It is easy to get into a breakfast rut. Cereal, fruit and toast are so ridiculously simple to prepare that even on weekends it seems like doing anything else is a bit of a pain. But foods that take slightly longer than opening a box of cereal are also much tastier than cereal, so what we need here is some motivation to get our culinary juices flowing on this morning. The above video is a well put-together music video of pancake making, complete with a pancake-making song that could very well have you singing along as you cook. The pancakes are the thin crepe-like British style of pancake and are served in multiple - tempting - variations that will definitely get you craving a plate of them yourself.
It doesn't include a recipe, so you might want to try out one of our eight favorite pancake recipes or some crepes, so you can experiment with different fillings as they do in the video.
Of course, if you're content with cereal for breakfast, you might just want to skip the video and go pour yourself a bowl right now.

Keeps in the fridge up to a week, the older it gets the better the flavor and texture. Make a double batch store, in jars and pour as needed. Or cook the pancakes and heat in microwaveas needed. Havent found too many mixes that have a great flavor unless it has buttermilk in it!great to do the night before, pancakes only takes a few minutes to cook!!

everyone knows you mix the batter for 10 seconds and walk away... using an electric mixer, pretty evil

The odd thing is that they are usually a dessert thing here - we hardly ever have pancakes for breakfast (what's wrong with toast?). They only get eaten once a year by a lot of people, on Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday). I always cook them then and wonder why I don't eat them more often. My family have them with stewed apple and plenty of cinnamon, mashed bananas and honey or the traditional lemon and caster sugar. Nutella is good, but a bit too rich for our taste.
