We'd eaten tooo many fastelavnsboller (Danish cream cakes with various fillings), so we didn't do pancake day this year.

I didn't even have any bollar Snoopysue. My son is over for a visit and we were on a family trip round the country. I just bought a food magazine with lots of very fancy recipes for bollar so I might have a belated bun-day soon.

Excellent for us, wheat-free pancakes made to Good-Housekeeping's original recipe but with 1oz rye, 1oz barley and 2oz gluten free flour (I used self-raising by mistake so the pancakes were a bit soft) instead of ordinary plain flour. Lemon & sugar for me Golden Syrup for MrsSRD, washed down with a glass of Sauternes. Only trouble is it always presages Ash Wednesday and I stop drinking alcohol for 40 days. :( not that I'm religious, it's for the good of the liver and my self-respect. :lol:

They are well worth the trouble, although we're too lazy to make them out selves!
I prefer the ones that are more pastry (a bit like choux pastry); gammeldags (old fashioned ) boller are more bread like.
As to fillings, whipped cream together with custard and good quality raspberry jam is my favorite
