I saw all kinds of pancake batter recipes yesterday evening when peeking at a few blogs. I like to keep things simple, so I use the pouring batter recipe from the trusty Be-ro recipe book (100g flour, 1 egg, pinch of salt, half a pint of milk).
I only really have one pancake flipping success tip, which is to use a very hot pan and not very much oil/butter. Cameron was extremely pleased to find that I had not lost my pancake flipping mojo! I always keep a cold pan ready beside me when we are pancake making so he can have a go at flipping without having to worry about the hot pan.
We like our pancakes to be medium thickness. Not as thick as american pancakes, thick crepe-like pancakes.
This year we decided to do banana and chocolate sauce pancakes. I made the chocolate sauce using this recipe, but with different milk. It was all really nice and simple - chopped bananas, drizzled with chocolate sauce and wrapped up into a roll with more chocolate sauce drizzled on top!
I'm totally out of ideas for next time - what did you have in your pancakes this year?

Sticklers for tradition, our favourite is lemon and sugar. We were rather daring this year though and tried stewed apple with cinnamon too, which was very yummy. I got a round of applause for my pancake tossing!
Woohoo - a round of applause! You must be very good at tossing ;o)
Lemon and sugar on pancakes is so delicious, I might go back to that next time.
We went pancake crazy yesterday and tried every filling, all of them sweet?! But my husband loves just lemon and sugar and after my massive pancake consumption I think he could be right, simple and yummy x
Hi Emily - sounds like you had a lot of pancake fun! What things did you try?
I had black cherries with chocolate sauce. The kids had all sort on theirs - toffee sauce and lemon and sugar, treacle, jam and chocolate sauce and I did a flipover 5 times on the same pandcake much to ds delight.
Ooh! Black cherries sounds really good.
