What do you eat with your pancakes?

[Remmie]

£50 for a frying pan for pancakes?? Are you Lord Irvine or someone? I'd be eating pancakes for breakfast, lunch/dinner & dinner/tea if I had spent that much on a pan.

I didn't pay for it.

 

It's fucking ace though.

[Paul]

But I have savoury and sweet toppings using the same batter. Wild mushrooms and goat's cheese, or Basil, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella with some lemon juice is magic. Plus I use this awesome £50 pancake pan.

 

Sweet I'll go with honey and greek yoghurt or pretty much anything I got going spare that's sweet- sorbet, fruit, jam. Experiment, man, groovy!

 

I've become Paul.

 

Don't fight it Rem; feel it. When's your new Sky+ box arriving?

 

On the more important issue of how to serve pancakes on the big day, I'm down with the boy Kavanagh-Grover here. We have sweet and savoury. Usually it's a baked cheese and ham type affair with some white wine and leeks in the mix to start things off. Then we go sweet with a banana split type option for the kids and a crepe suzette kind of vibe for the adults.

 

I should also state at this point that we are usually firm adherents to the American principle of making them thick and serving them for breaky with butter, maple syrup and bacon. However, for pancake day, we go thin and traditional.

If we're just talking sweet then I will have a bit of anything really but if pushed I would choose fruit. Cherries with a balsamic saucy thing rules, as do blueberries.

American style pancakes are to be topped with sweet stuffs such as ice cream and maple syrup or toffee sauce.

 

Normal British pancakes can go a variety of ways. One of my favourites is to get them when they're still hot and throw a load of chocolate buttons on them then roll them up and let them melt.

 

Another, more savoury method is to throw the contents of a fry up, such as cut up sausages, bacon, bits of fried bread and scrambled egg in to the mixture and make a sort of big breakfast pancake omelette type job.

 

Obviously I don't make these, I ask someone to do them for me. They're still delicious though.

Fuck it, I've been shopping and forgotten the lot.

Fuck it, I've been shopping and forgotten the lot.

 

Balls me too and I've got a formal hearing tomorrow and won't get chance to post all day...

I would like to point out that I am fully in favour of thick and thin, savoury and sweet, but for the benefit of the poll, I wanted thin and sweet.

Lemon juice and sugar, anything else is borderline American and ergo very wrong.

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

Is it pancake day today then?

You're absolutely right to clarify the issue, Jim. Pancakes are a serious business.

[Ian Sea]

I don't like pancakes.

sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice

Savoury. Sweet pancakes are gay pancakes for gay boys. Fact.
