Everybody I've spoken to at work today said lemon and sugar. I have chocolate spread or strawberry jam on mine.

How about you all? :awesome:

I had pancakes for lunch with my sister (first time I have had pancakes on Pancake Day in many years). I had one with chocolate spread, one with lemon and sugar and one with golden syrup.

I will be having my usual controversial savoury course of spinach and ricotta first...to be revealed in a bit :lol:

But first: is the tester pancake a universal experience?

Forgot to get a photo of the spinach and ricotta so instead have an attempt at me having crunchy Biscoff on my dessert pancake :rofl:

I also forgot to take pics of my crispy aromatic duck pancakes :sad:

Savoury pancakes are good for the soul, and spinach and ricotta sounds a great combo :teeth:

Tester pancake as in one that doesn't toss properly/goes wrong? Or tester as in you have to eat one to check they'll come out OK?! :colone:

Classic lemon and sugar. :yep:

Though I saw someone somewhere else online mention that orange and sugar was their preference, which I'd be curious to try in future. :hmmmm2:

To make sure the batter is alright and the pan is hot enough!

Classic lemon and sugar for me — it's the one combination where the simplicity is actually the point. That said, pancakes are one of those dishes where presentation makes a massive difference to how satisfying they feel to eat. A stack with a bit of height, a good pour of something glossy over the top, and a few contrasting elements (fresh berries, a dusting of icing sugar) looks genuinely great even on a phone camera. The overhead flat-lay angle actually works really well for pancakes since they're a flat dish — one of the few foods where the bird's eye shot beats the side angle. Anyone else find that the years you make an effort to plate them properly you actually enjoy eating them more?
