It’s Shrove Tuesday today; if that’s totally passed you by, you’re not alone. But it’s better known, at least in non-religious circles, as Pancake Day. So, in the fine tradition of exploratory food consumption, what’s your favourite pancake filler, and why?
I’m a lemon-and-sugar man these days, but that’s only because I can no longer eat Nutella thanks to my pesky lactose intolerance, oh, and my pancakes are soya-based. If you’re after something a bit different, you should try soya instead of milk — it makes them lighter, sweeter, and taste a bit coconutty.
Allergies aside, what’s your favourite combo? I’m assuming we’re talking about thin, UK-style pancakes, but if you’re an American pancake fan, I guess that’s OK too. Are you a chocolate spread kind of man? A maple-syrup guzzler, or perhaps even a fruit-filled muncher?

I used to love Findus Crispy pancakes as a kid. Cheese and Ham, and by Ham, I mean Horse.
Anyway, I’m a traditional sort. I like sugar and a squeeze of lemon.
yep you just can’t beat sugar and lemon
Can’t go wrong with the sugar and lemon, although occasionally honey to supplement the sugar.
Treat yourself with a sugar and lime. You’ll never look back!
Ooo, haven’t tried lime. Will give it a go
It’s just been suggested to me to chuck a warm white rum and a bit of mint across it, and you’ve got yourself a Mojito pancake!
Will these jokes ever get old? I doubt it!
Neigh. They should be good furlong time!
I will be making a bucket full of batter this evening and having some savoury pancakes (cream cheese, hams etc) for dinner followed by a dessert of sweet pancakes (lemon curd, nutella, jam etc)
What’s the difference between a crepe and a pancake?
I think it’s thickness, crepe being thinner.
Crepe is also made on a hot plate whereas a pancake is done in a frying pan
Golden syrup
Golden syrup? Heathen!
I’ll be making a combo of a top pudding with my pancakes…..like these Banoffee Pancakes. Banana + Pancake + Toffee sauce = Good Times

Crack, it’s ever so moreish. If not available you can’t beat Toffee!
Medium rare Ribeye steak
Don’t you mean Horse steak? (Sorry)
Ideally beef or Kangaroo but I’m not fussy!
Traditional lemon and sugar for me, every time. Unless they’re American hotcake-like things, in which case maple syrup. And bacon. Plenty of bacon.
Oooh, we were going to do maple syrup, but bacon as well sounds amazing!
Do eeeet. You won’t regret it.
Haha yeah we’ve just bought the bacon, and some brown sugar for a lovely sweet candy bacon weave

I am going to be waving my fist in your general direction tonight, as I stare blankly at my bowl of soup
Sugar and Lemon FTW
Maple butter, then maple sugar, then maple syrup to top. If in doubt, add bacon.
That’s a myocardial infarction in one mouthful.
All it needs is some bacon peanut butter…
I can think of worse ways to go haha!
I don’t know what that means, but if it’s science-speak for “freaking amazing” then yeah, spot on.
Nutella + Bananas is the best combo
I think my better half would agree.
That’s why they call her better.
Sweet and savoury pancakes for me tonight.
The usual, sugar/maple and lemon or orange, nutella, peanut butter, apple cinnamon, berries..maybe a dollop of whip cream on the side..mmm
For savoury, would have been peppered mince beef and cheese…but with all the stuff in the news, I would have to say neigh to that! Probably substitute the horse with chicken this year oh and maybe bacon.
Yes, apple and cinnamon! I’ll add that to my list too. Awesome
That stock picture of golden pancakey fruity goodness is making me think THAT’s my favourite. Mmmm!
orange and sugar for me. lemon is just a bit too acidic.
maybe some choccy syrup and ice cream for pudding
Straight up sugar and lemon.
Although my grandfather used to swear on Marmalade.
Home made lemon curd and raspberries with some whipped cream. Only takes one before I feel a pancake coma coming on!
Don’t like the sharpness of lemon nor lime so it’s sugar and a squeeze of orange juice for me.
Strawberries and nutella on mine.
Another good one, is sloe gin (we make ours with loads of sugar so it’s really thick) and ice cream.
Honey, Banana, and a dusting of cinnamon. Undefeatable combo.
Btw, pancake day doesn’t make the pancakes taste any better than any other day. Over rated
No one said it did, it’s just a traditional day. Lighten up.
its just people get waaaaaay too excited over some pancakes…. the thing you can have every other day
People could give each other Christmas presents every other day, or cook a Christmas dinner, complete with a whole turkey, and all the trimmings every Sunday, but they don’t. They look forward to the one day a year when a big thing is made over it. Sure, it might be a bit childish, but hell, it is fun. If you don’t like it, lock yourself in a cupboard every Shrove Tuesday, but don’t complain about other people enjoying themselves.
Syrup and lemon
)
Peanut butter and maple syrup works best for me, extra sugar on the peanut butter normally helps as well.
I’ve pretty much always had lemon+sugar
weed, lemon, sugar, sometimes nutella, sometimes bananas
