Recipe: Perfect Pancakes with sugar and lemon

Pancakes with sugar and lemon. Scotch pancakes and Welsh cakes are also different - they are thicker, and belong to the family of griddle cakes, and drop scones. These are what we will be making and eating on Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Day! The only accompaniment that is needed, is a fresh lemon or two and caster sugar.

These crepes can be filled with the toppings suggested below or Nutella, butter and sugar, cinnamon and sugar, fruit compote, or sauteed apples. (Not including the lemon and sugar topping). To serve, sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in half, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up.
