It is acceptable to eat pancakes at any time as long as they are covered in brown sugar with lots of cinnamon. This is what separates us from the savages.
Any other form of pancake eating is just plain wrong, which means you shouldn't be allowed to eat them.
I will not discuss this further unless you agree with me.
This is my favourite topping for pancakes + butter, but I wonder if its just folks of a certain generation, because nowadays people are going with blueberries, maple syrups, nutella, whipped cream etc instead.
Pancakes are just a pretty basic batter. I think that allows a pretty wide range of toppings. Sweet, savory, fruit, cream, butter, sugar, lemon juice, maple syrup, etc. Peking duck is often served with pancakes, but is not the only meat and pancake meal.
Oh man that looks good. Too bad we don't have any ice cream.
We did end up having pancakes for dinner, went with icing sugar and lemon juice (plus that one kid who had to put lemon juice, lime juice, icing sugar, maple syrup, and banana).
