Simple is best. Plain with a generous squeeze of orange -

Sugar and syrup for me.
Rather implausibly, the chef-owner of the local pancake eatery is Chelsea old boy, Ken Monkou.

Chilli.
And this is for the main course. Allow two to three generously filled pancakes per person.
Basically a red kidney beans in chilli/tomato sauce mixture, but without the meat (for us - of course you can add the meat if you want to). You need to cook it fairly dry and then roll it into the pancakes. We have it often. It's a remarkably good combi, because the sharp acidic taste of the chilli sauce, and the bland taste of the pancake batter, complement each other nicely. Try it!
Oh: and all that fuss (above) about making the perfect pancake - forget it! Getting the pancake to cohere properly without tearing, and without being too greasy - once you've mastered that you're away...

Just finished ours. I'm always duty chef for pancakes. Standard lemon and sugar are order of the day, but I sometimes have Black Treacle as for a change.
As I am on a strict diet, I only had fruit as the other course.

It has to be lemon juice and sugar, failing that nutella is not too bad.

Lemon Juice and Maple Syrup 
But today - no lemon juice
So banana and maple syrup
