Happy Pancake Day! Who doesn’t love an excuse to enjoy some warm, fluffy pancakes. To help you celebrate, we’ve created a list of our top topping combinations to make sure your Shrove Tuesday is extra tasty! Whether you like them sweet or savoury, we’ve got you covered.
Chocolate Classic: Nutella and Strawberries
Want to satisfy your sweet tooth? Who could say no to this super delicious and easy topping combo. Spread a generous dollop of Nutella (or your chocolate spread of choice) and decorate with fresh, tasty berries – strawberries are our personal favourite. It’s one the kids will love, whilst also getting in some of your 5-a-day!
Sweet and Simple: Sugar and Lemon
An absolute classic. Simply sprinkle some sugar over your pancakes before squeezing on some fresh lemon juice. Following this order lets the sugar soak up the lemon juice for the ultimate zesty flavour! It’s quick, easy, and never disappoints.
Traditional Savoury: Syrup and Bacon
If you’re looking for a savoury pancake day treat, this combination will have you drooling. Start with some classic, American-style pancakes (thick and fluffy works better than crepes for this one), and top with thin, streaky bacon for that salty crunch. Finish off with a delicate drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy this glazed dream.
Savoury Twist: Smoked salmon and cream cheese
Possibly a controversial topping, but perfect for those that want to add a little sophistication to their pancake day. This recipe works best with crepe-style pancakes, rather than the buttermilk kind. Spread a generous layer of your favourite cream cheese over the crepe and top with a slice of smoked salmon seasoned to your liking, before garnishing with some chives. This savoury treat will leave you stuffed!
