What do you put on your pancakes ?

Always lemon and sugar. Although yesterday I made scotch pancakes, the little sweet ones, and I just had butter on mine. Grandpajet had cranberry sauce on his.

Fresh lemon juice ? and sugar. To me they are the best.
The worst I’ve had were on a maternity ward the year I was about to have a C-section. We were served pancakes and I kid you not they were as tough as vinyl 45 records (not that I’ve ever eaten one of those).

House guests? I wish?

For me, lemon and sugar, but I’ve got a lot of house guests this year, and I’ve been told we need strawberries, chocolate sauce, maple syrup, bananas, ice cream, how did something so simple get so complicated?

Lemon, bit of sugar, golden syrup.

Back in the early 70’s, our new manager at work invited the staff to a get-together at his home. Along with the usual crisps and nuts, his wife served up these little savoury pancakes, filled with a cheesy sauce.

I was so impressed, my unsophisticated 18 year old self had only ever had pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, and never savoury ones.

Only later did I realise they were probably from the supermarket, Findus or Birds Eye.

I won't be eating pancakes today but my choice of topping would be sugar and lemon. Second choice golden syrup.

Definitely lemon and sugar.

Oh blast, I forgot it was pancake day too and we’ve had our dinner now. Usually lemon and sugar but sometimes maple syrup and strawberries.

Lemon and sugar on Pancake Tuesday because that’s traditional but at other times I come over all American and have butter or cream and maple syrup and sometimes fresh fruit.
Sometimes I make savoury pancakes & fill them with chilli beans, or salmon & asparagus is another one. ?

Are you traditional with lemon and sugar or do you like to ring the changes ?
Savoury maybe rather than sweet ?

Lemon and sugar here normally but I forgot that it was Shrove Tuesday and only have one lemon in stock , so will rustle up some cherry sauce from frozen berries and serve with some left over cream .
