MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
It's that time of year again, so I'm looking for inspiration.
IMHO, the classic sugar and lemon takes a lot of beating but can anyone suggest some alternative great pancake fillings....
Minced beef and onion or chicken & mushroom in tarragon sauce always get my vote 😀
Don't have to. Sugar and lemon cannot be topped.
FACT.
(Runs off to whip up a batter)
(Realises he's out of milk. Cries.)
Its today! how did I miss that! Must dash out for some lemons
Sugar and lemon is where it's at.
Tate and Lyle's can go down nicely as well, as a second choice.
Plain.
Gotta be maple syrup
Woooo I forgot about this!
Beetroot, Marmite and Olives
Vanilla ice cream, crushed pecans, maple syrup... mmmmmmmmm
Thanks PDF - I was starting to drool all over the keyboard 'till you posted that suggestion 😉
Is it really today? I'm on lates. Disaster.
Mr Feet of Cheese,
Are you pregnant?
Got to be lemon and sugar but maple syrup comes a close (ish) second.
grilled mushrooms and courgette with some small bits of chicken and some cheesy sauce.
Chicken Bacon with rocket or spinach and a little pesto drizzled on top
but!
Lemon and sugar is the one to finish it all off with for sure
Lemon and Sugar is where it's at.
**** this ooh I'm all brave and put savoury food on my pancakes.
Chicken Bacon with rocket or spinach and a little pesto drizzled on top
Tell me that's a joke
Chicken Bacon with rocket or spinach and a little pesto drizzled on top
Nope no joke, its good honest, not all pancakes have to be sweet
by going savoury you can get a Starter Main and a few deserts out of pancake day 😯
beer batter pancakes are where it's at!
Cheese is good. Also minced beef a la findus crispy pancake.
For sweet, try chocolate spread rolled up then with a load of squirty cream on it. Lovely.
Ok then,
Prawn and spinach soufflé with passion fruit and lime jelly garnished with bacon foam and fresh walnut juice. Scented with essence of ponce.
It's Pancake Day
Yes it's Pancake Day
It's p-p-p-p-p pancake day

Nutella or sugar and cinnamon [url= http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink026.gi f" target="_blank">http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink026.gi f"/> [/img][/url]
I have to agree with the savoury pancake comment - you can some really nice cheesy combo's.
Roper - where can I get said Bacon Foam - sounds delish. As for essence of ponce - that just sounds wrong on so many levels 😉
Sorry to have offended you Roper
If you don't like the sound of it, then don't cook it!!
I assumed fbk wasn't after 400 suggestions of lemon and sugar!
Nutella and amareto
Had nutella in one for lunch, and squeezed orange/honey in the other.
If I'd had time I'd have fried some mushrooms with garlic and grated some cheese though.
Always prefer savoury if I have the choice.

Yes it's Pancake Day
It's p-p-p-p-p pancake day
Woah! That show was brilliant. My mum still sings that song 8)
Put vanilla extract and cinnamon in the batter then serve with a dollop of whipped cream and maple syrup.
end of...
🙂
Another vote for cinnamon and sugar and a touch of lemon juice - yum!
Or if you like it super sweet maple syrup and lemon juice.
All pancakes ready to go for this evening 🙂
Will feel like a lard arse for eating so much, but will hopefully give me enough of a sugar high to last me through Lent.
Whilst lemon and sugar is the best I do like ones with icecream stuffed in the middle. My mum used to make wholemeal ones with cheese which were most good.
Maple syrup and squirty cream :p
Squirty cream is banned in my house....
beer batter pancakes are where it's at!
I have a secret beer batter recipe, that is unrivaled in the world of cuisine.
Pancakes. So utterly simple.
'Ooh, why don't we have them more often??'
Because it's a right mess to clean up, after...
I wasn't actually aware you could put anything else other than sugar and lemon on a pancake.
And it shall remain that way.
surprised no one's mentioned rabbit, tbh.

Maple syrup gets my vote.
I put the rabbit tag up....
ah, doesn't show in my browser, sorry.
Sugar and lemon, the best - fact.
Do like the idea of adding vanilla though. Cheese and spinich is lovely if you have to do savoury.

Now that sounds like a plan. Well, the vanilla extract bit anyway 🙂
I'm a lemon & sugar man too, but do have a soft spot for Little Chef style cherry & ice cream.
Just played the Maid Marian song for my students at the end of the lesson and they looked at me like I was a bit odd. Not sure they got it.
was Maid Marian as flat as a pancake? i'm dumber than that rabbit
i am having smoked salmon and creme cheese to start, followed by ice cream, pecan and maple syrup for afters.

Come to my restaurant - "MY old Dutch" - we serve all sorts of pancakes and are VERY bike friendly 😉
We had four kids at our house for pancakes, from three families. None of them liked pancakes!
I had pancakes with maple syrup/golden syrup and bacon.
Now I feel fat!!
I had maple syrup on mine.
I tossed mine and not a sniff of lemon
butter and marmite, yum yum.
At breakfast times in Whistler last year,more often than not,we had blueberry pancakes with maple syrup....mmmmmm......
From the kids' plates I had an assortment of chocolate spread and syrup pancakes. Three or four altogether.
I had a lemon and sugar to start, then a chocolate spread and strawberry, then a lemon, sugar and syrup.
*burp*
caramelised banana, crispy bacon, maple syrup - mmmm
Anyone been to a Pancake Place ? Does it still exist ? I remember the one in St Andrews and having such delights as Chicken Curry on a pancake !
was hoping for an explanation of "Maid Marion" reference
our kids did good - scraped some off the floor despite parental concerns
nutella, peanut butter and vanilla ice cream.
nutella, peanut butter and vanilla ice cream.
well that is my answer then - nowt to do with little john and the accuracy of his lemon juice and Maid Marions enthusiasm for whipped eggs
People - be brave. The fried egg pancake is a legend in our house. I may be the only fan but it is a legend nonetheless. And yes I know it is pancake yesterday.
antigee - see my post earlier in the thread regarding Maid Marian, catchy tune involved from the best kids show ever. Fact! 🙂
