Although I did know someone who liked to put whipped cream and ham on pancakes. Although it's not rockist, it looked revolting and I could not in good conscience recommend it.

Also when I was in Hawaii I was introduced to coconut syrup and loved it! I'm guessing you just put some powdered sugar in coconut milk and heat it up.

Shrove Tuesday is the Tuesday following Quinguagesima Sunday, and preceding the first day of Lent, or Ash Wednesday.
It was formerly customary in England, on this day, for the people to confess their sins to their parish priests, after which they dined on pancakes, or fritters, and the occasion became one of merriment. The bell rung on this day is popularly called Pancake Bell, and the day itself Pancake Tuesday.
I am without sin, so therefore should need no pancakes. Ring thine own pancake bell.
But yes, I am intrigued by anything featuring dark rum.

Also, I once had Thanksgiving dinner-style pancakes that were amazing: pancakes stuffed with turkey and stuffing, and topped with an awesome cranberry-filled syrup. My mouth's watering just thinking about them...

Alternatively cook some susages, breakfast ones are best but bangers will do in a pinch and wrap your pancakes around them (use a toothpick if your feeling fanc y) and douse with liberal amounts of maple syrup. mmm piggies in a blanket.

No lemon juice in this house, but there were some maky lemons laying about. I couldn't remember what to do with the sugar - Do you put it on before or after you've rolled it up?
The Aunt Bessie's things were to pancakes what Chicago Town mini-pizzas are to pizza. They're like 50% of real pancakes.

Pancake soirée tonight, 2 hours to go... I'm dangerously hungry already. I'm hoping there's maple syrup in abundance. Bananas also sounds like a good idea.

I like real fruit, or a nice fruit jam, on pancakes. I also am a fan of the now-mostly-forgotten buckwheat pancake. I make them with buttermilk. Real maple syrup is nice, but even Grade B syrup is too expensive for my blood. My delicacies must be cheap ones.

I made pancakes in our new house for the first time. It was ace. Emma was rockist with lemon and sugar. I had two with golden sizzurp, one with lemon curd, and one with bramble jelly.
― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 21:13 (seventeen years ago)
what is this golden syrup all about? it's just hopped-up corn syrup, right?
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 21:24 (seventeen years ago)
No, it's cane syrup, not corn syrup. It's good stuff.

Golden syrup in the UK usually means Lyle's Golden Syrup. It's one step in the process of turning sugar cane into white sugar.
― snoball, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 22:09 (seventeen years ago)
i am suspicious of it
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 22:15 (seventeen years ago)
I just had 1.5 x lemon & sugar and 2x banana, maple syrup and white chocolate chips pancakes (white chocolate was a pleasant surprise addition after I found an open packet behind a tub of stock powder). Feel bad forsaking the awesome cherry pie filling + squirty cream combo, though.

raspberry jam
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 22:17 (seventeen years ago)
We finished off a good plate of 15 or so blandcakes and they were de-li-cious thanks. I mean, ffs, once you've poured maple syrup or choco sauce or bananas and honey over the things ain't nobody gonna know if you've separated the egg whites first.
― Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 23:43 (seventeen years ago)
NOTE that i have not tried this recipe but eagerly anticipate it:
3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cold or at room temperature 4 large eggs 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Vegetable oil for brushing griddle
Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl. Whisk together water, coffee, eggs, butter, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Let stand 15 minutes (batter will thicken).
Brush a griddle or 12-inch nonstick skillet with oil and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.
Working in batches of 3 or 4, pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip pancakes with a spatula and cook until cooked through and edges are lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Brush griddle with oil between batches.

wouldn't a baked pancake be just a... cake?
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 05:20 (seventeen years ago)
I guess, but after it comes out of the oven and falls as it cools, it's just a big pancake.
― Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 05:35 (seventeen years ago)
Pancakes were good. Enjoyed with the old-school lemon and sugar topping and, as hoped for, very nice quality Canadian maple syrup.
The over-cooked chocolate cake with the squigy centre and the chewy, nigh on rock-hard in parts, outside casing was surprisingly addictive too.
As per new year, I'm giving up smoking for lent.

I went with the very conservative maple syrup and lemon juice/sugar choices last night. Although, we've got a jar of preserved cherries in the fridge, so I did consider blitzing some of those up with a bit of orange juice.
We found a good batter recipe this year: it uses melted butter for some of the liquid. Then you don't need any oil in your pan.
