Who's making pancakes?

What kind?

What are you serving with them?

I think I'm gonna make banana pancakes. With butter and maple syrup. And I'm gonna make a tropical fruit salad on the side.

I'm pancaked out... made some yesterday... chocolate chip. And always from scratch with buttermilk.

I don't like maple syrup on my pancakes anymore... now I just dust them lightly with confectioner's sugar...

I love pancakes though... I better mark this on my calender so I don't miss pancake day!

Is it the same day every year? Or is it like Earth Day?

But pancake filling variations I've done...

strawberry

blueberry

raspberry/banana

almonds

banana+nutmeg

peaches

applesauce/cinnamon

and (on top or on the side of pancakes) pears topped with chocolate sauce... I toast the pear halves with butter, rum, and brown sugar.

Its the perfect excuse for eating bacon

I think I'll make pancakes for dinner now

Which nuts do you mix with you're banana?

walnuts are bitter to me... do they taste better with the pancakes?

I tried almond and banana... my kids were like

ooh! That pear concoction sounds awesome. I may have to rethink my plan.

Pancake day is Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday), the day before Ash Wednesday, so it's different every year.

Every year, I say I'm going to organize a pancake race at work - and then I forget.

I'm doing waffles instead ~ Mmm ... really crispy edges

with homemade elderberry sauce

You could use any pear. My sister and older son like to add some whipped cream also. I just stick to the chocolate sauce.. makes great filling for crepes (sp?) too.

and thanks for the info.

im making homemade buttermilk pancakes with choice of homemade peach, strawberry, apple or blueberry sauces to go on top, homemade hashbrowns and turkey bacon

You give choices? Damn you're good!

I forgot all about it. My kids ate at their grandparent's house tonight and she made them pancakes, which i'm so relieved about. I hate the thought of my kids missing out on little things like that.

I like my pancakes with lemon juice and sugar.

I thought this was a Sarah Silverman Program thread.

I usually go for McDonald's' pancakes on Sunday mornings. They're cheap!

P.S. Hi, Carrie!

I use walnuts in mine, chopped super fine...it's just like making banana bread.

I've totally changed my whole plan.

I'm going to do the pears to top the pancakes with and instead of fruit salad on the side I'm going to roast some potatoes and carrots with onion, garlic and rosemary.

Yay!

That's my favorite way to have a crepe. Simply squeeze on juice from a lemon and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.

I've never had an elderberry. I'm going to look for some soon.

Make you own.

I make mines with whole wheat flour. They "stick to your ribs" .... 2 and some fruit and I am so full!

Don't forget loads of greasy bacon.

Omg, it was perfect.

Since I’m counting calories (and pancakes are already a lot) I tossed the pears in a bit of fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp of raw sugar and a bunch of cinnamon and let them sit for about 30 minutes and then poached them in a bit of water. I know it would be better with rum and butter and such, but that will have to come when I’ve lost another 25 pounds and can “afford” it.

No matter, my bf LOVED the pears. And so did I!
