Pancake Tuesday; What do you have on your pancake?

Cathmandooo

Oooh I'm liking all the ideas!

I'm having Pancake Monday tonight as I will be out all evening tomorrow.

I'd usually just have lemon and sugar, might have one with honey and for dessert might have a bit of chocolate spread on my last

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

IMO the cheaper brands taste awful. My favourite brand of maple syrup is "Shady Maple Farms"

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

Why don't you like them sweet?

I just don't like them sweet.

There is no reason for it.

Love pancakes! Smoked salmon, cream cheese and chive! Yum

Also a big fan of crispy bacon and maple syrup!

For sweet pancakes, I love greek yogurt and honey!

Hungry just thinking about it!

I made pancakes last night cos I had some friends around.

My topping of the evening was vanilla icecream and crushed malteasers. Yum!

On 4th nutella crepe, if it was pancakes I could of only managed one.
About to have a heart attack but other than that very nice!

My pancakes were a disaster
I have made pancakes every year for the past 6 years, and I can't remember having this problem. The batter kept sticking to my pan, or breaking up. Maybe it's not thick enough.
I have just read another posters recipe, but I never did them that way. Although it sounds great. So could anyone tell me what ingredients/methods you used, please?
I failed pancake making :eek: :eek: :eek:

I love butter, sugar and lemon juice topping!

Add oil or melted butter to the batter to prevent sticking. And leave in the fridge for 2 hrs after whisking to allow the flour to hydrate fully and thicken. You can also add grated lemon zest to the batter for extra "zing."

Thank you for your response Magic.Monkey. I would have tried that but I didn't have a real lemon, only the bottle of juice.

SUCCESS!!! I had already left the mixture in the fridge, so I had more flour to thicken it more. I also had the heat on too high, when I lowered it, the batter didn't stick and burn.
I made five successful pancakes, 2 for me and 3 for my bf.
I guess it just took practice!

Did you have the pankcakes hot or cold with the ice cream and malteasers?

Would love to try this, but not sure whether to have the pankcake shot or cold.

Mmm, pancakes. Made some last night and will be finishing off the eggs and milk tonight.

I just wonder how people eat them, not so much with the topping, but the method. I always roll them up and stuff them in my gob, but my gf had a mess of stuff on it so that wouldn't have worked. She first tried folding it up like a fajita, and then she resorted to cutting it up with a knife and fork which I found comical.

Depends on the pancake. Crepes get rolled, of course. The thick "American breakfast pancake" (far and away my favourite) really needs the knife and fork, particularly if you're going for the bacon as well. The medium thickness ones... well, I've been known to use them like slices of bread, and the toppings as fillings for what's effectively a sandwich.

That's my fav too, and much quicker to make than fannying around with the crepe. I always use a knife and fork - don't really like eating messy food with my hands!

I have loads of batter left for tonight as well - YUM!

Thin crepes wrapped around stewed apple with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dollop of vanilla ice cream....

Didn't get them that way this year though cos I'm dependent on an office canteen for food at the moment and have no cooking facilities

I'm normally not a big fan of ice cream, but at home in Sweden we usually put ice cream on our pancakes. Its really good:)
