If you do pancakes on pancake day, what will you make yours with? Any favourite recipes to share?

BBC Good Food’s American blueberry pancakes for breakfast. It’s legendary in our house. English style in the evening for pudding. Lemon and sugar always!

We like to keep things simple.
DD will insist on Nutella and sprinkles
DP will have tomato ketchupShock
I will have treacle
DS will want his plain

I love the sound of treacle @KylieCharlene, any particular type that goes well, dark or medium?

American blueberry pancakes sound gorgeous @Fivemoreminutes1

No time at breakfast so they’ll be supper for us.

A couple of years ago we all discovered that our favourites were cheese and ham, then we’ll all have sweet ones. Lemon and sugar for me, chocolate spread and berries for DD1 and maple syrup, squirty cream and fruit for DD2 - she might have sprinkles too!!

LadyCordeliaFitzgerald · 27/02/2022 19:20

Crepes with lemon and sugar as an after school snack with lots of competitive tossing (the trick to avoiding injuries is to transfer the pancake to a cold pan and have siblings stand well back out of pan-whacking range).

Ham and cheese galettes for supper (with French cider for the grown ups)

KylieCharlene · 27/02/2022 19:25

Lyle's black treacle is my favourite.
I'm also happy with their golden syrup.
( Love treacle on Yorkshire puddings too)

BrownJenkins · 27/02/2022 19:32

Golden syrup with the juice from an Orange

BusinessMindThoughts · 27/02/2022 19:33

Banana and maple
Banana and nutella
Cherry pie filling from a can (although these seem to have gotten less tasty in recent years? ) and whipped/squirty cream

Thesunrising · 27/02/2022 19:37

Replace milk with chocolate hazelnut milk - very delicious!

DuesToTheDirt · 27/02/2022 19:40

@KylieCharlene tomato ketchup? Now I've heard everything!

PinkForgetMeNot · 27/02/2022 19:49

I normally do Cheese and ham ones then sweet ones for afters. Might just do choc chip American style ones this year

GirlInACountrySong · 27/02/2022 19:50

plain, cold with absolutely nothing on it...i know, i'm weird

justasoul · 27/02/2022 20:01

Dinner for us, savoury as a main and sweet for dessert. Bolognaise sauce in the savoury pancakes (served rolled like fajitas), sweet ones vary but DD likes biscoff spread, DH likes lemon and sugar and I quite like lemon curd. I just put a selection of sweet stuff on the table and people help themselves.

My recipe:
125g flour
2 eggs
300ml milk
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt

Just mixed everything and fry them Grin - these are thin pancakes rather than American, fluffy ones.

FaceLikeASlappedAss · 27/02/2022 20:06

Thin pancakes.

We put in bowls.
Sugar
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Mini mallows
Choc chips

Then have

Nuttella
Lemon
Sugar
Strawberry sauce
Choc sauce
Whipped cream
Ice cream

I cook a huge batch keep warm in oven till all done.
Then the kids help themselves. One of the dcs will put a bit of absolutely everything in 1 pancake. Then moan it's too much to eat.

TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo · 27/02/2022 20:14

Dinner for us. I'll be putting a chicken casserole in the slow cooker before I start work, 2 thin pancakes each with a big scoop of stew. Then DC will want a couple each for dessert with lemon and sugar or Nutella.

BuddhaForMary · 27/02/2022 20:17

I'll do them for breakfast on Tuesday. Golden syrup for me, nothing else will do. Lemon and sugar for older DC, Nutella for the younger ones.

Aworldofmyown · 27/02/2022 20:21

We like American Style. 1 cup self raising flour. 1 cup milk. 1 egg. 1 grated apple.

drigon · 27/02/2022 20:27

Bit of a culinary dilemma here in Wales as it's both St David's and Pancake Day! My son is a traditionalist and wants both, so he's on savoury pancakes and me Welsh cakes.

Nigelladamascena · 27/02/2022 20:41

Nutella and whipped cream
Lemon and sugar
Maple syrup

balalake · 27/02/2022 20:45

Just with lemon juice for me (I'd have sugar but only have brown sugar in the house).
