What pancakes/fillings will you be having today?

51 replies

I quite enjoy a savoury one myself like cheese and broccoli. Or bacon. 😛

DDs will have Nutella/Biscoff/lemon and sugar/honey/blueberries/whipped cream in some kind of combination of the above.

DH likes plain lemon and sugar but will probably also have something like Nutella and banana.

I just put all the toppings out on the table/some keeping warm in the oven and keep the pancakes coming. Just traditional ones but I try to make them thin.

Mine had 1 with Nutella and banana and 1 with lemon and syrup. I make thin ones too. I hate making pancakes though so they'll have ready made ones for pudding tonight if they want them.

I'm a purist. Just Lemon juice and castor sugar for me.

Goats cheese

Tradition in our house is all pancake dinner, savoury for main and sweet for pudding. We are having garlic mushrooms and spinach gratin ones for savoury, and lemon and sugar or maple syrup for dessert. I might melt some chocolate in one too. I make the fillings and batter, DP is the tosser Grin

IsItBedtimeYetNope · 21/02/2023 10:53

I'm a total heathen. We're having them with honey as we're in the middle of moving.

Good old lemon and sugar for me. Kids like Nutella or maple syrup.

And has to be thin crepe-style!

Tisfortired · 21/02/2023 10:57

I LOVE pancakes! So does DS. DP not arsed so me and DS go for it 😃

We have them for tea, the crepe style. DS will have combinations of nutella/syrup until he can eat no more, I love having orange and sugar or lemon and sugar - couple of those then one or two nutella ones as pud 😉

Made the batter this morning ready in the fridge for later.

CharlotteDoyle · 21/02/2023 10:57

DC had nutella + strawberries, rolled up like a cigar.

DH went for maple syrup.

I kept it classic with lemon & sugar.

CrinkleCutChips · 21/02/2023 10:59

Just the classic, lemon and sugar 😋 DH might go wild and have Nutella. We’ve got loads of eggs to use.

minipie · 21/02/2023 10:59

We are not having pancakes today as there’s not really enough time between school and a club 😬 I have delayed to Sunday instead so we can do it properly!

FfeminyddCymraeg · 21/02/2023 11:01

I had American style ones this morning with streaky bacon and maple syrup. Will do some crepe style ones tonight, with spinach and mushrooms.

Love pancake day!

Utilitaparking · 21/02/2023 11:03

Got to be lemon and sugar!

Will sometimes do one with Nutella/M&S hazelnut creme if we have it in but not got any atm.

Happyrascalsmummy · 21/02/2023 11:03

Sugar and lemon for me, banana and chocolate sauce for DH and golden syrup for the kids, probably with squirty cream and sprinkles too. Some of the previous suggestions sound wonderful, but far more effort than I'm willing to put in.

kleew1 · 21/02/2023 11:08

DC had honey and dessicated coconut with whipped cream.

I just had them plain and shoved in my mouth at lightning speed!!

SizzlestheSausageDog · 21/02/2023 11:14

A Delia style pancake lasagne for mains then whatever Nutella and fruit we can find for dessert. Looking forward to it very much!

TheGold · 21/02/2023 11:16

Lemon & sugar/golden syrup for me & DH.
DS has requested maple syrup, banana & squirty cream.
DD has requested strawberries, Nutella & squirty cream.

Hard pass on savoury fillings in this house!

MischiefTheChicken · 21/02/2023 11:24

We’re on half term (first time I can remember it falling in half term in 15 years of school) so DD 17 has requested all day pancakes. We began with the little fat pancakes with bacon and maple syrup for breakfast and DD is planning pizza toppings on pancakes for lunch.
I’d quite like to try making galettes for the savoury fillings but that will require going shopping for buckwheat flour so I’ll have to see.
At dinner we’ll most likely have our usual selection available of Nutella, lemon and sugar and warmed strawberry jam, with cider to drink (a tradition picked up whilst living in France during Saturday night crêpe-fests).

WordleInTwo · 21/02/2023 11:29

Main course is ham and cheese followed by lemon and sugar.

54isanopendoor · 21/02/2023 11:31

V impressed at all the breakfast pancakes pre school!
Then remembered it's half term in England (I'm in Scotland)
We have a very busy day so I might delay until Sat.
Fat USA ones with bacon & maple syrup for brunch.
I like the sound of the Delia style pancake lasagna @SizzlestheSausageDog
(do you have a link please?) Lemon & sugar for pud. Then, a lie down ....

Golden syrup, nothing beats it
