Be Shrove Tuesday ready with our favourite pancake toppings!
With pancake day around the corner we’ve put together our top ten best finds for the perfect pancake topping!
- Lemon and sugar – the classic – sweet and zingy rolled into one.
- Ice cream and peaches – the creamy ice cream works well with the sweetness of peaches.
- Chocolate spread and strawberries – indulge yourself, add chocolate spread to a warm pancake and watch it melt, scatter chopped strawberries for the finishing touch.
- Peanut butter and banana – an energy booster, smooth or crunchy, take your pick and spread along with a sliced banana.
- Bacon and cheese – turn your pancake savoury with this winning combination, leave out the sugar in your batter mix, if you wish.
- Lemon curd and meringue – this is an upgrade to the classic lemon and sugar. Smother lemon curd over your pancake before crumbling a meringue over the top, delicious.
- Yoghurt and berries – lighter on the calories, choose your favourite yoghurt and top with seasonal berries.
- Smoked salmon and cream cheese – perfect for brunch, packed with protein, this is a savoury winner.
- Leek, mushroom and feta cheese – why not have pancakes for dinner with this filling and vegetarian option.
- Clementine and Cointreau – and for the grown-ups, why not try slicing a fresh clementine with a drizzle of citrusy Cointreau on top.
