  i always have my pancakes with icecream, sauce and chopped nuts all rolled up together, with a final lashing of sauce over the top of all your rolled pancakes and a sprinkling on sugar.

  We found these pancakes a bit stodgy and crunchy round the outsides. The batter seems a bit thick for pancakes.

  I lightened the mixture by using 2/3 skimmed milk and 1/3 water. This made the pancakes less stodgy and I cut down the amount of melted butter by a half

  This is Brian Turner's recipe for yorkshire pudding - works well when cooked for 25min at 225 C but needs a little diluting for pancakes.

  Made these yesterday for pancake day. Very good - served them with lemon and sugar, but there were a lot of eggs in this recipe compared to other pancake recipes.

  I used 100g of flour, 200ml semi-skimmed milk, 3 large eggs topped up to 200ml with extra milk. Served them with chocolate spread, strawberries and brandy squirty cream (which I bought by mistake!) We usually have ham and cheese for main course then sweet fillings for dessert. One user said these were bland - all pancakes are bland unless you add sugar or vanilla etc to the batter or serve them with fillings.

  Very good! We enjoyed these with bacon and lingonberry jam... which I am realizing sounds strange outside scandinavia... but delicious nonetheless
