This is pretty simple. I will tell you how to make them.
Mix 4dl of wheat flour 6 eggs (medium or large) 8dl of milk 1.5% or 3% fat. some salt. (Remember the ratio 2:3:4)
melt 25g butter and then add it to the mix.
Simple enough? Here is where most people fail.
Pour the mix into a bowl and put it in the refrigerator over the night.
Next day Fry some pancakes in a Teflon pan using some butter.
Note Many noobs think pancakes are unhealthy and will make you fat. Old people might even think it is a desert. Obviously by following this recipe, you are not exactly eating raw-protein. But considering the ingredients this is an ok-ish dish, unless you are on a low-fat diet for some reason (so 80:ies..).
In my opinion, the pan that you use for making pancakes is crucial. It has to have a superb top layer so that the pancake doesn't keep sticking to it...
I absolutely love pancakes by the way, but I almost never eat them without bacon. Guess it becomes a whole lot more unhealthy in that case?
Ok, maybe unhealthy is not the right word. But would you say eating 2 or 3 pancakes, each with let's say 2 or 3 strips of bacon on it and some syrup, is very wise if you want to be fit and maintain that sixpack I'm not talking about bodybuilding/gaining mass/growing massive and gigantic, but fit like a tennisplayer or swimmer for instance.
In fact, I know very little about food and it all seems so complicated. Any links to good source for information?
It's all about calories. As long as you consume enough protein and all the essential micronutrients you could eat pure sugar and drink olive oil if it pleases you. As long as you maintain your daily calorie balance you will stay in shape.
You might get an heart attack if you're ugly as well, so don't worry. What's your point though? That fat and sugar will get you an heart attack? If so, WRONG. :>
I eat whatever my body wants. Fruits, fine. Bacon, fine. You want beer + yogurt, mister organism? YOU GOT IT.
The only extra thing I do is work out the way I want to - crazy fast cycling! And now some paintball http://www.youtube.com/user/QuakePhil#grid/user/805C87A1CB56F090
Also: Low fat diets are never out of date. As long as the intake of the essential micronutrients are considered a high intake of fat is not necessary.
