Pancake Day has arrived! Time to get flipping đ„
These are our favourite recipes to celebrate with.
Looking for pancakes recipes for Pancake day or Shrove Tuesday? We've got you covered. Pancake Day this year is on 4 March and we've rounded up all of our best pancake recipes right here, to help you get prepared for the delicious day!
Whether you're looking for the traditional batter of a classic pancake recipe or tasty ideas for toppings, we've got the pancake recipe for you. While many prefer to stick to the time-honoured tradition of sugar and lemon on their pancakes, others like to expand to creamy, chocolatey or other sweet-treat toppings.
Savoury pancakes are also becoming increasingly popular, particularly where bacon is involved. We've got a dreamy recipe for maple candied bacon pancakes and even one combining orange, bacon and cinnamon (trust us, it works!).
At Good Housekeeping, our cookery team triple test every recipe and are quite the culinary experts. Here, they share some of their top tips to ensure you make the best pancakes possible on Shrove Tuesday.
âą Always let your pancake batter rest after mixing (about 30 to 45 minutes).
âą Only flip your pancakes once, otherwise, if you over flip, they will end up rubbery and tough
âą Always use a non-stick frying pan
âą Don't be tempted to flip your pancakes too early, allow them to set on the bottom first
âą The best thing to fry your pancakes in is butter
âą Swirl the pan as soon as the batter has been added, don't be tempted to use a utensil to spread it
