Pancake variations

this is a topic which was instigated in the flat lastnight. when making pancakes, you can substitute various items in the batter, ground almonds as opoosed to flour, melted chocolate in the bater...

anyone out there got any ideas or maybe even sauces & things to fill/dip the pancakes(custard for one)

your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

ewwwwwwwwww I dont like pancakes

STANDARD PANCAKES
MAPLE SYRUP
BANANAS
ICE CREAM........nuff said

what's a pancake? Lots of people have different view on what a pancake is.

There's quite a comprehensive pancake topping and batter ingrediant discussion here, however as I'm hungry and pancakes are full of pancakey goodness, I vote that we need another thread about it.

There's many good toppings: blackberry and apple stew with icecream, chocolate sauce with bananas and icecream, the list goes on

Chocolate sauce with heated strawberries. Its the yummiest.

Bananas and strawberry jam.

Feta cheese and sundried tomatoes is a nice savoury alternative, as is ham and cheese.

I dont know why i just cant stand them....they stick to the roof of my mouth ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Your couch was very comfy

Those thin english pancakes are the best, scotch are nice but meh not as good. To be honest I just like a plain pancake with salt, very tasty and savoury

I love scotch pancakes but any other pancakes are yukky!

I don't know why, but i don't like them! they're just bleugh!

although, when in paris once, i did enjoy a crepe but the french are generally better at things like that!

Mmmmm.... Pancakes.... :o)

You can't beat pancakes with Jiff lemon and sugar!

yeah, and thank god jif changed to cif... so many times i got confudsed.

by the way.. what are scotch pancakes?

Little fat pancakes from Scotland...

I quite like the fat doughy american style ones, with icecream and chocolate sauce mmmm....

making the fat doughy american ones(im talking about the opancakes now...zzzing!) you just put an extra egg yolk and a little baking powder to your standard pacake/crepe mix
