I don’t know about you but I still have Christmas decorations lurking about so to think that Pancake day is just 20 days away seems absurd, but it really is only 20 days until 12th February. The day when mums and dads around the nation don their aprons and get tossing. I dread to think how many pancakes I have made in the past. It is a lot. Last year, because I wasn’t home, I did the unheard of and bought some ready made ones. I have to admit they worked out a lot less cheaper and were a lot less hassle than making them from scratch. They certainly have their place when you are short of time.
I was sent some Abra-ca-Debora pancakes to try out…we made savory wraps with the traditional dutch pancakes by filling them with grated cheese and ham, and chocolate filled pancakes with the sweet dutch pancakes. I however sneaked one away and filled it with golden syrup which is my preferred choice of filling ( even better topped with clotted cream, but I’m being ‘good’ at the moment “cough” 😉 ) The great thing with pancakes is that they are just so versatile you can fill them with just about anything! Follow Abra-ca-Debora on Twitter for more ideas.
I am so excited that one lucky winner will win a hamper full of Pancake goodies containing everything you could possibly need for Pancake day including Abra-ca-Debora pancakes, sweet and original, chutney, Marmite, chocolate, maple syrup, lemon and icing sugar all in a wicker hamper with a total retail value of about £50.

Hershey’s chocolate sauce with strawberries. Yum!
My favourite topping is the good ol’ fashioned lemon juice and a sprinkling of granulated sugar. Ohhh yum!
Blueberry , strawberries and ice cream with a little splash of cointreau ( interesting as i dont normally like anything alcoholic ) ..but just a dash is amazing
Best eaten outside in the sunshine !!

Lemon & sugar please x retro
Nom, nom, love pancakes.
For me it has to be plain lemon and sugar. However, if I was really treating myself, I’d go Little Chef Jubilee pancake style with cherry filling and ice cream.
J’s fave filling for his gluten free pancakes is MAPLE SYRUP… although it’s more of a lake made of syrup than just a filling that makes his day!
Strawberry jam!
Banana and caramel for me!
I love savoury pancakes, especially spinach and feta
I can’t resist a chocolate filled pancake…Yum!
@crazzzyRaj
Good old fashioned sugar and lemon for me. Making my mouth water just thinking about it!
Butterscotch sauce with crushed pecan nuts, yum!
Golden Syrup! Calorie overload but amazing! <3
A dusting of icing sugar and a drizzle of Chocolate Sauce
Simple: Lemon, butter & sugar (maybe the odd strawberry!)
sliced berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) with fresh
Yogurt – maple yogurt if it can be found! – you all have to try this! You will denying yourself a moment of paradise!!
I call it marks very merry-berry- pancake dream!
like many it’s the first filling I had when I was a kid and still my favourite, lemon and sugar 🙂
Blueberry sauce & icecream
I like the traditional lemon and sugar 🙂
@caro_mad
Chilli con Carne for me!
Lemon and sugar here too!
I hate to be boring but just sugar for me
Has to be lemon and sugar, although would love to try savoury ones!
It has to be a simple lemon & sugar combo..
I love lemon and sugar!
