To this day pancakes hold a special place in my foody-memories.

Anything thick is not a pancake, it's a drop scone. like my pizza crust, I like mine thin.

My first preference though is the lovely thin ones with lemon and sugar, not brown sugar though, just a sprinkling of white. I love the sour tang of lemon juice, the soft pancake and the crunch of the little jewels of sugar. MMMMMMMM delicious!!!! See now you have done it again. I have to make them tonight. Your such an influence on me :) When I think of pancakes, I am reminded of the USA and the lovely ones I have had there, topped with crispy bacon and smothered in maple syrup.

Oh well, there's still Eggless Easter to come...

On Shrove Tuesday in 1977, (in Grade 6) my teacher was flabbergasted when I began turning out perfect crepes. She didn't know that I had already had two years practice because I loved them so much. My Definitive Pancake List: Crepes Suzette - started making them when I was ten when my folks felt it was ok for me to flambee! Hungarian Hortobagy pancakes - made them last night with a filling of venison, kaiserfleisch, onions and smoked paprika, topped with a sauce of pan juices deglazed with Tokay then mixed with paprika relish and sour cream Blintz's - result of being fostered part time by Hungarian Jews Walnut, lemon & sugar pancakes - another Hungarian favourite Buckwheat Galettes - now enjoyed regularly with a Coeliac friend in Port Melbourne Pikelets with jam and double cream - a childhood favourite Crepes are my default pancake.

Is pancake-belly a new syndrome peut-être? heheh. Hey Grocer -- interesting what you say about pikelets vs hotcakes. For me, pikelets were very light - as light as most large thick American pancakes I've had. Thanks to all for their anecdotes and commentary on the pancake. Nice to see different terminology too! Keep the comments coming:) Welcome, Campbell. Is pancake-belly a new syndrome peut-être? heheh.

For us pancakes were thin when little. I recall a phase where sunday night dinner was pancakes with bacon, maple syrup & vanilla ice cream... led by dad of course! It sounds odd but it's a great combination. Another family favourite was jam and cream. And then there was the whole experience of wrapping up savoury combo's a la "Pancakes" chain... Having also lived in USA I can identify with the thick pancake but in my mind these are "hot cakes" - because, like cake they are kind of doughy, and they're different again to pikelets which are denser and served with butter & vegemite, or jam. But the first thing that springs to mind when "pancakes" is said, is the variety of which you speak. YUM! great post. k Hey Duncan, great to see you back online!
