Happy Pancake Day! How do you like your pancakes?

Greasy horrible things... ugh... no thanks..

although the Finnish version does look slightly more appealing!

I hate pancakes, far too stodgy for me although I have tried them in recent years Los Angeles at IHOP. I found them exactly the same and as for maple leaf syrup....... Yuk!! Give me HP sauce with them and I might just try them again 😉

A proper pancake should NEVER be thick and there is no excuse for it ever being greasy.

Cooked properly, with lemon and sugar added is the only way for me...though my husband likes jam on his..

@Cleoriff For me pancakes are thick, and if it's not thick, it's a crêpe.

@jonsie's idea of HP sauce in pancakes is interesting  Reminds me the best (American style) pancakes I've had was in a breakfast place in San Francisco; fluffy and moderately thick pancakes with whipped cream and fresh berries on top, with a side of crispy bacon strips  and roasted herb potatoes. And a big cup of black coffee of course!

It depends where you came from @Marjo. My Mum was a Geordie and her pancakes were cooked thin.

I doubt she had ever heard of crepes....

My Nan and Aunty were from Yorkshire and they always served thin pancakes. To me a thick pancake is a Yorkshire pudding 

I have tried pancakes made in the US. Covered with fruit and maple syrup....I enjoyed them at the time but the calories, oh the calories.....

PS @jonsie would pour HP sauce over everything I think....

@Marjo my mum made her pancakes thin as @Cleoriff has described ... sadly she did not pass the recipe on to me ... when I try to make pancakes, well, they are inedible = like foam rubber
