Pancake Party - new record...117!!

A new all-time record was made...117 PANCAKES!! Our previous record, a rather dismal 69, even more impressive was that it was achieved by our two "first-timers", Paul and Amy...

The Pancake Party started officially at 7pm, but at 6pm Petra, Amy, Paul and I got together to start making the pancakes. Both Paul and Amy were "beginners" with regard to the art of pancake making so it was up to Petra and I to teach them the skill of Pancake frying.

Paul was a natural from the beginning, however did need some practice to get the wrist action 100% correct...and by the end of the evening he had progressed from making funny square shaped pancakes to round pancakes.

We ended up feeding 16 people. Everyone had to bring one filling too! We had everything from jam (4 different types), to grapes & bananas, ice-cream, to coconut cream filling and chocolate spread!

I was given the challenge of trying all fillings at once on one pancake, of course i HAD to try it! The pancake after i had added all the fillings..YUM!

During the pancake making, there was always someone to keep count on the number of pancakes being made (as can be seen in the picture below).
