My very old well thumbed Milk Marketing Cookbook from the 60/70s has some lovely savory pancake receipes, which I have used over many years. A filled pancake makes a very easy and satisfying meal. But on Tuesday my wheat free pancakes will be made with white Rye flour and definately fresh lemon to squeeze over them!

Golden syrup and butter.

Spinach and ricotta filling with a tomato sauce and parmesan grated on top. Lemon and sugar is OK too.

Not sacrilege at all.
One of my favourite restaurants years ago used to be "Astérix" in the Kings Road which served traditional Norman or Breton pancakes/galettes made with white flour or buckwheat flour and every possible filling you could think of plus some you couldn't smile ???

Can't have them ?, but if I could (maybe next year) then I'm afraid dripping with golden syrup or smothered with Nutella is exactly how I would eat them. (Which probably explains why I'm not eating them this year!)

Tesco has a recipe for gluten free pancakes online and available as recipe cards in store. Tastes wonderful.

I make them with Dove gluten free flour Merlot and they are lovely.

We are planning to make traditional pancakes for DGS on Tuesday as it's our day with him, but DH purchased a new pancake pan and to try it out we had savoury (tomato & mushroom) pancakes for lunch yesterday, and they were lovely smile.

Definitely lemon and brown crunchy sugar.

rosesarered Sun 26-Feb-17 17:33:44

Golden syrup all the way for me, I make pancakes regularly as we love them(DH is a lemon and sugar man.)

phoenix Sun 26-Feb-17 17:31:44

Hope you enjoy them anyway merlot, and very pleased to hear that you too know the "proper" way to have them!

Nelliemoser Sun 26-Feb-17 17:27:54

I prefer lemon and sugar as well. There are people out there desperately tryiing to make us fat(er).

I couldn't agree more, phoenix. How anyone can ruin such a delightfully simple treat is beyond me.

They're going to have to be gluten free this year though.

Evening all, hope everyone is well.

With Shrove Tuesday nearly upon us, my thoughts turn to........pancakes!

A visit to the supermarket showed various items being promoted as being "perfect for pancakes". These included squeezy golden syrup and various types of chocolate spread.

Yesterday's Daily Telegraph included such suggestions as parmesan and spinach or rhubarb and blood Orange.shock

stop it RIGHT now!

Pancakes should be served with lemon juice and sugar, and preferably made by someone who can make them faster than I can eat them. grin
