Anybody else eat peanut butter on their American pancakes? My family (and extended family) has always eaten pancakes and waffles with either peanut butter and syrup or peanut butter with a jelly or jam. Yum! It must not be a common thing because we tend to get strange looks or comments from boyfriends/girlfriends, prospective members of the family, etc. Please tell me others eat peanut butter on their pancakes and waffles too!
I bet the Brit variety would be good wrapped around sausage. Or maybe wrapped around a stick of butter with some (american) bacon. Mmmmmm I can hear the arteries hardening.
I smother my American version pancakes in butter then with syrup.
Mmmmmmmm.
They are also known as flapjacks, hoecakes, hotcakes, johnny-cakes, and maybe more.
It’s a shame someone didn’t warn you Gary before you went to IHOP.
IHOP RULES!!!
There’s nothing wrong with peanut butter. Like everything else, it has its place. Its place being either on hot buttered toast (with marmite), or in sandwiches (with marmite).
I like the crunchy variety (of peanut butter, not eggs or marmite), but my aged fillings do not, and since I’ve already paid for two of my dentist’s foreign holidays in the last year I’ve switched to the smooth.
The peanut butter thing, on waffles and pancakes; this is the first I ever heard of it, today. So it must be a somewhere else than Calaforny thing…
just ran an office poll. One lady said she heard of including it in the batter from a recipe…
Admittedly I’ve never had Marmite, but I have bought some 1kg tubs of Vegemite over the years so I know what sort of goo it is, and I just can’t see it with peanut butter. Gad, I’m getting horribly thirsty just thinking about it. PB & banana slices, PB & honey, PB & banana slices and honey, PB & jam, jelly, preserves, etc., but PB and Marmite? Do you suck on bouillon cubes for candy?
Well, I’m a CA native, and my family ate PB on waffles and pancakes (usually on waffles; syrup, more often, on pancakes).
Then again, my dad’s from Wyoming, so maybe he imported the habit . . .
My folks also used to cook strips of bacon into our waffles, actually laying them in the batter before closing the iron so that it was cooked into the waffle itself. Then topped with butter, sometime PB, and syrup. Why we didn’t all have heart attacks by age 16 is a mystery.
The PB and marmite thing seems suspect, to me . . . Ick.
