Has to be nutella and banana for me.

Do you do savoury pancakes on Shove Tuesday?

You can make these amazing parcels of savoury filling using thing crepes! You put the filling and close it like a square envelope and cook it again in the pan, it’s delicious 🤤 you can use whatever you fancy, bacon and spinach and cheese, blue cheese or ricotta, anything really.

*thin crepes

Madeintowerhamlets · 24/02/2022 22:30

Maple syrup and squirty cream!

AutomaticMoon · 24/02/2022 22:30

I love sour cherries for sweet crepes, sour cherry and clotted cream is divine ♥️

gingerhills · 24/02/2022 22:31

lemon and sugar
or fresh strawberries, raspberries and whipped vanilla cream
Not keen on chocolate spread

For savoury pancakes only buckwheat galettes with gruyere and bayonne ham, topped with a poached egg and salad, like they serve it in Normandy.

OK, I'd try that!

I love lemon and sugar, but I'm off sugar, so this morning we had pancakes filled with chopped ham and grated cheddar.

NYnewstart · 24/02/2022 22:33

Fried onion, bacon and chopped chilli with a little grated cheese.

Followed by

Nutella

PrettyBluebells · 24/02/2022 22:34

Turkey and ham in a béchamel sauce, on Boxing Day. Bloody lush.

On Tuesday I'll probably have banana and cream.

RoyKentsChestHair · 24/02/2022 22:40

Nutella and roasted chopped hazelnuts - like a giant Ferraro rocher 😋 or lemon and sugar.

On American pancakes it’s always butter, maple syrup and smoked crispy bacon, ideally with some strawberries and bananas on the side too - hedging my bets!

Ilovetommycat · 24/02/2022 22:47

Sweet pancakes usually just lemon and sugar but if going all out I love stewed apple and vanilla ice-cream.
For savoury it has to be cheese and spinach.

Squiff70 · 24/02/2022 23:26

Lemon juice and sugar. Nothing comes close!

iklboo · 24/02/2022 23:30

Savoury - chicken, bacon, mushroom & sweetcorn, in a sauce made from condensed soup.

Sweet - peanut butter & raspberry jam

Dammitthisisshit · 24/02/2022 23:51

I made buckwheat pancakes the other day with cheddar (melted on the cooked side when you turn them over) and homemade guacamole. It was a bit if an emergency ‘what have we got in to cook meal’ but was surprisingly good - going to do it again.

For American style breakfast pancakes it’s got to be proper maple syrup. With berries to make it less sickly.

I like the concept of lemon and sugar but don’t like crunchy sugar.

TheSmallAssassin · 24/02/2022 23:55

Lemon and sugar, can't be beat.

Damnloginpopup · 25/02/2022 06:05

Lemon and sugar is by far the best. I've tried so many different things, mostly nice but just wrong!

SquitMcJit · 25/02/2022 06:23

Cheese and marmite

Orange and golden syrup

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 25/02/2022 07:26

Lemon and sugar, but I’m also tempted to have some crepes Suzette style - sauce of butter, sugar, orange and lemon juice, plus orange liqueur. Two each for me and dh, folded into quarters in the sauce. Yum.

sueelleker · 25/02/2022 09:58

I prefer lime juice to lemon-it has more zing to it.

purplesequins · 25/02/2022 10:01

peanut butter, banana, cinnamon

applesauce, cinnamon

and the first one will be chicken & pesto

LyricalBlowToTheJaw · 25/02/2022 10:04

Another one in the lemon and sugar camp. I do like a nutella and strawberry one but only with nice, in season berries so that has to be a summer treat.

Iamkmackered1979 · 25/02/2022 10:10

I’m with the lemon and sugar gang too, bought lemons yesterday. However those thin Crepes are lovely but my son prefers a thicker American type pancake but I can’t make them not sure what I do wrong so if anyone out there has a good recipe and some hints on how to make really good pancakes I’d be v grateful 😊
Now v hungry
Savoury crepes I’ve had were chicken with a creamy sauce with tarragon in, they are delicious

hoorayandupsherises · 25/02/2022 10:14

Speculoos spread. Divine.

Although I have a Xanthe Clay recipe that has a creamy smoked fish and spinach filling with cinnamon and spinach and parmesan in the pancakes that is also exceedingly delicious, so it was a close call.

EenieWeenie · 25/02/2022 11:55

Saving this thread to copy some of these ideas, I'm salivating now Grin

HopingForMyRainbowBaby · 25/02/2022 12:37

Strawberry jam
Lemon and sugar
Golden syrup
Rich meaty gravy

Not all on the same pancake!
