in the South, and I say that as a Southerner.

I believe that a US style pancake is known as a "flapjack" in the UK. Or maybe someone told that to me as a joke once and I believed it. Also that hbomb video rules.

Certainly the useful tool posted there for incorporating butter into biscuits isn't something we have at all, I'm afraid. There's scones in the US, too, though maybe that's more of a modern cafe trend that's gotten common. Scones and American biscuits are baked in a similar way, with flour and a leavening agent like baking powder, but biscuits might include the butter for pastry-like layers, depending on how dense you want the biscuits. The big difference is that biscuits come out I guess with a more "neutral" salty/buttery flavor because it's expected to be a side you put butter, honey, or jelly on. ... so in a way they're a lot like British pancakes.

Biscuits is normally a side with fried chicken, isn't it? Or at least, I've seen them in American KFC videos. If Americans are taking a liking to scones like we're getting a taste for proper American pancakes, that's good. Scones with clotted cream and jam is absolute top-tier food. Mind you, it is funny -- it's often common over here to dog on Americans for really fatty foods and all that, but then clotted cream is basically the absolute most fattening thing you can possibly make.

Served with fried chicken for dinner or lunch, or as a side for breakfast. Or sometimes just as the main dish itself https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuits_and_gravy They're generally more common in the south, but they're available everywhere including being used for the bread on breakfast sandwiches in gas stations and in fast food American scones tend to be drier, glazed or powder sugared, and filled with mixins like raisins, blueberries, or cinnamon chips, and eaten without accoutrements, except butter in some cases.

I am going to be the acknowledger that Hbomb specifically posted that poo poo picture of a pancake to showcase how bad the mix he used for it was, and also the acknowledger that he can make a decent one if done without a mix.

IDK about other places but here in Norway it's mostly that pancakes are more often eaten with sweet toppings (jams, powdered sugar, honey, fresh berries, syrups, etc) than savory ones. And pancakes with sweet toppings are seen as way too sugary to eat frequently. I usually have pancakes a couple times a year probably. It works well as a dessert but personally at least I just don't bother going to the effort of cooking them over just grabbing some ice cream or whatever if I'm having dessert. I've never had pancakes for breakfast or similar. Pancakes with bacon would probably be pretty nice as a breakfast. But we Norwegians are both very boring and very lazy with our breakfast so  I only eat muesli with milk or slices of bread.

Bacon pancakes felt like a meme to me for a long time but they're actually bloody amazing. Proper good sweet and savoury stuff. A taste sensation. Not so sure about chicken, waffles and syrup, mind you. I had that once and I can't say that I approved of it at all.
