Like pancakes? How do you eat your pancakes?

[Ar-Pharazon]

If they're really moist, they're the best thing ever.

If they're too dry, like at Dennys, they soak up the syrup like a sponge.

I like them with butter & maple syrup.

 

[Pondwater]

I love pancakes. Especially with berries and bananas topped with real maple syrup.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

In Aus people also make thin pancakes, almost crepes, and you have them with sugar and lemon on top. Those are pretty good.

 

[Taylirious]

Blueberries!

In them, blueberry syrup on top.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Hot sweet carbs make me feel sick, always have. I've been known to return a muffin when I told them not to heat it up and they heated it up anyway.

 

[Taylirious]

I let all my food cool down if it is sweet. I generally don't like eating really hot foods anyway and let stuff cool down.

ETA: I will heat up soup on the stove till the cook time and then put it in a container then in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before eating. I am so strange!

As a comedian, you have to start the show strong and you have to end the show strong. Those are the two key elements. You can't be like pancakes... all exciting at first, but then by the end you're fuckin' sick of em. - Mitch Hedberg

Anyway, I usually eat about half of one when nice and warm just plain. Then I smother the rest with syrup (not butter). If I have real Maple Syrup, I'll use that, but I'm not picky. And then, by the end, I'm fucking sick of them.

 

[Catarina]

I like them either with a sourish jam like redcurrant jelly or cornel cherry jam or with a mix of plain yoghurt and fresh berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, red currants, black currants, gooseberries - whatever is at hand. See picture below)

My mom eats them with apple purée and/or with heaps of sugar. She insists that "pancakes must crunch" [with sugar], else they don't count as pancakes. Stands to hope she'll never turn diabetic.

Edit: totally forgot: German pancakes differ from your American ones. Ours are larger and very thin and soft. Much like French crepes or Mexican tortillas, only fluffier and softer than either.

OMGosh... that looks divine! I don't like pancakes but I'd certainly try that!

If I had to...hmmm ones with blue berry compote and a side of bacon but I'd rather have that one in the photo

With lemon juice or thinly sliced lemon?
Finely grated lemon zest would also be pretty good in the dough or on top, I think. Must try that out asap.
Do you think homemade lemon curd might make a good pancake topping?

I usually have my Greek version of pancakes with honey and cinnamon, or strawberries.

 

[USS Triumphant]

If they're real, honest-to-Zarquon pancakes that are somewhat thin and have a nice deep brown almost burnt color to them, then I'm having them with real butter and maple syrup, and some bacon, and some of that syrup is going on the bacon. +1 if these are cornmeal pancakes.

If they're whatever those big fluffy light tan things they serve at IHOP are, then I'm having them with strawberry compote and NO syrup. I'll have a plate of eggs and bacon as the actual meal, and save the "pancakes" for dessert, because that's what they amount to, really - a funny shaped strawberry shortcake.

Eggs n Things in Oahu - Delicious!!

MAC24 - I didn’t eat this. Super huge!


why are my images not showing? I have the img /img framing it (with brackets, of course)

 

[rhubarbodendron]

I had a look at the source code. These links don't point to a picture itself but to a java script that in turn displays the picture. As there is no extension code typical for a pic (such as jpg, bmp, tiff etc.) the board's software does not recognize your link as an image. It would, however, recognize it as a link.

Since downloading the images is permitted (there is a download link) I took the liberty to load them down and put them onto my own server (this time without a java script and slightly resized as to not break the thread's layout)
Here they are:

The fiancé likes them simple without anything. I prefer maple syrup.

There is such a thing as diet syrup?

Crazy 'muricans. /shakes head in disbelief

Ok.. i gotta ask!

Butter on pancakes? Wut?

I know this for steaks (especially butter with some herbs for flavor or garlic), i've eaten corn cobs with butter (delicious) and naturally for frying something in the pan or simply on bread.

But on pancakes? I repeat.. wut?

Butter on pancakes is a tradition that goes back to the time when the mighty Druids roamed the earth.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

OMG, those look so good!

I don't know about the rest of you people, but I eat pancakes with a fork. With butter and syrup. Haven't had real pancakes in several years, last one must have been around last March at McDonalds. I don't cook.

Um... last March was not several years ago. Nowhere near!

 

[rhubarbodendron]

FPA, you think German pancakes (i.e. baked in butter and therefore already dripping with fat). These American ones are different. Much thicker and fluffier. More like a MacDonalds roll.

 

[FPAlpha]

Well.. if i want to eat bread for breakfast i'll get bread

I guess it's all about taste.. i grew up with those very thin pancakes and i can't remember ever eating american style pancakes.

To each their own, it just sounded strange to me to put butter on a pancake.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

that doesn't sound half as weird as the maple syrup with bacon
