Pancakes in Australia come both thick (flapjack style) and thin (almost crepe-like) and I eat them with lemon & sugar, or maple syrup, or ice-cream, or any way that occurs to me at the time.

I like to eat pancakes. They are very, very tasty.
(boot, honey, I hope you were the one who sent me the link to the pancake video, or else this comment will make absolutely no sense. ;)

I’ll eat pancakes at any hour of the day… I also like Green Eggs & Ham for Sam I Am.

MMMMMMMM Pancakes. If Oscar and I leave NY now, will we be there in time for breakfast?

Bake? Nope it wasn’t me. You have piqued my curiousity now though.
Whatever you have on your pancake, it always seems to leave you wishing you’d had the other thing.

For the curious: the pancake video. :)

Next time I eat pancakes I shall have this playing in the background.
I shall not, however, be having them with nutella.
Nutella is for sandwiches. Mmmm, nutella.

I originally got sort of confused on the whole “eat lemon and sugar on pancakes” issue while reading Boot’s four-word Twitter entries a few days ago. (Not that I’m not prone to confusion a lot already, even when folks write prose-style.)
[edited to keep from coming off like a big noodge]

If I removed my own self-inflicted four words each time limit in twitter, I’d loose interest in it altogether. For writing, that is. For lurking, it is an excellent service.
Sorry, Pam. For the whole story, you’ll just have to keep coming back to Scrine. Oh, the tragedy! (heh)
And, hey, your original post didn’t make you sound like a big noodge. If you’re a noodge (whatever the hell that is), then I am too.

I’ve never seen such a thing. Lemon & sugar on a thin pancake? This seals it: Foreigners are Weird.
Can it be done on thick flapjacks? Waffles? Or is it only for those thin things which aren’t pancakes at all but some kind of bastardized crepe? Weird. Weird. Weird.
(Thinking of freaking my family out with this soon after you provide the answers to the above...)

If you haven’t already, ‘mouse, do watch the video. All—or at least most—is revealed. :)
Edit: Whoops. I think I misunderstood your question. Sorry about that. I think lemon + sugar works best on the thin pancakes/crepes, but I probably wouldn’t do it on flapjacks. Then again, I’ve eaten flapjacks with damson jam, and with orange compound butter (which includes a small amount of brown sugar) and they were pretty great.

One of the chain pancake places here in town (I think it’s Elmers) serves this sort of pancake, and I believe they call it a German pancake. Whatever it’s called, it’s delicious. Lemon and powdered sugar, for the record.
Keith on 06/17/08 at 08:52 AM ::
I find that the thicker style pancakes need a little more lemon juice else they can be a bit dry, but it can still - and should! - be done.
The good thing is that by adding lemon juice you convert them into health food. Fruit is good for you, ergo all food containing fruit must be also.
Oh, it is to laugh.
boot on 06/17/08 at 04:08 PM ::
So, boot, should the sugar be powdered or granulated?
'mouse on 06/17/08 at 04:27 PM ::
OKAY OKAY! I GIVE IN!!! DAMNIT!
Between this Scrine and “Throwdown with Bobby Flay,” I have heard of nothing, but pancakes and “crepes” for the past two days… : )

Hey, JB, let’s all have pancakes for dinner and Calm Down. They are very calming, y’know. ‘Sides, we need to try ‘em with lemon/sugar to show we’re cool enuf to hang with the likes of boot and Bakerina.
'mouse on 06/17/08 at 05:08 PM ::
I’m thinking with ham and cheese...That’s what Bobby Flay did!
Mmmmmm...Ham and cheese pancakes....
But I’ll do the lemon and sugar thing to show I can hang. lol
JadedBeauty on 06/17/08 at 05:56 PM ::
Cool enuf? Ah, yes. No doubt.
Granulated white sugar, if you would.
Waitress? Two more pancakes!
