Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is on Tuesday 4th March this year. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent (time to give up all the naughty sins again, bye bye fizzy sweets). It's date is determined by Easter and therefore changes yearly.
To make your Pancake Day the best yet, I thought it would be my mission to scowl the internet for unusual pancake recipes. For all the recipes shown below there are many variations on the internet, so don't be scared to mix things up a little.
Oat Pancakes
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup of dry rolled gluten-free oatmeal (ground into flour)
- 1/2 cup of almond milk
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
This recipe is suitable for those who are looking to be a healthy, serve with fruit to make it even healthier!
Peanut Butter Pancakes
- 1295ml Whole milk
- 250g All purpose flour
- 113g unsalted butter, melted & slightly cooled
- 100g Granulated sugar
- 63g Peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
If you
are feeling devilish why not add chocolate chips into this recipe!
Two Ingredient Pancakes
- Two eggs
- 1/2 a cup of mashed bananas
This is by far the lowest calorie recipe that is until you add the chocolate sauce! They are surprisingly good, but do not expect this to taste like a regular pancake...

Chocolate Pancakes
- 250ml Milk
- 100g Plain flour
- 15g Coco powder
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (plus a little extra for frying)
Toppings
And as for pancake toppings, everyone has their favourite. Mine is lemon and sugar. There is so many options, whether it be sweet or savoury.
On my search of the internet I found what I believe to be an American website listing 102 pancake toppings for National Pancake Day. I've picked 5 of the most unusual ones below, I wonder if any of my readers will be brave enough to try them:
- Goats cheese and strawberry jam
- Blue cheese
- Roasted nuts with soy sauce
- Sausage gravy
- Caviar
If like me you are not brave enough, why not take a look at their website to find the more normal pancake toppings http://foodiesunite.com/2011/02/102-pancake-toppings-for-national-pancake-day/
If you already know that you'll get frustrated, be too tired or too lazy to cook; why not book yourself in to a restaurant and get someone to do all the hard work for you. Such as My Old Dutch, with 3 restaurants spread out over London situated in Holburn, Chelsea and Kensington. Visit their website to see the menu, http://www.myolddutch.com/
Why not share your recipe ideas and photos, add them into the comments. Have a happy Pancake Day!
