It's never the wrong time of year for pancakes.

I thought they were only called pancakes in February, and the rest of the year they were called "crepes" because it sounds more pretentious.

They were giving away free samples of pancakes in my local supermarket on Friday. With blueberry jam. Yum.

Scotch pancakes. Hot off the girdle (yes, girdle, not griddle), sprinkled with lemon juice and sugar or spread with jam.

Nobody would DARE call them crepes. They'd get a Glesca Kiss if they did.

Gaz, my gran used to make something called "beggars pancakes", which were more like johnnycakes or what they call "biscuits" in the Deep South. They're lovely with gravy.

That one always brought a puzzled smile to my face when I'd see on the breakfast menu in Washington DC - "Biscuits with Sausage Gravy"
I never dared try it. All the other breakfast foodstuffs were so laden with sugar that somehow it seemed plausible that their idea of a biscuit might actually be the same as mine!

johnnycakes sound horrid - why don't you flush them down the loo?

RossB, we where in Calafornia last year and my daughter had sausage and egg biscuits for breakfast in Mcdonalds, they are not what we know as biscuits, but cant remember what they were I will have to ask her.........

Us "biscuits" are a bit like plain scones - I quite like them.

For Pancakes (to be novel, and go back to original posting), lemon and sugar is my favorite also.

Pancakes are one of the reasons I put on so much weight when I lived in USA. Getting a bit foody this thread today - methinks people are craving some winter warmers

with blackpepper and salt - like a big flat yorkshire pud, then after that with a few bits of very dark chocolate melted inside them!

Codfather, I will get out my recipe book and e-mail you my Scotch pancake recipe later. Can't quite remember it because I haven't made pancakes since doing a bumper batch for a party on Shrove Tuesday. My mum used to make them while we kids hung around like fledglings waiting to stuff them in our beaks before they had cooled. We had beggars pancakes with salt for breakfast as a special treat when staying with Gran. That or really wonderful porridge - still don't know what her secret was.

Remember The Pancake Place? I wonder if McD put it out of business?

Sugar and lemon, classic, my fave.
