Pancake Tuesday; What do you have on your pancake?

RandolphEsq

Lemon and Sugar for me; in abundance! Thin pancakes.
Alternatively; real butter and sugar.

I'm not a big fan of Nutella on my pancakes

Pancakes with crispy rashers and maple syrup is yum, but Nutella has to be the one pour moi.

Firstly because it isn't sweet or nice sounding.
Secondly because butter is already salted.

Why don't you like them sweet?

Malari

Savoury: Chicken and bacon pie mix

Sweet: Toffee sauce

Pembily

Just a bit of sugar Plain, simple and heart warming!!

RandolphEsq

I think I'll only eat pancakes tomorrow!

gothwalk

Syrup. But, um, not maple (good and all as it is), but, um, golden syrup. Yes, I'm aware this is tantamount to surrendering my foodie card. It's the spice burger of pancake toppings. But I really like it.

chillin_penguin

Chocolate spread for me

Radiotower

a friend told me he put a star bar or a moro (cant rem which) into a pancake, rolled the pancake around the bar and ate it with a knife and fork - think i might try that this year. Might pick up a few other bars to experiment with!!!

Some people have fixed ideas about food, like you can only eat pigs before 11am and I have yet to hear a good reason for it, but its true, many people think it really odd to eat chicken or cows early -pigs? work away!

Pancakes are just batter, I would add no sugar to the mix in the first place. I like salt on a batter cod and view this the same. One guy said chicken curry & rice, I do the same, it acts sort of like a naan bread. I like chicken balls & curry sauce, I fry up chicken and pour pancake mix over it to make a giant chicken pancake which is dipped in curry sauce.

Maple syrup is my favourite "normal topping", pricey stuff though, did anybody spot any offers?

Aldi have it, can't remember the price but its not expensive!

Put a 400g bag of frozen raspberries, 3 tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of Cointreau into a shallow baking tray, covered with foil and cooked for about 40 minutes at 190C - nice and mushy after that. Only takes 20 minutes with fresh berries.

Also love Nutella but I ban myself from buying it due to issues involving a spoon and an opened jar:eek:
