Five pancake recipes to try this pancake day

We’ve tried lemon and sugar, we love a blueberry pancake, and occasionally we go all out with the bacon and maple syrup. But it’s lockdown and the kids are off with nothing to do, so maybe its time to get a bit adventurous with your pancake toppings.

Here’s five recipes to elevate your pancake game this pancake day.

Apple and cinnamon

A comforting treat for cold evenings, this pancake topping tastes just like an apple crumble! Stew some apples, add some maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon for an autumnal feast that includes one of your five a day! You could even top with pecans for an added crunch.

Crêpes Suzette

If you’re feeling particularly decadent, give a Crêpe suzette a go – but maybe don’t try setting it on fire like they do fancy restaurants! A classic French recipe, this zesty treat includes a dash of Cointreau or Du Marnier, so this might be one for after you’ve put the kids to bed! They can have the non-alcoholic version, which is actually rather healthy in comparison to other pancake toppings.

Eggs Benedict pancakes

Why not do a big mash up of breakfast favourites with an eggs benedict pancake? Not everyone has a sweet tooth, so here is a pancake day recipe that will delight savoury fans.

There’s so many variations to eggs benedict, too. Classic eggs benedict is with ham, but you can substitute the ham for smoked salmon (eggs Royale) or spinach (eggs Florentine).

Fried banana

Paired with Nutella, peanut butter, or simply just syrup, we can all agree that bananas are a firm pancake day favourite. But why not fry your bananas first for a bit more indulgence? Not only does it remind us of a classic banana split, but it’s also a great way to use up your bruised or overly ripe bananas!

Cinnamon roll pancakes

Now this is the ultimate combination of desserts! If you love cinnamon rolls (who doesn’t) and you love pancakes, then this pancake recipe is the stuff of dreams.
