Pancake Day

[Dizzy]

As it's Shrove Tuesday, I am planning on having a pancake tonight after dinner, like most people. Was just wondering what people like to have for their pancake fillings?

I like mine with bananas and maple syrup :drool:

[Tessalicious]

Depending on my mood: lemon juice and caster sugar, or chopped nuts, Nutella and vanilla icecream, although yours sounds good too :drool:

Mmmm, can't wait to go home and make pancakes now!

[Lynn]

I like mine with bananas and maple syrup :drool::drool:
There is a restaurant near me where they do 'Honey Bear Crepe' - (Ice cream with honeycomb). I must order it fairly often as was in once with friends and when it got to me the waitress just said 'the usual?' :rofl:

[marty_baby]

sugar and freeshly squeezed lemon juice..... gggrrrr! :nice:

[drathzel]

You know there was talk about pancakes in the office all day and i noly clicked an hour ago :rofl:

[jacksondonut]

My favourite is lemon and sugar... but have been known to toss a bit of cocoa or maybe coffee in the mix to try something new....:drool:

what I do know is that I will be mopping up pancake mix for the next few days... it seems to find its way into everything... :rofl: before cooking it of course...

:cheers:

[Little Monkey]

Ok, this might be a bit of a strange foreign thing, but.....: Blueberry jam and 'romme' (similar to creme fraiche or very thick sour cream). :drool:

Also like the good ol' lemon and sugar option, or to completely push the boat out, ice cream and chocolate (or fruity) sauce! :drool:

[CJ]

Apple and cinnamon. Or some kind of choco/banana combo!!

Has Mick come in with any tossing tips, yet?!?

[Northants Girly]

You know there was talk about pancakes in the office all day and i noly clicked an hour ago :rofl:I've had all my bananas/eggs/flour/icecream etc etc in the cupboard/fridge since last Tuesday :rolleyes:

[LMC]

Those gloopy canned morello cherries and proper (Haagen-Daazs/similar expensive) chocolate ice-cream :drool: :drool: :drool:

Or HP brown sauce.

That's OR, not and :sick:

[El Salsero Gringo]

Maltesers are lovely in a pancake - as is thinly-sliced Mars bar

[Rhythm King]

There are a couple of restaurants in London, called "My Old Dutch" which specialise in pancakes, both savoury and sweet :drool:

They're quite good for Celeb sppotting too!

[Northants Girly]

There are a couple of restaurants in London, called "My Old Dutch" which specialise in pancakes, both savoury and sweet :drool:
One is opposite Ealing Town Hall. I've been in there a couple of times for a pre Hipsters snack :drool: :drool:

[LMC]

There's a 'My Old Dutch' round the corner from the office - walking distance from Covent Garden. Recommended :) - the salmon and dill sauce pancake is :drool:

But don't have the waffles for dessert, they are disgusting.

[Northants Girly]

But don't have the waffles for dessert, they are disgusting.Well I've had waffles, banana, ice-cream and maple syrup :blush: there twice

. . . . . and they were yummy! :drool: :drool: :drool:

[killingtime]

I like mine with bananas and maple syrup :drool:

I'll probably just have maple syrup on mine. Mmmmm... :drool:

It's likely I'll make myself ill before dancing :(.

[TiggsTours]

I was always a lemon & sugar girl, but then I discovered crepes on a skiing holiday in France, now here are some of my favourites:

Cheese & Ham :drool:
Roasted Veg & Blue Cheese :drool:
Chocolate, Banana & Cream :drool:
Blueberries & Rum Cream :drool:

and my absolute favourite:

Grand Marnier, orange sorbet & marmalade :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Stuart]

I once bought a crepe off a stall in Paris that had been soaked in Grand Marnier. It was gorgeous.

When I make them myself, I just smother them in Maple Syrup.

[Sheepman]

soaked in Grand Marnier. It was gorgeous. Grand Marnier, whipped cream, and lots of ice cream with chocolate sauce! :yum:

[Donna]

Ooooh stop it! All of you! Just stop it! :tears: I'm hungry, can't have tea until around 8.00 and I'm not having pancakes tonight!!

I'm still at work waiting for Steve to come along so we can go straight to a dance class and he has made some scrumptious noodles mixed with veg and spices for me (bless) Guess I'll have to have them tomorrow instead! :drool: :drool: Love mine with chocolate, syrup, lemon or .. vodka. :D Nah just kiddin!

That's the one!! I also tried this from a stall on the beach in France and could have eat them until I was drunk!!! Hey imagine getting drunk on pancakes!!:rofl:

[babycass77]

I cooked pancakes for my hunny's breakfast last week. We had them with blueberries, raspberries and oodles and oodles of fresh really thick double cream. :drool: He even added maple syrup to his. (such a sweet tooth!)

I'm too sick to cook pancakes. :( been in bed since sunday with a chest infection :( yuck yuck yuck

[Barry Shnikov]

brown sugar and butter...

[FirstMove]

Tonight was a batter-fest :clap:

I cooked two spring rolls containing haddock, bean shoots, mushrooms and celery in a sweet and sour sauce (oven cooked rather than deep fried)

Then afterwards, 2 pancakes containing honey and 3 with lemon juice, brown sugar and cinnamon :drool:

[WittyBird]

all I can think of is pain. No pancakes for me :what:

[Alice]

Nutella, bananas and Nutella, bananas and ice cream (with maple syrup too),
Morello cherries and natural yoghurt...


And good old lemon and sugar.

Some friends came round last night and one brought some crepes she'd made- we had them with choc chip ice cream, strawberries and blueberries. And hot chocolate fudge.

:drool: :drool: :drool:

[Missy D]

Yesterday Vicky pollard (sorry i mean my daughter) invited her friends over for pancakes. I was really suprised that with all the fillings i offered including chocolate, fruit etc they only wanted lemon and sugar. And they only wanted 2:eek: So I just had to finish the batch off and stuffed my face with chocolate, icecream, bananas etc:drool:

At 8 oclock my boss invited us over for a little pancake party at hers. There were all sorts of fillings on offer, strawberrys (some soaked in alcohol), bananas, blueberries, coronation chicken, feta cheese and leaves, lemon, sugar, cinemon (cant spell it), honey, maple syrup and fresh cream:drool: I ate far too many and still feel stuffed today.:sick:

Right the gym starts tomorrow!

[Tiggerbabe]

Les Delices de Bretagne in Inverness sells the most amazing crepes and waffles. They also do fabulous croissants :drool:

Will try it when i come up and visit my friends in Findhorn later on in the year:drool:

[Whitebeard]

Aunt Bessie made mine. They weren't at all bad; with castor sugar and lemon of course.

[jacksondonut]

Right the gym starts tomorrow!

uuuuuuummmmmmm yes, good plan.... last night I ate five pancakes, had no room for my dinner, felt stuffed all night and still am this morning....:sick:

Good job its only once a year.... (they were lovely though...:drool: :drool: )

[WittyBird]

But don't have the waffles for dessert, they are disgusting.

A place in St Albans called The Waffle House, opposite Verulamium park in St Michaels village. All they do is waffles :yuck:

[Lory]

Aunt Bessie made mine. My 14year old son made ours :na: but if you've ever wondered how they make those flat rubber bath sponges, I now know! :sick:

Luckily, they're very fattening and he knows i'm trying to be good! :innocent: :D

BTW, how can a bit of flour and an egg cause a kitchen to look like a bomb exploded :confused::rolleyes:

[Northants Girly]

A place in St Albans called The Waffle House, opposite Verulamium park in St Michaels village. All they do is waffles :yuck::what: I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree . . . .
I went there years ago and I thought the place was fab :drool:

On a weekend there is a queue to get in :really:

[WittyBird]

On a weekend there is a queue to get in :really:

Yes there is always a queue to get in. I hate waffles. Different strokes for different folks. Over priced and over rated IMHO.

Beautiful setting on a glorious summers day. You can even look in the river while your waiting.

[LMC]

Well I've had waffles, banana, ice-cream and maple syrup :blush: there twice

. . . . . and they were yummy! :drool: :drool: :drool:
Yeah, but that was the Ealing one - the waffles in the Holborn MOD were vile - dry, dusty and stale :mad:

I didn't have pancakes yesterday, so might make some over the weekend... pancakes for breakfast anyone? :drool: :drool: we're grown ups, we can eat what we like

[Asif]

Derr!! :what:

Maybe that's why it's called the WAFFLE House!!

My favourites are Bananas & Maple Syrup, Bananas & Nutella, Cointreau and Southern Comfort & Sugar (could only have one if you were driving anywhere afterwards).

[Asif]

I was thinking the same thing myself. Fancy having a pancake session?? We could bring our favourite fillings!

[WittyBird]

Derr!! :what:
Oooooooh did someone get out the grumpy side of bed today:rofl:

[Lynn]

I didn't have pancakes yesterday, so might make some over the weekend... pancakes for breakfast anyone? :drool: :drool: Mmm, yes please!

[Dizzy]

Mmm, yes please!

:yeah: :D

I never got to have any pancakes last night after all :tears:. By the time I got home and got ready to go dancing, there wasn't time. I might make some tonight instead :clap:

[ducasi]

To celebrate Ash Wednesday I bought some doughnuts for all the folks in my office. :nice:

What do you mean I wasn't supposed to do this today? :really:

Ummmm strawberrys in alcohol sounds (as tony the tiger says) greeaat!

Not sure about coronation chicken though! :confused: :sick:



I ate far too many and still feel stuffed today.:sick:

Fancy a er, pancake?:wink:

[Donna]

uuuuuuummmmmmm yes, good plan.... last night I ate five pancakes, had no room for my dinner, felt stuffed all night and still am this morning....:sick:

Good job its only once a year.... (they were lovely though...:drool: :drool: )


Usually one hour after stuffing my face with as many pancakes as possible, I go to feel hungry again. It's one of those things that are just heavy on your stomach at the time, but then digest very quickly. Bananas are the same!:rolleyes:

I have never missed out on pancake day but I did last night so having some tonight instead. (well I hope so anyway!)

It's good to see that Frosties have moved with the times and Kellogg’s has released a Strawberries in Alcohol type.
