Don't knock it till you've tried it. I didn't think I'd like it either but it's surprisingly good.

Agreed - it's yummy!
I wonder if slicing in a bit of banana, too, would be nice?

I came across this page of ways to use Nutella. Most of then sound delicious...

I prefer to just eat straight sugar, which is cheaper than Nutella
There was advice recently to stop feeding it to children.
Pancakes of the fluffy variety are best with some fruit and maple syrop. Or syrop from Summerland Sweets which is made with every fruit imaginable. I don't know what a boysenberry is but I like it.

Ditto. Real maple syrup or nothing. The other stuff is just colored water with sugar added.
In my youth I worked one summer as a breakfast cook at a Holiday Inn. The chef had a secret for pancakes: separate the eggs, beat the whites stiff, and fold in the beaten whites at the last minute.
I use Bisquick, evaporated milk and, of course, the separated eggs.

My favorite pancakes: Thick (really thick) and fluffy; no flavoring -- no vanilla, cinnamon -- but maybe a serving spoon of sugar in the batter; butter and real maple syrup as toppings. Occasionally blueberries or some fresh cut-up apple in the batter. The current fad of dumping what appears to be canned pie filling on the cakes and then spraying copious amounts of Redi-Whip over the whole mess -- Just. No. But that's just me.

It sounds lovely. Just a pity that it ain't a pancake. Call it something else. Please?
Mrs Grouch is of the firm opinion that a PROPER pancake should be so thin as to be almost transparent. And she does make exceedingly good pancakes....

Pancakes are on special at a local café all week - today I had sliced banana pancake, drizzled with golden syrup. Exquisite.
The Church Pancake Supper was combined with a beetle drive, but instead of throwing the dice to collect parts of a beetle, we had to collect 'ingredients' to make a pancake. First you had to throw a 6 for the bowl.
In the interval there was a choice of sweet and savoury pancakes - I chose chilli con carne (main course) and sugar / lemon and blueberries for dessert.

Scotch pancakes aren't noted for their slenderness, but pancakes they are and very more-ish.

There've been reports recently that when analysed Nutella turns out to have huge amounts of sugar and fat and not a lot of anything else on the mutrition charts. Described as "spreadable candy". And you know that when it comes to chocolate bars, there's chocolate and then there's "candy" ... brown stuff that isn't good enough to be called chocolate.

Sugar is listed as the first ingredient. It's bad for you -- bad, bad, bad!

So this evening I'm going to a nice Italian restaurant and having a good dinner and a glass (or two) of wine.
Whereas I can't stand real maple syrup! Never have liked it. The fake stuff suits me just fine and even better, the sugar-free syrup is quite good and I can eat pancakes without feeling so guilty that I'm adding one more nail to my coffin (Type 2 diabetic).

I think that what you call a Scotch pancake is what I'd call a drop scone.
In the words of the immortal Colin Campbell:

And now to the results of the drop scone competition. Mrs. Sinclair from Keiss, you must have dropped them from a hell of a height ...

The recipe for drop scones is almost identical to my wife's grade 8 Home Ec cooking binder pancake recipe, with the main difference is that ready-made baking powder is used instead of make-your-won with bicarb+cream of tartar. I prefer baking powder, as the sodium bicarbonate adds a funny flavour to my taste buds. We make them with saskatoons or blueberries cooked right in in the summer for breakfast while camping over a fire.
It is interesting how many names pancakes have, and how many things people call pancakes. Do we all agree what a waffle is I wonder?
