It's Pancake Day! do you eat 'starters'??

I might go mad and have a pancake tomorrow.

Does that make me a heathen?

I've never bothered with the "official" pancake day as the religious aspect means nothing to me. If I do cook pancakes they tend to be for breakfast at the weekend, served with lashings of golden syrup, or nutella. Yum yum!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pancakes with loads of lemon juice and sugar!! But i think baby is telling me it would like choc spread ones, jam ones, and ones with ice cream as well!!! lol Ds 1 only likes them rolled up with ham in, and ds 2 (3) told me this morning he wanted one with syrup and ketchup on ????? lol We will probably just have them as a pudding after dinner, as the kids won't eat loads of them lol

Don't you all find they make your kitchen smell having to have to butter/oil so hot?? Even with window open and extrator fan going full pelt :cool:

Is Pancake Day a big day in some places? My daughters primary school is dishing out pancakes as a treat there this afternoon, but other than that, its business (and dinner) as usual in our house - always has been.

When I was little, my mum used to make pancakes sometimes on a Monday and serve left over Sunday lunch on top of it. (Pancake batter is more or less the same as yorkshire pudding batter, after all). It was really yummy. Wish I had time to do a roast dinner tonight to put on top of my pancake. Nutella will just have to do instead. Although baked beans and tuna is also very nice. Might have two pancake courses.

We will probably have jacket spuds with beans and cheese before the pancakes - no way would my mum let us eat just pancakes for tea!

We're not doing it tonight as I'm alone here, but I usually do savoury pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Out of habit we have them stuffed with spinach and feta or ricotta or goat's cheese and with a tomato, onion, carrot, celery and garlic sauce,sometimes with cheese...parmesan, cheddar...whatever we have. Stuff the pancakes, roll them, bake them with th sauce and cheese over till its all melted and steaming. You can then have sweet pancakes afterwards guilt free. You can make make a huge stack of pancakes through the day and prep later too. Pancakes store and reheat well.
