    We're having pancakes tomorrow as DS is on a night shift.  He likes chocolate spread on one and lemon and sugar on the others.  I'm traditional, I like lemon and sugar,  DP likes his rolled up with ice cream in the middle

    I make all the pancakes first and stack them on a plate over a pan of hot water with a tea towel on top.

    Then first one is savoury, sauteed peppers onions etc with a cheese sauce, ham etc, or maybe chilli TSP.

    Second one is always a banana with maple syrup and squirty cream.

    Then lemon and sugar or more syrup if they like.
