Lemon and sugar has got to be the best. Lemon first then sugar so it sticks to the Lemon, rolled up and then more Lemon and sugar on the top. just has to be said.

Just coming back to confirm the syrup and salt was a great suggestion

AndActuallyWhyYoureAtIt · 04/03/2025 18:42

We've just had lemon and sugar for round one and then strawberries and M&S hazelnut spread for dessert.

I have three.
One classic lemon and sugar.
One Nutella, strawberries and a few mini marshmallows so they go all gooey.
One golden syrup with tinned peach slices.

Three??? Feeble effort 😂😉

Just doing mine now, I have so far had a lemon and sugar and then a Nutella with strawberries and squirty cream
i think the next one will be golden syrup and I’m tempted to put some salt on it as suggested above

Crunchymum · 04/03/2025 18:29

Lemon and sugar for me.

Nutella for DC1, Nutella and banana for DC2 and Greek yogurt and berries for DC3

DP has had a mashup of Nutella, ice cream and berries.

Golden syrup and lemon juice.

Divine....

My favourite is lemon and sugar but I've also had them with evaporated milk and that's quite nice. I find the chocolate ones a bit too claggy and syrup is too rich for me.

I like sausages, beans and cheese on mine. Then a lemon one and a syrup one for dessert.

HelloCanYouHearMe · 04/03/2025 18:03

Jam all the way

TheBewleySisters · 04/03/2025 18:02

We like to start with spinach and ricotta ones, and finish with ones with lemon juice.

ladymammalade · 04/03/2025 17:59

My faves are
Ripe banana and toffee sauce, with whipped cream
Melted milk chocolate buttons...with cream or ice cream

mrspk · 04/03/2025 17:52

Always orange and sugar for me

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 04/03/2025 17:50

Lemon and sugar. Only way.

Fibrous · 04/03/2025 17:32

except vinegar and sugar.

Fibrous · 04/03/2025 17:32

all of the above.

CarpetKnees · 04/03/2025 17:29

Maple syrup here, or chopped banana with a smidgen of ice cream and some chocolate sauce.

worcesterpear · 04/03/2025 17:29

I've always had either oranges or lemons and sugar. Some recent years I have savoury pancakes too first - I'm having mushrooms in a cream and white wine sauce today, then the usual oranges/lemons and sugar.

AngelicInnocent · 04/03/2025 17:28

My DC weirdly like vinegar and sugar.

Endofyear · 04/03/2025 17:27

Made pancakes this morning - two sons staying here for a few weeks while they're waiting to move into new place. They're 28 and 24 & still want mum to make pancakes 😂 we had lemon & sugar, Nutella banana & squirty cream and then smoked salmon, cream cheese, chives, lemon & black pepper 😋 the salmon ones were definitely my favourite!

Berlinlover · 04/03/2025 17:26

Just lemon for me, my partner prefers jam and cream.

InfoSecInTheCity · 04/03/2025 17:25

Exactly the same as you OP.

NeedABabelFish · 04/03/2025 17:23

Lashings of maple syrup! Sugar and lemon is fine if no maple syrup is available.
