I hate the sticky mess, but I have to admit I love the taste. There's something about the melted chocolate, and they're even good once they've cooled down and the chocolate hardens up again.

Despite making loads of pancakes on and around Shrove Tuesday, you've given me a yearning for some more.<br /><br />Thanks BTW for all your comments on my blog and for saying nice things about the new look.

I truly think I could eat pikelets forever, and there are so many variations that it would almost be possible to have a different flavour each day. Chocolate chips are a great addition here :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-80773942992679552392014-03-21T09:57:26.589+11:002014-03-21T09:57:26.589+11:00They look like the "drop scones" we ofte...They look like the "drop scones" we often had for afternoon tea growing up. Very popular with me with strawberry jam! I don't think I've ever put chocolate chips in pancakes, as ubiquitous as the idea is.
