    Anywho I had pancakes twice at the weekend (bob's redmill gluten free ones) with maple bacon. So what's everyone's topping?


    I'm a lemon/Sugar kind of man.

    On the weekend I had pancakes with bacon and maple syrup on them, yum!!

    I would love to do Nutella but I can't have a jar in my house unless I want to sit there with a spoon and go to town.

    I bought Nutella and usually have that problem but I found a recipe for Nutella shortbread that just uses Nutella, flour and milk that I'm going to try to use up the excess.

    I normally put sugar and lemon on them.

    However I got cinnamon sugar at Aldi this year to try on a few.

    Sounds good! I love cinnamon so would love to try that sugar with stewed apples. Yum!

    Lemon and sugar... also love golden syrup on them for that extra sugar high

    I make pancakes every Saturday morning for the family. We have various different colour food colouring so they take it in turns to pick what colour pancakes they want. Similar to DvB I usually leave them to the kids and wife however if I do have one I like peanut butter on mine.

    Nutella and peanut butter for me.
    I don't mind butter and sugar but I find the lemon ghastly.

    I have to say guys I've never really liked pancakes myself. When I was younger we'd have them with sugar sprinkled on top and lemon juice over. Nowadays when we have them I prefer them on their own with no toppings at all. They're nice with spaghetti bolognese as you can dip them into it. I'm happy with them plain.

    Another lemon & sugar fan here, although aside from the pancake mix, I also picked up a packet of the ready made pancakes to heat up & a jar of Lotus Biscoff Biscuit spread to go on top.

    I got a packet of the ready made crepe style ones in Tesco to supplement the 'real' pancakes I'll be having tomorrow.

    My favourite fillings are jam, and nutella/strawberries. :)

    Our kids love nutella, they also like fresh strawberries with that whipped cream from a can... though this year said they'd settle for just Nutella!!

    Normally when we make them they tend to be thicker than the shop bought crepe ones, but on Saturday we had managed to get them quite thin so fingers crossed we can repeat that for them tomorrow evening! I dread to think of the reaction if we dont :eek:

    Den man thank god I'm not the only one! Have no interest in pancakes, never did but its tradition to have one or two tomorrow so I will but only with lemon and sugar.

    In great form today, great to have a break from work and it was so mild we had a great time in park and even had a picnic.

    Some people just want to watch the world burn! I genuinely thought yesterday was Tuesday, hence my question about the toppings. I even logged on to a family zoom call which we have Tuesday night and was pee'd no one showed for until my OH told me what day it was.

    Booked in for the astra zeneca vaccine on the 27th.

    I do that all the time these days Jude. It's a bit like groundhog day for me so regularly get my days mixed up!

    Good to hear about the vaccine. Will that make much of a difference for you? what you can do day to day etc?

    A group of my mates on whatsapp were last night discussing how many of their elderly parents etc. have gotten appointments for their vaccines this week and it was such a positive boost to hear of people we knew starting to get looked after. It might be a slower process than we'd all like, but we'll get there and its a look at the better days to come.

    Maybe it's the fact, it's no longer raining or windy, maybe it's the fact it's brighter for longer or maybe the fact it's February and not January but I am feeling way more positive this week than last. I really feel like this will be the year we will get back to normal.

    I don't like Boris Johnson but I do like his approach with their 3rd lockdown at the moment, he said it's going to be their last and while it might last for a bit longer and they will be slow to re-open everything together, once a restriction is lifted it is irreversable so they won't be closing again, which is great news for their pub/hotel trade once they get the green light.

    Happy Pancake Tuesday!
    Little man had his first ever pancakes this morning. Gave him sugar and lemon, he loved them!!:D

    Delighted to hear of people being vaccinated...it's the positivity we need!! :)

    Looks like the rain is on it's way here. Glad we got out for a walk earlier.

    Oh how did I forget, another injured one to add to the list. Have awful lower left back pain since last night...get it on and off, especially since having my son. Trying to take it easy but he's not getting any easier to lift these days!!

    Hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday :)

    My folks are in the over 70s group so hopefully will be getting their first shot soon. Once they are fully vaccinated I will feel a lot better.

    We are going to book a house in Ireland somewhere for a week in July, once Elf 1 is finished school to take them away. Will give them something to look forward to :)

    My folks are in the group too, good point, once they are vaccinated and travel opens up, I will feel so much happier about travelling down to them.
