So what do you put on your pancakes?!?

Me, i like to put cheese on them with or without ham...
Slices of bananas or apple are nice too...
Syrup of course or jam...

Ew.

Butter and maple syrup, and that be all.

I've been on a butter only kick lately.

I'm weird.

That's how I do it.

No need to drown them in syrup if they're worth a shit to begin with.

Butter and a little bit of raspberry or boisenberry jam.

Butter, regular syrup or one of about four varieties of Smuckers syrup I have.

Cheese?

maple syrup. lots of it.

Yeah...
I'm talking about the big but thin pancakes(crêpes)...
Put some slices of cheese on it, nuke it for under 30 seconds...
Tasty...

I'm firmly in the butter and syrup category, too.

But when I make my patented banana pancakes (which, come April, I will not have made for YEARS ), they just aren't complete with some banana slices right on top.

Pecan Cracker Barrel pancakes, with hot syrup and butter. With bacon and hot biscuits, maybe some salty eggs... yeah, that's my childhood memory of breakfast with the family.

If anyone wants to share in the goodness of banana pancakes, here's how I do (did ) it:

Begin by selecting one, two or three (depending on how much banana flavor you want and how many people you're feeding) of the biggest, ripest, most awesome bananas off your bunch and throwing them into the freezer overnight. Eat the rest.

After you sleep, remove the bananas from the freezer and let them thaw in a bowl. Don't try to microwave them or anything, that just makes them gross. When they're done, carefully peel and go to the next step.

Start with a usual pancake dry mixture or these ingredients:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
* 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* 2 tablespoons melted butter

I've learned from watching food network it might be best to combine the dry ingredients and wet in separate bowls and then mix both together into a third bowl. I've personally never done it, but you might like that extra step.

Put them all and in either a) a blender, b) a food processor or c) a mixing bowl and your best whisk. Combine the pancake mix and the bananas until they form a pretty lumpy batter. If you're stuck with the whisk method, you'll be thanking me for the frozen/thawed bananas by now since they turn to mush like nobody's business.

Once the batter is to your liking, set up your stove and best comal/griddle. Set your heat to medium/high or high depending on how your range works and spill the smallest drop of oil on the cooking surface. Then just spoon out the cakes until they're the size you want and cook like any other pancake. I usually never make enough and wind up making several batches, myself, so let that be a warning.

To serve, nothing beats a few slices of your remaining bananas on top of the pancakes, but odds might be there aren't any more, and that's okay, too. Some like whipped cream, I don't. That's about it.

Wow, a DP dp!

About 75% of the time I mix chocolate chips into the bastards when I make 'em.

I do that when I make 'em for MM...she ...likes those.

Techman buys bootie with chocolate chip pancakes!!!

Apricot jam.

When I feel like pigging out, I put some Nutella on.

I prefer the blood of soulless children.

Jelly usually. Sometimes syrup.

Butter and maple syrup.

Anything else just fucks up a good pancake.

Pancakes take up valuable bacon room.

Naw, bacon and sausage are great to soak up the extra maple syrup.

a touch of butter, and plenty of syrup. Seriously, what else is there?

Pancakes? Almonds and cream cheese>

Someone should totally hijack this thread with a discussion on abortion or the KKK or something.

Lingonberry jam.

You can't have anything else on pancakes. People who have anything else than lingonberry jam on their pancakes should be shot.

a.

Powdered sugar.... or maple syrup. When I make them, I put cheese in some of them. Putting cheese on top and then nuking it won't come close to the crispy cheese taste. Of course, it's a bit of a hassle as the cheese tends to stick, but it's well worth it. And on that note, seeing how I just got up, I just decided to go make myself some pancakes for breakfast! YUMMMM!!

Peanut butter and maple syrup. mmmmmm!

Nuteeeellaaa.

Hmm....I was figuring you'd say blood for some reason.

I'm traveling and can't make pancakes today. I might have to do an IHOP trip this morning.

Sugar and lemon juice, like most Brits.
If I'm in NYC, I'll have maple syrup.
