Although the date of Shrove Tuesday may change every year – it still holds a special place in many of our stomachs, and this year we have everything you need for a perfect Pancake Day! Historically the tradition of eating pancakes emerged in England as a way of using up milk, butter and eggs before the beginning of Lent; but today Pancake Day is enjoyed by people all over the world as a way to treat themselves to something tasty for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And just incase you weren’t sure, Pancake Day falls on February 12th this year. Here’s what you’ll need…
Pancake Mixes
Show off your flippin’ skills with our Fresh Pancake Batter (£1.99, 580g). Our time saving mix means there is no need for messy measuring or pre-mixing ingredients. It also makes up to 14 pancakes, so there is enough for the whole family to feast on. Or go for our Batter Mix (£2.49, 480g) - you just need to add water and you can use any extra for an American pancake breakfast or even for Sunday roast Yorkshire puds! Super handy to keep in the cupboard. Another favourite is our Farmhouse Pancake & Waffle Mix (£4.49, 454g), made with the perfect amount of vanilla and a bit of malt, it guarantees light, fluffy pancakes or waffles every time.
French Coulis
Spread these delicious French coulis over your pancakes and scatter with some fresh fruit: Coulis d’Apricot (£1.99, 160g) and Coulis de Fraises (£1.99, 160g), or alternatively creamy Sauce Chocolat (£1.99, 185g).
