For pancakes I grew up on the Bisquick ones, but most of the time we had crepes made from scratch (generally served a bit thicker than tradtional crepes). Toppings for the crepes were either maple syrup like a p-cake, or sprinkle on brown sugar and roll it up into a tube.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

We frequently have Breakfast For Dinner. Which for us is usually waffles, bacon and fruit. I guess we tend to do it more often in spring, when we have an overabundance of strawberries with which the bury the waffles.

Frank, it sounds like your crepes were closer to my Swedish pancakes, which I've always equated to thicker crepes.

I just had a wonderful idea. My Swedish friend from work just brought back some homemade lingonberry jam. She's also coming over for dinner tomorrow night. I sense pancakes in the offing...Mwahahahahahah!

The pancakes we had on Shrove Tuesday the year I lived in England were what I'd call crepes.
They were also yummy, of course. Nothing like a warm crepe with sugar and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Nom nom nom.

Yeah, that's what we do for Pancake Day. I actually prefer that kind to the regular fluffy ones. mmm.

Oooh, it's a shame I won't quite be in France yet--crepes twice in one week!
But I am looking forward to finally buying a real crepe pan when I'm there. They are impossible to find here.
