I'm writing this today ( Monday) since I anticipate being busy tomorrow and I might not have time to post. Are you planning on pancakes tomorrow? We'll have crepes, which we both really enjoy. We roll them up with cottage cheese then cover them with blueberry sauce. The picture is one I took the last time we had them. I'm glad DH is as fond of them as I am so we can have them often.

I bought a kitchen scale on the weekend. When I was getting the ingredients for bread into the breadmaker I measured the 4 1/2 cups of flour the way I've always done it. I scoop the flour out of the bag and shake it a bit to level it. I put that amount into a bowl then weighed it on my scale. 4 1/2 cups should, according to the chart on-line, weigh 562 grams....I had to take out about 1 Tbsp of flour, that's how close I was.
I baked Biscotti today and totally forgot to weigh the flour. They turned out fine any way.
I hope your week is off to a good start.
Thanks for visiting,

Oh Granny, those crepes look and sound delish! Yes, I think we will be making pancakes tomorrow, along with probably a lot of other people in the world!
ReplyDeleteThe crepes look delicious. Measuring by weight is so much more accurate, I find.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Shrove Tuesday until I joined the blogging world. Hubby isn't too fond of pancakes but I am so I may make some for myself. Those crepes look amazing. Is that regular cottage cheese? It looks so smooth in the photo!

I hope you have a successful busy day today! My husband and me love crepes, too. We use happy eggs from my little farm, milk and applesauce. Easy to make and very delicious. Your crepes look VERY delicious! Good idea to test this variant.
ReplyDeleteWe also love crepes...with lemon juice and powdered sugar...the German way. Yours look wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI also use a scale when baking...things always turn out better.

Yummy!!
ReplyDeleteAnd homemade bread to boot!
Got butter?!!
That looks delicious GM. I keep saying I am going to get some Kitchen scales and haven't done that yet. Happy Week to you. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh my those crepes look delicious.
ReplyDeleteGM you are an amazing cook! That looks delicious! My sister is a great cook and uses a kitchen scale for lots of things.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE crepes, too!!! I totally forgot this was Fat Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteLouis Dean always uses a scale when he bakes his cinnamon rolls or dinner rolls. They are ALL exactly the very same size!!
I also have a kitchen scale, but I rarely use them... Eye measuring works for me too :-)
ReplyDeleteYour crapes look wonderful, I would taste very good.
I had pancakes on Shrove Monday and Shrove Tuesday... I buy them from the selected baker - they are so good that I don't bake them myself.
Many greetings to you.
I've never weighed flour. Our receipes always give cup or ounces for the measurement so no need to weigh most items. I've not made crepes, and pancakes I've not made in years. I like French toast with syrup, but most generally make an omlet when we're having a brunch.
ReplyDeleteI was unaware that pancakes, or crepes, were a tradition but a French blogger mentioned them a week or so ago for another named day, both with religious significance. Growing up we never heard of Fat Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYour crepes look delicious.
I bought a kitchen scale at the thrift store last year and it has been a big help with my canning. Makes me wonder how I managed without one all these years! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCrepes/pancakes can be so delicious.
ReplyDeleteBelated good wishes for Shrove Tuesday.
All the best Jan
I do like crepes, and yours do look lovely. With all that baking your place must smell wonderful. I do have a scale, it comes in hand for those recipes which do not have the standard measurements.
