pancake day | pad patter 2.15.21

I like oatmeal pancakes with seasonal fruit and some yoghurt ...instead of whipped cream ..

 

I eat chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate chips between the layers so it melts into a type of chocolate frosting.

 

Bisquick pancakes ... although I'm not a huge fan of pancakes. I do make them for my grandkids.

 

I’m a fan of most pancakes though tend to only have them once in a while for breakfast for dinner as they don’t really sustain me long enough if I have them for breakfast. I actually had apple pancakes with sprinkled sweetener on them last night for dinner.

 

we like our pancakes savoury - with egg, ham, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms etc cooked on top - French style. We are on a gluten free diet, and we discovered that the traditional Breton pancakes (Brittany) are made with buckwheat. Hubby is currently cooking some for dinner.

 

The Rotary Club in town has hosted a pancake day to raise money for scholarships for almost 60 years (2020 was year #59). When I worked my employer would buy tickets for all the employees. If we didn't go at lunch time (was hard since we only had 30 minutes), I would stop and pick up a carryout order on my way home from work. The last few years I worked, the Rotary Club actually worked with the company to deliver the carryout orders to the business. They usually have dine-in and carry out but in 2020, they only did the carry out.

It is always held the first Thursday in October so some years it fell on my birthday. Meal included pancakes (all you can eat), link sausages (used to be free extras but they had to start charging for extras!) and drink of your choice... milk, coffee or water. I was one of those that ate extra sausages. Love the pancakes but the fill me up. Have to have lots of butter and syrup on them... and lots of syrup on the sausages as well!

 

Love mine with cinnamon sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.

 

It's Paczki Day here... so I braved the cold and snow to pick ours up!

I tend to make regular pancakes (bisquick, like @Memaw2Wm) if I make them. We like them with peanut butter in addition to butter and syrup.

I made a sheet pan pancake for the first time over Christmas break and it was sooooo good!

Was just looking through my cupboard for dinner ideas for tomorrow (today's is in the crockpot) and I saw a couple of boxes of Hungry Jack Potato Pancake mix. I bet those would be soft enough for my soft food diet. Now those I smother in apple sauce. I know they aren't the same as real German potato pancakes but for this non-cook, they suffice!

 

Oh man, I missed pancake day!?!

There's a great old pancake house down the street from me. It's been there since 1959, good old traditional pancake house. All the furniture is sturdy oak. The busboys are so attentive. For some reason they sell Beanie Babies in the lobby. Lol! Anyway, I love their Swedish pancakes. They come with the most amazing lingonberry butter. You seriously waddle out of there, but it's all just so good.
