Pancakes, do you go wild with the toppings?

Or are you a simple lemon soul like me?grin

Lemon and sugar or chocolate spread are my favourites.

I will be making pancakes later with a sprinkling of sugar and maple syrup on top (because we have no lemon in and I usually make Scotch pancakes, for which we have the maple syrup).

We have now had the aforementioned pancakes and I have to say they were delicious.

Lovely sharp lemon for me with just a little bit of sugar...

I will shortly be making my pancakes. I make my own but I do see mixes and bottles in supermarkets. Husband eats whatever I give him. 🤣. Daughter is the same.

My favourite filling is chopped banana with whipped cream on top. My son just likes lemon, sugar and sometimes some maple syrup.

Another lemon and sugar though I do like maple syrup as well.

My favourite would be chocolate spread and bananas. Sadly , none for me , diabetes sugar levels to watch.

Lemon and sugar for me

Lemon and sugar, perhaps a few raisins. 😋 I used to like syrup and cream but I find that too sweet these days.

TheSunRisesInTheEast Tue 17-Feb-26 14:57:19

I like cherry pie filling and ice cream with my pancake(s), just like you used to get in Little Chef 😋

Lemon and sugar for me, toffee sauce for DH.

Years ago we both worked in Holborn and used to go to a pancake house called My Old Dutch after work now and again. Anyone else remember it? Don't know if it's still there. All sorts of savoury and sweet pancakes 😋

NotSpaghetti Tue 17-Feb-26 12:35:25

I like spinach and a mix of cottage cheese and feta in my pancakes, baked in rolls in the oven with a fresh tomato sauce over.

M0nica Tue 17-Feb-26 12:16:20

Butter and golden syrup, but I also make savoury pancakes so we can have a 2 course pancake meal.

First course, pancakes filled with bolognaise and rolled up with cheese sauce on top. Afters: as above, start of this post.

Marmite is a favourite in our house smile

David49 Tue 17-Feb-26 10:43:31

Simple please, sugar and lemon juice

What are others giving up for Lent ?

MiniMoon Tue 17-Feb-26 10:35:23

It's lemon and sugar for me. DH likes a drizzle of maple syrup on his.

Lemon and sugar is all it needs to be perfect.

No! Lemon, sugar and syrup = perfection smile

I used to make savory pancakes first and then sweet ones for pudding when there were 7 of us.
It took forever.
3 big pans on the go!

Depends a bit on what you call 'pancakes'. We always used to make thin pancakes or 'crepes' but in the USA and Canada they seem to favour thicker ones (like 'Scotch' pancakes) where you can add items to the batter before frying it.

Esmay Tue 17-Feb-26 09:08:50

I love the sharpness of the lemon and the crunch of the sugar on a pancake.

Grannybags Tue 17-Feb-26 09:06:28

Lemon and sugar for me too.

MartavTaurus Tue 17-Feb-26 09:01:36

Salted caramel spread. 😋

merlotgran Tue 17-Feb-26 08:54:51

Lemon and sugar for me. Never anything else.

Redhead56 Tue 17-Feb-26 08:48:28

Lemon and sugar for thin pancakes my favourite any time of year. I make American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup usually weekends.
