Your best pancake recipes please!

Options
I'm not sure if there is a dedicated thread to the culinary delight that is the pancake so feel free to move if there is!

I am after your best pancake recipes please, whether crepe style or drop scone, and it's the latter i'm most interested in. We have three ever hungry boys and i want to get as much goodness into them in one go as possible. I plump for a drop scone made with wholemeal self raising flour, porridge oats, eggs, sugar, milk and butter but i have toyed with the idea of using chickpea (gram) flour and pulsed seeds to get even more goodness in them without the fuss of getting them trying new stuff!

Feel free to post your best recipes please!!

    When my kids were small I used to make pancakes then stuff with a savoury filling like chicken & veg in white sauce, roll up and bung in a dish with a cheese sauce over the top and bake until golden.

    It was a filling and nutritious meal for pennies as most of the fillings were made using leftovers.

    I think the ting about drop scones is you can make them in so many ways.

    I usually use 1 large or 2 small eggs for every 1/2 pint of milk, and then add flour, and anything else until I like the consistency, different flours, flavours and additions, with sugar if it was sweet. Children used to like thick ones which had grated cheese placed on the middle after they were placed in the pan.

    I do the same for crepes; 1 egg for half a pint of milk and then flour until it is the right consistency, it is just that the consistency is not so thick.
