Limey 242 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 So how many of you will be making pancakes today? Or perhaps you are pro pancake racers? How do you like your pancakes? For some strange reason, in Detroit they don't do pancakes, they eat "Paczki" which are like a large, jam filled, donut. Apparantly it is a Polish tradition that somehow travelled over here - but nowhere else in America! Paczki 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I always had fresh squeezed lemon or orange juice, and sugar on mine. But my husband, and now my kids [after seeing him do it] put vinegar and sugar on theirs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I always had fresh squeezed lemon or orange juice, and sugar on mine. But my husband, and now my kids [after seeing him do it] put vinegar and sugar on theirs. Never heard of putting vinegar on pancakes or even know of someone who does how strange must try some day…just sugar and fresh squeezed orange juice for me. Very interesting link Limey Thanks… What's the betting Caz puts red grape juice on her's.. Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caz 25 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Nah you are wrong Den. I love blueberries & Vanilla yoghurt on mine. As a child I remember we used to have just jam some of the time along with the traditional orange juice & sugar the times we had an orange in the larder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie 51 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 We used to have raspberry vinegar on ours years ago, I prefer lemon juice and sugar but my kids like golden syrup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Definitely a squeeze of lemon and brown sugar for me. My daughter had a go once, and hers ended up more like a Crepe Suzette, right down to the Grand Marnier. Very nice, but they weren't the real traditional pancakes for pancake day. My Dad used to spinkle ground nutmeg and cinnamon on his. They were quite yummy. Hugs Alison Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qfive 1 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 My father used to say, "The higher you Toss-Em, the Tastier they are". Here's us thinking it was the Golden Syrup that made them delicious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Mention of Golden Syrup brought back a memory. Me mam used to make Treacle Pud' with that. I used to love it. I was trying to describe it to Mrs. L the other day, but she didn't seem to grasp the idea. . No Robertsons over here as far as I know. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 You lost your Tim Hortons? . That's a disaster! You might be able to get some on Amazon. That's where I get mine. Price is reasonable too. Maybe they even have Robertsons Treacle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 When I was young, Pancake Day was the only day in the year I ever ate (or had the choice of) pancakes. Now you see dozens of variations on the subject, and can buy them all year round in supermarkets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,728 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I liked them with a bit of sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice. Lemon was too harsh for my delicate sensibilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 617 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 My mum always put sugar and orange juice on our pancakes too. My wife and her mum used to always comment how strange it was and insisted it had to be lemon juice leading on to arguments about the properties of citrus fruits, limonene, citric acid etc. BTW I was a professional food/flavour chemist before I retired so I do have a pretty good insight. I bet they're nice with lime juice too but I've yet to try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David sheridan 159 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hands up you lot who tossed a pancake in your frying pan, and it stuck to the kitchen ceiling ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
