What a bunch of tossers.

Lemon and sugar - traditional is best.

I might add that tonight will be my first carbs since Dec 31st. Luckily today I am cycling 22 miles, running 4.5 miles and swimming for an hour. Tomorrow I intend to try to sim the iron man distance for the first time - 3.8km.

Traditional lemon and sugar for me, though I do like kaisershmarn which is a German thick pancake chopped into large chunks often containing sultanas and almonds and served with a fruit compote.

That's interesting, norrahe, I might make two batches: one using buttermilk and one using yoghurt.

Got the American bacon, just need to get the blueberries tomorrow.

Friend of mine made them for me years ago and they were really nice, might have the recipe somewhere.

You can also make the pancakes a lot lighter by separating the eggs, adding the yolks as normal to the pancake mix and then whisking the egg whites till stiff and folding through the mixture.

you can also use yoghurt instead of milk for the blueberry ones.

For american style pancakes I'd plump for maple syrup and ice cream

Excellent idea sir, thank you!

If you put fresh blueberries in the batter, they are even better.

For English pancakes, I totally agree with you. Might throw a lime into the mix as well though.

With mince, chillis, fried onion and garlic. Savoury pancakes, lovely. No pancake day here but then no-one at work as they've all buggered off to carnival...
