don't forget the pancakes

I absolutely can't wait until Tuesday- pancake day is one of my favourite days of the year. In anticipation, I've been searching Etsy for some wonderful Shrove Tuesday related goodies.


I tend to be rather unadventurous with my toppings and stick to traditional lemon and sugar or sticky Nutella (although I have been known to indulge in Calvados on French crepes...)

I need some inspiration- what are your favourite pancake toppings?


ps do you remember this?

    Calvados? I'd say that is quite adventurous, compared to my usual maple syrup, lol! Pancakes for grownups, mmmm, I must give that a try.

    I especially like the advert because we used to have those very 80s plates!

    We sticky with either sugar and lemon or golden syrup, not very exciting but we do toss our pamcakes with vigour and hope they don't stick to the ceiling!

    You really can't beat lemon and sugar though! We made a rose petal syrup last year (it was meant to be a jam) it's perfect on pancakes, ooh my mouth is watering.

    Ah, pancake day already, how exciting! My favourite topping is apricots (jam, fresh, whatever) and whipped cream. Mango and whipped cream also good.

    Thanks for visiting MM earlier, and for your kind words - lovely to find another happy-moments-in-life escapist out there!

    Love the pictures on your blog by the way.

    Blast from the past! (the advert that is, not the pancakes;D)
    What makes my pancakes taste so nice is that my daughter makes them for me! Lemon and sugar is mandatory :P

    hmmm, love pancakes... traditional lemon and sugar is great, but other favourite's include, cherry and ice cream, nutella and banana, crepe suzette, fudge pieces and toffee sauce and of course, strawberry jam.

    Pancake day, thanks for the reminded it could have quite easily slipped me by.
    I'm a classic girl when it comes to pancakes, sugar and lemon juice does it for me!

    Thank all- looks like lemon and sugar is the outright winner then. I don't feel so boring after all x
