Last year I made no pancakes. This year, to avoid repeating the disappointment I made sure that Shrove Tuesday 2008 was full of crepes and wasn't crap. My culinary attempts tasted awesome and I even managed to make a inflatable one completely by accident (when I flipped it it just started to expand and no I didn't use self raising flour. See photo for proof)
In the end it seems Delia Smith lies through her teeth. I only managed to make six and a half when the recipe promises 12 to 14.
