I don't love them but the family do - so it's going to be bananas and honey with cream for my lot.

I'm having a variety of toppings, but my fave has to be the classic lemon and sugar 
My Mum is making them for me and the little one She has never had one before so hopefully she will like it.
I think I will go for some syrup

I usually go for the classic Saz, you can't beat it tbh - it's lower in calories too!
Oh angel, isn't is lovely to see them taste something for the first time? I hope she loves it - then you can fill them with tuna, salmon, cheese, any fruit and anything you want to disguise!
Aww, I hope she enjoys her tast of the 'traditional' tho'.
seems so quick that she's reached this stage!

Indeed! It's also Pancake Day tomorrow. My Grandson is coming around and looking forward to it. His working mum has no time or ability for that sort of thing.
(But as I said to Mr Singh in the local shop this morning these youngsters can't bake or cook, it's all microwave junk stuff in front of the telly. The kids think everything comes from Tesco. They tell me it's going to snow non-stop until June.....etc)

part of the probelm in this day and age Joe is everything can be bought ready done, & cheaper than making it yourself, If that can be classed as a problem. So explaining the art of pancake making using eggs , flour & milk, doesn't compare to a BOGOF packet of Aunt Bessies ready made...sadly falls on deaf ears to youngsters.Reference:

Sad but true - the art of the basics of cooking is/has been lost unless it's taught in the home. I was taught the basics at school and realise the need for them - I taught my three and allowed them to cook and told them where/when they went wrong - they do now appreciate the basics.
Blimey, we're hardly talking haute cuisine here, a couple of eggs and some milk mixed into some flour, surely anyone can do that
I'll be having my home made pancakes with some home made raspberry jam .... one of my favourite treats, not just on pancake day

I'm not sure they still do cookery in schools still , we did it, but I went to a mixed school, I loved it, we were taught hoe to make pastry , soups etc.My son had 1 term doing it, but only mastered the art of pineapple upside down cake, which although vert tasty, can not been lived on. I don't think either of my other children did it.

Why oh why do people buy those greasy horrible things when Yorkshire Puddings are sooooooo easy and cheap to make ?
Before I saw this I wasn't up to speed on the Christian calender, soooo.... if it's pancake today then lent must start tomorrow....wonders what to give up, scratches head

Hoocie...how are you, L.T.N.S....
now back on topic, I like to spread a little chocolate spread on mine, and we always have sausage toad on pancake day.
RZB nice to see you too! yes we're very fond of toad in the hole as well....there's an excellent recipe on the BBC Good Food site where you add red onions and put thyme and wholegrain mustard in the batter ....really delicious
I only eat them with sugar on

Can you make them Darlo? We need to stick up for the 'yougsters' who can cook!All of the 'youngsters' in my close family can cook/bake, some extremely well, unlike many of the oldies in my extended family. I'm thinking particularly now of my 82 year old aunt who never cooks anything from scratch, has never made a cake or pie in her life, everything is shop bought and most of her food goes the route: M&S, freezer, microwave!Reference:
Pancakes
Good idea Tiddlywiddlyone...definitely easier than Marlboro or chocolate!
My dilemma now is: chocolate banana and cream? lemon and sugar? golden syrup? Or shall I have 3?....maybe I'd better if I've gotta give them up for 40 days and 40 nights!

Damn! Wish I'd read all these suggestions yesterday, when I could get to a shop! I'll have to make do with lovely lemon and sugar, but I would dearly have loved to have tried some of these!
My daughter is a far better cook than me, yet my pancakes beat hers hands down, and I'm not a good cook at all normally. She tells me she's going to try to do her own again, but is prepared to pop into Sainsburys should they be a disaster as usual to get a ready mix!

I wish my twelve year old had never learnt how to make pancakes, or could master the art of clearing up!! 
Anyway, we are having savoury ones wot Gino the Campo made on This Morning.
I may have some more for pudding, with Golden Syrup on.

In Linden they have a pancake house where you can have anything in 'em. I had Broccoli and Cauliflower in a bechemel type sauce. Mrs Crossy had red berries, jelly and cream.
I'm stuffed full of pancakes now and they were v v delicious
Has anyone ever been to the International House of Pancakes? (I-hop in the US). They are amazing.
There used to be a Dutch pancake house, in Holborn.
Delicious savoury stuff.

Can't eat them due to egg allergy and the substitute egg mixture doesn't cut it
