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.

Golden syrup and lemon juice.

Divine....

Lemon and sugar for me.

Nutella for DC1, Nutella and banana for DC2 and Greek yogurt and berries for DC3

DP has had a mashup of Nutella, ice cream and berries.

Just doing mine now, I have so far had a lemon and sugar and then a Nutella with strawberries and squirty cream
i think the next one will be golden syrup and I’m tempted to put some salt on it as suggested above

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.

Three??? Feeble effort 😂😉

We've just had lemon and sugar for round one and then strawberries and M&S hazelnut spread for dessert.

Doingitat40 · 04/03/2025 18:43

Just coming back to confirm the syrup and salt was a great suggestion

CandyCane457 · 04/03/2025 18:53

Lemon and sugar is great, but my go to is M&S blonde choc spread and raspberries… having mine shortly and I can’t wait!

Jollyjoy · 04/03/2025 19:11

Pure smug MN cliche here, but I made my own Nutella for the pancakes today! So good and pretty easy. I don't think I can choose between that and sugar and lemon. Joint first.

ImWearingPantaloons · 04/03/2025 19:14

Golden syrup

Marmite27 · 04/03/2025 19:14

cadburys caramel and chocolate spread has proved a hit here tonight with bananas.

Old favourite is Nutella, strawberries and squirty cream.

DH is a maple syrup fan, I like mine retro with lemon and sugar.

I will admit, we all had one of each of the above and voted. It was a four way split Grin

StrawberryLane · 04/03/2025 19:19

We usually have ham and cheese followed by strawberries and melted chocolate

Overtheatlantic · 04/03/2025 19:20

Butter and maple syrup. American style.

SwanOfThoseThings · 04/03/2025 19:25

Lemon and sugar here.

Butter and honey is also nice. Generous on the butter, sparing on the honey.

Sibilantseamstress · 04/03/2025 19:26

Fluffy American pancakes with two sauces:

  1. warm mix of maple syrup and butter
  2. blueberries cooked with sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice
BoredReceptionist · 04/03/2025 19:26

We do savoury crepes for main course, with cheese, ham, tomato etc, then American style for dessert with choices of maple syrup, jam, berries, skooshy cream. I don't know why we only do it once a year, they're so good!

I can't eat food any more, and before that I had most of my bowel removed, so yeah, big amounts of food was a no go. All you can eat buffets are my nemesis.

Freshflower · 04/03/2025 19:40

They all sound delicious. Love feta cheese and parsley or melted chocolate like buttons , twix etc

Putthekettleon73 · 04/03/2025 19:43

FloofyKat · 04/03/2025 16:48

I like the classic lemon and sugar approach but also lime juice and sugar!

Ohhh lime & sugar. Good idea. I loooove lime.

No takers for golden syrup?!

Definitely! With Orange Juice ☺️

TomatoSandwiches · 04/03/2025 19:51

Springbleugh · 04/03/2025 17:20

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

I tried this because my eldest like churros and he was very happy so thank you 😊

wildmushrooms · 04/03/2025 19:52

Smoked salmon, avocado and rocket all rolled up into a wrap shape, grated cheese sprinkled on top to melt.

Dontcrymysweetpotato · 04/03/2025 19:55

Just tried the golden syrup and sea salt combo. A-maz-ing!! Thanks for the suggestion 😀

Aw that's fab glad to hear it! It's a firm favourite in this house, almost like cinnamon buns 😋

Panda89 · 04/03/2025 20:28

Tesco sent me 5 limes instead of 5 lemons today in my online shop (it wasn’t even a sub, clearly someone thought they were interchangeable)
so I had lime and sugar which was surprisingly nice!

Carishina · 04/03/2025 20:35

Canned cherry pie filling and vanilla ice cream is my favourite. Fond memories of 1980s Little Chef’s cherries jubilee!
