Question. I looked up the dates of some things mentioned and am thinking this is about 20 years old and the guy would be closer to 73 than 53. Can anybody advise?

We were on the same wave length, I see. I previewed and revised my post several times - not having seen yours yet!

Happy Shrove Tuesday which in Britain is commonly know as Pancake Day, here is a traditional British pancake and the recipe.

Pancake Recipe
For a basic pancake recipe, you will need the following ingredients –

100g (4oz) plain flour
1 egg
300ml (1/2 pint) milk
optional pinch salt
sugar and lemon juice to serve
oil for frying

To make the pancake batter, add the milk, egg and then the flour and blend using an electric blender or food processor. Or if a blender is not available, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the egg and beat well. Then add the milk gradually and beat to make a smooth batter.

Heat a little oil in a large frying pan until hot and then pour enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes each side.

Serve sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice. Alternatively drizzle with golden syrup or jam. Or spread nutella on the pancake as below!
