Pancakes are a super popular food and seem to crop up in various forms in cuisines from all around the world. However you like to make the actual pancakes, there are then even further choices to be made about what to have on these satisfying bases. Sweet toppings are very common and popular, but there’s so much that can be done with savory toppings too. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Cheese and Onion
This classic pairing never fails. Once the pancakes are cooked in the pan, sprinkle over some cheese and fried onions and let the cheese melt. To take this even further, try it with caramelized onions.
Lentil Dhal and Chutney
Dhal works great with something to mop it up, and so pancake works perfectly. Add your choice of chutney to elevate this exciting vegan option. Dhal can be easily made by frying onions with plenty of spices and then adding red lentils and some water or stock and simmering until the lentils are cooked.
Scrambled Eggs and Bacon
This is a great twist on a traditional breakfast. You can add any extra toppings you like to create an even heartier breakfast meal, such as fried tomatoes and mushrooms. This would also work well with fried eggs.
