No idea what Iam having first, Mrs Tel said something light, so more room for pancakes.

So far, choccy ones, raspberry ones and I think its apple and sultanas or cherries. Plus cream of course.

Other options, sugar and lemon, or maple syrup (real not synth'd).

Ohhh maple syrup! Think I may have some of that somewhere.  rubschin:

Can highly recomend the dulce de leche, sort of toffee meets condensed milk.  cloud9:

So far so good, but there's not going to be much room left for pancakes at this rate.

We have caked our pans, or panned our cakes, either way the children are happy.

And for the little one, who has an egg allergy, we managed to find a recipe that uses arrowroot as an egg substitute that actually worked so he is really happy that he too could have a pancake. cloud9:

I don't know if you've tried this one Wenchy. Put an unopened tin of condensed milk in a pan of simmering water for 2 to 2.5hr's, a really good toffee sauce

We forgot it was Pancake Day, so tonight was home made potato, leek and smoked haddock soup with rye & spelt bread. Can't beat home cooking smile:

For reasons known only unto herself Mrs S elected not to be able to find either the 4 inch pancake pan or the special pan cake maker (Its American .... don't ask 'cos it's crap) but fetched the 10 inch iron pan out of the cupboard. First I knew was when she asked me to flip the bloody thing.
I have just weighed it 1.75 kilo! Five of us. I only had a single token pancake 'cos of the diet ... everyone else had three each. My arm/wrist feel very sore this morning ..... how I imagine Berek feels most days. lol:
