    I guess so, never really thought of it like that. We never have desserts unless we have guests. And then I struggle to fit one in so maybe you're right!

    I don't have desserts of course, ahem! ;) but the kids sometimes do

    Also my pancakes have been known to be a bit on the stingy side - I like to think of them as petite, lol! ;)

    made pancakes with six year old granddaughters today as our Tuesday Cookery Session! they made enough batter for six each and I did the frying and tossing, then they sugared and lemoned them - well one had lemon and the other added sultanas to hers! then I wrapped them in foil and they took them home to have after supper! Along with what was left of my banana bread which they decided was very scrummy! got a feeling thats going to be the result of next Tuesdays Cookery Session!
    Me and OH wont be having pancakes............neither of us are keen on them!

    I love pancakes but I don't think I could eat a whole meal of them without being sick! We have normal dinner then lots of pancakes as desert. Probably 4 or 5 each, with lemon and sugar, yes we are greedy guts but it's only one day.

    Just 2 pancakes, as the main meal. No starters, nothing else. That's all.
    As a kid I remember having 3-4.

    Since pancakes are pretty filling and starchy I stick with that as the meal. I love pancakes, but I'm not sure I can handle a big stack of pancakes and tons of toppings! I will keep them plain, whole wheat, and warm :) Yum!

    We had savoury ones as a main course filled with hoisin chicken and salad.

    Then we had sweet ones with a choice sugar and lemon, nutella, maple syrup or honey.
    Here I go again on my own....
