What do you put on yours? I had peanut butter and jam, (seperately) and chocolate spread as well.

As I mentioned on the Mardi Gras thread - fresh lime juice and brown sugar.

I haven't dragged myself away from the tedium here to consider it yet, John, old love. It's probably better to hook up to a cookery site to discuss matters of this sort of importance.

Shrove Tuesday obviously means more in England John. On the thin British style pancakes Brown Sugar and Lemon Juice. On the big thick North American style Pancakes Maple Syrup, preferably home made. Happy Shrove Tuesday to All. JohnB

so, this guy is referred to a psycoanalyst by his family for being strange:

Doctor: "So, why are you here?"

Patient:" I dunno, doc...my family thinks I'm crazy becaue I like pancakes."

Doctor: "Hmm..I don't see the problem..I like pancakes, my self."

Patient: "You do!?? Great! You must come see my collection sometime...I have 4 closets full of them!"

(I really expected to see this old joke when I opened the thread)

(Maple syrup for me, too..(rarely a bit of jan or honey)

Shrove Tuesday is big here in New Brunswick, Canada. Of course, the population is about 70 % Irish and French descent, so it's no wonder. There is even a pub downtown here in Moncton called "Fat Tuesdays". I guess it's meant to allude to "party all the time".

On that old cast iron skillet that he would slick with a big slab of salt pork, piling the pancakes on a plate on top of a pan of steaming water for serving hot ? Yeah, they were gooood.

Is it an international dilemma?
Can kids (and big kids!)all over the world, eat them
faster than their Mums can cook 'em, even with 4 pans on the go.....
Or is it just mine?

Goodness gracious. I can't imagine pancakes without maple syrup. Then again, I suppose it's rather rare where some of you are. Round here, it grows in trees.

I love buckwheat pancakes. Some find them a bit "earthy." A good trick; add buckwheat pancake mix to regular pancake mix; yummy! Buckwheat is very good for you, alkaline forming in the blood.

Butter and Grade B Vermont maple syrup...

I can't help but wonder why the first 3 posts on this thread were blank...is pancakes a subject that simply leaves some Mudcatters speechless?

I used to love 'em when I was a kid, with lots of maple syrup. Those were the days when real maple syrup cost less per ounce than gold, and there was lots of it available from local farmers...(sigh).

Swedish pancakes with 1 tsp. lingonberry preserves per cake, rolled up and topped with a dollop of whipped cream, or regular pancakes with butter and Grade B maple syrup.

Cheese, or sausage (or both) for savoury.

Chocolate or traditional (lemon and sugar) for sweet.

Add some sugar to the mix for sweet; or some salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme for savoury.

They were "hotcakes" in the wild west where I was raised-- in Oklahoma--could be buttermilk or not, & were enjoyed with maple syrup & lots of smoked bacon on the side, which I loved to dip in the maple syrup. I also loved putting peanut butter on my pancakes as a child. Oh, Ok, I still love them that way.

Pancakes...With apples cooked in em' or berries....mmmm...Sometimes just with real buuter and sometimes I put a bit of cinnamon in the batter. Whole wheat , buckwheat or unbleached its all good. It's the one dish my kids would always eat and it put a few extra pounds around the hubby's middle too.

From: DancingMom

Kind of like molasses, I think. Rich, dark, sweet, honey consistency, made from cooking down sugar cane. Mixed up with some butter, MMMmmm!

From: Dicho (Frank Staplin)

Sorghum is not from sugar cane or sugar beets. It comes from an Old World grass that has spikelets, and growth a little like corn. A syrup is derived from the juice in its stems. Much is grown in the US but most is used to feed livestock, either as fodder or as silage. A little molasses made from sorghum is sold as a cheap substitute for molasses, mostly in the south.
Corn syrup (Karo is one brand) is common.
