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.

Half of them I have lemon juice and sugar, the other half I have maple syrup and cream

Jam is the best.

Then Nutella and banana

Closely followed by lemon and sugar.

Actually scrap that, one of each of the above is the best.

Golden syrup and single cream. It makes a butterscotch sauce and is divine 🥞

Butterpaneer · 04/03/2025 17:19

Two course approach here;

For savory - grated cheddar, sour cream and a little salt and pepper

For sweet: lemon and sugar or banana and Nutella normally, but tonight I'm branching out to cherry pie filling and chocolate!

Cinnamon sugar in melted butter and poured over the pancakes. Worth the calories 👌

pleasedonotfeedme · 04/03/2025 17:23

We normally do a mixture of:

grated cheese and ham
lemon and sugar
Nutella and banana
dulce de leche or sugar/creme fraiche and stewed soft apple pieces

Am just about to start prepping the apples!

NeedABabelFish · 04/03/2025 17:23

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

InfoSecInTheCity · 04/03/2025 17:25

Exactly the same as you OP.

Berlinlover · 04/03/2025 17:26

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

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!

AngelicInnocent · 04/03/2025 17:28

My DC weirdly like vinegar and sugar.

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.

CarpetKnees · 04/03/2025 17:29

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

Fibrous · 04/03/2025 17:32

all of the above.

Fibrous · 04/03/2025 17:32

except vinegar and sugar.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 04/03/2025 17:50

Lemon and sugar. Only way.

mrspk · 04/03/2025 17:52

Always orange and sugar for me

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

TheBewleySisters · 04/03/2025 18:02

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

HelloCanYouHearMe · 04/03/2025 18:03

Jam all the way

Kindyeah · 04/03/2025 18:14

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

SquashedSquid · 04/03/2025 18:15

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.

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 04/03/2025 18:16

I had one lemon and sugar and one Nutella and banana. The lemon and sugar one was amazing, the Nutella and banana one was too sickly and made me too full for another lemon and sugar 😭. I knew this would be the case but went for it anyway 🙈.

hideawayforever · 04/03/2025 18:24

ooh I might try an orange and sugar one 🤔

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.
