Pancakes with...

Here in Flanders, it's a tradition that women (plus their spouses) go and have a waffle or pancake when shopping. I don't know where else this custom is kept, but you should just see the tearooms here between 2 and 5 p.m.

My absolute favorite are pancakes with what we call 'advocaat' - a drink made with eggs and liquor. But I also like pancakes with caramelised apple, whipped cream, icecream and Grand Marnier.... Or a waffle with hot cherries and whipped cream....

We just returned from the tearoom and we had... pancakes with advocaat!

Yes, Flanders is definitely the place to be for those who like sweet desserts!
