Pancakes & Book Launch Photographs
>> Sunday, 6 March 2011
Whew, I am barely making it to the weekend deadline of posting.
Given that Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday or as we like to say Pancake Day, let's go crazy and batter up! Pour it, swirl it or drop it. Whether you make the traditional flat pancakes or the Portuguese-inspired Malasadas, that's a favourite in Guyana, be sure not to miss having pancakes on this official day that we get to really indulge.
Whether you make them small or large, stack 'em high and watch them disappear. Here's the recipe for the fried pancakes (malasadas), including a step-by-step demo. You'll find a recipe for homemade syrup too. I think that everyone knows how to make the flat pancakes right?
I have finally gotten a chance to download some images of the book launch and am sharing them with you. Please click here to see the set.

I'm off to grade papers now.
Have a great week everyone.

I think everyday should be pancake day. Of course I freely admit we had breakfast for dinner here tonight- waffles, bacon and oranges with blueberries (to make it kinda healthy). :) These look terrific, Cynthia.
Hi Cynthia!
How are you? I love the last pic here.
That is great. I am so happy for you!
Yummy pancakes!
Cheers,
Rosa
Perhaps we'll have pancakes for dinner today, as we've already finished breakfast. ;)
Wowo so fluffy looking pancakes.
Congratulations on your book, Cynthia! What a beauty it is too!
We celebrate Pancake Day every year with something different. Nothing like having breakfast for dinner. Congratulations also on your second book!!!!!
How great that your entire family was at the book launch! It looks like it was a great occasion.
Wow, do those pancakes look good! I echo the Make Every Day Pancake Day sentiment from Laura.

Hi Cynthia
When will you have your first signing in Barbados?
I was happy to read this story about Guyana Pancakes. Thanks for the history. My friend, Jackie, who is Guyanese of Portuguese descent, shared her grandmother's recipe so many years ago and my mother made it every year and still does here in Maryland. She adds some fresh lime peel and a few glace cherries to her syrup. Delicious! I remember that our neighbors shared pancakes with us every year. Inevitably, we compared whose was the lightest. Thanks for encouraging some wonderful memories.
I saw your book launch photos, Cynthia! It seems to have been a happy and well-attended event, and it is nice to see the family and friends behind your blog.
Forgot about pancake day. We had pancakes here too but gluten free. trust me not as nice as your Portuguese ones
