Pancakes: oil, lard or butter?

I learned very early in the courting of Mme HF never to use the word "bit" at the dinner table when non-English speakers are present.

Or ''beat'', I imagine. My French ex-partner always had a giggle when we passed the ''soft verge'' sign coming back into London on the A20.

I only use olive oil
