Sarge - and other pancake officionados - the Pancake House chain in London used to serve humungous ones on equally humungous plates, with various toppings. My fave was vanilla icecream splodged in the middle with drizzles of chocolate sauce.
Posh people roll them up with the butter/sugar/lemon juice inside. Distinct advantage there - you get more pancakes on a plate. Really though they should be fried in butter Guess - maybe your Mum was into healthy eating?
A Danish variant uses the same batter cooked like little yorkshire puds, served cold filled with berries and sprinkled with icing sugar... gawd I'm peckish!

From the Indian (Hindi I think) word for pancake which is Roti or Rotee.
I quite like the little ones from the guy at the night market. If you go to the shop where he parks his stall in the day time, near the Original Chippie, you can get them with a curry, otherwise it jam or bananas.
I got him a bottle of Lime juice and a jar of sugar once so that I could get them like Mags says with lime juice and sugar all rolled up. We did use butter but it went on the top.
Pompooey!!!

Hi Guess - does that guy mash them all up when nearly cooked? And slap condensed milk on? You want to stop him mashing and overcooking but I never mastered how to say 'enough cooking' !

No. There are two at least. The guy I refer to is a Muslim and does them Muslim style. They a generally drier and savory. However he has to cater for the tastes of the locals and does have condensed milk but he always asks farangs if they want it first.

As a kid many years ago pancakes only appeared once a year, Shrove Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras ie. fat Tuesday when all the leftovers were used up. The Caribbean Carnival come from 2 wordsm carne, meat and val short for valedictory, farewell.
