Pancake day - what's the normal amount of pancakes to eat??

[waitingforautumn]

Having a bit of a debate. Family think 6-8 is normal. I have friends who are done after two.

How many do you typically put away??? (hint: make me feel better about the fifth one I'm about to have...!)

Am talking about crepes btw.

We’ve all just had 4 each. Primary age kids and adults.

17 of course

2 for pudding here, I don’t think I could eat more than that without being in a sugar coma later!

My 9 year old just polished off 4, pre vegan days I’d have had the same, my pancakes are big as well though. Enjoy 😉

About 3. 1 savoury, 2 sweet. We have them for dinner.

We eat them after our main meal, so 5 would be pushing it for me, unless they are the size of scotch pancake.

All of them

We had 3 each then we ran out of batter. I'm sure I could have eaten more at the time if there had been more but I am feeling a bit full now.

Usually around 3x 8-10cm American style ones each.

If it was poffertjes however it would be a full pan per person!

We eat until the batter is gone and don't count!

Eat the 5th one OP!

We all had 5 except DS who tasted his and then rejected it (odd child) but it was our entire dinner rather than just pudding.

😂 we will have a lot of competitive pancake under eaters because it’s Mumsnet.

I’ll go- I have one, traditional of course, cooked in a tiny frying pan that came with the toy kitchen. But it’s an awful amount of sugar so I actually try and eek it out to the following pancake day next year, otherwise I will put myself at risk of being a size 10 and have diabetes.

What!! we have one or two - how are you eight crepes?!!!! Actually impressed I love them!

I've just managed 8 and feel sick , but love it

DH and I have just had three each (small pan) and are having a rest.

We’ve not eaten anything else though.

I had only 1

1 big fuck off American style pancake with blueberries and chocolate chips smothered in butter and honey

@binkyblinky

17 of course

You are the energy I need in my life binky!!

We had three at lunchtime (as our lunch) and then two each for pudding after dinner.

Three

Teen DS had one, he doesn't like them.

It depends if you’re having them as your main meal or as pudding, I think?

If we have them as our main meal than six or so... today we’re having 2/3 each, because we’ve had Camembert

3 savoury, 3 sweet American style

3-4 for full meal I'd say

2 or 3 but they are pudding, not dinner, in our house.
