Couple of questions. I haven't been reading your lj long enough to know the conventions, so I thought I'd ask. Are comments to twittered posts expected/normal/okay? If so, feel free to read the rest, if not, stopping would not be offensive.

bready foods: Is that more because you use the butter in the recipe/cooking, or the eating (topping)? I ask partly because this morning I tried a modified version of these pancakes (modified, by preference because I prefer the thicker eggier English style of pancakes to their fluffy spongier American cousins, and by necessity because the yoghurt on hand was peach and grains rather than vanilla and I didn't have whole wheat flour) and I found that the yoghurt gave me a sufficiently similar flavour that butter wasn't needed at the eating stage, and wasn't in the recipe to start with. Aside from that, the pancakes were also really nice.

Comments are always encouraged! The only conventions I know about involving my blog are the ones about how/what I post.

For me, butter is an important part of the topping (I'd give up syrup first), and even more so, the frying. Just a little butter, but it makes a huge difference.

However, soon I will have butter. That looks like a pretty tasty recipe, though! I may need to try it.

On the other hand, I recently accidentally omitted melted butter from the pancake recipe, and they turned out just fine without it!
