Heat the pan over a steady medium heat then just before you add the batter brush lightly with melted butter. You can use a pastry brush or just a piece of kitchen paper dipped in the butter. Pour a little batter in the pan and tilt the pan so the batter coats the bottom. Leave the pancake until you start to see tiny bubbles appearing on the uncooked surface. Click here to read more about the perfect pans for pancakes. How to flip pancakes Now you have a choice – you can either flip the pancake in the air using just the pan, or flip with a spatula. If you want to flip with the pan angle it down to the floor slightly holding it in both hands and let the pancake slide to the front of the pan. Now give the pan a quick jerk upwards, the pancake should fly up and over then you can catch it, uncooked side down, in the pan. Cook the other side until pale golden then slide out. The first pancake will usually fail. It often comes out a bit anaemic looking and flabby rather than crisp and golden. Don’t panic! Think of this as your practice one as the pan comes up to proper temperature and you get a feel for the batter. If you are cooking for a crowd, stack the pancakes on a plate as you cook them with greaseproof paper in between and then reheat in a 150C/fan 130C/gas 2 oven.

Switch up your pancake game with these trending pancake recipes, from lighter-than-air soufflé to zero carb pancakes and even pancake cereal
Discover what’s trending in the world of pancakes on social media so you can switch things up on Shrove Tuesday. Looking for entertaining ideas? We’ve got all the information you need on how to host a pancake party, from assembling a DIY pancake bar to the best pancake kitchenware to buy. For more pancake inspiration, take a browse through our savoury pancake recipes, sweet pancake recipes and indulgent pancake recipes. You can also discover how different countries celebrate Shrove Tuesday with our pancake traditions from around the world. Now find out olive columnist Gurd Loyal's food and drink trend predictions for 2024 and the top health and wellness trends for 2024. 10 pancake trends 1. Soufflé pancakes Light, airy and fluffier-than-clouds, soufflé pancakes are taking the internet by storm. How do they differ from a traditional pancake? For soufflé-style results, whip egg whites to form a meringue, before gently folding into the pancake batter. Japan is the birthplace of these soft and squidgy pancakes, but you can try them at home with this soufflé pancakes recipe from BBC Good Food. Toppings are left to your discretion; popular combinations include whipped cream and fresh berries, or icing sugar, butter and maple syrup. 2. Protein pancakes The appetite for high-protein meals doesn’t seem to be going anywhere with social media awash with sweet and savoury stacks of protein pancakes. Hailed as a healthier alternative to traditional pancakes, flour is replaced by protein powder and ingredients such as banana, oats, cinnamon and plant-based milk are also swapped in. Protein pancakes make a great post-workout treat, or enjoy as a healthier choice for Pancake Day. Try our protein pancakes recipe – you can make them savoury and get an extra protein boost using poached eggs, grilled streaky bacon and a dollop of soya yogurt. 3. Zero carb/keto pancakes The ketogenic diet is essentially a very low-carb, high-fat diet. Luckily, those following a keto diet needn’t miss out, with low-carb pancake recipes replacing regular flour with almond flour and sugar with keto-friendly syrup. They’re also suitable for those on a gluten-free diet. Fancy trying them for yourself? Recreate these keto pancakes from BBC Good Food for your next breakfast. 4. Trendy toppings Tired of the same old toppings? Time to switch things up and embrace some unique ingredients. Drizzle pancakes in a zesty yuzu syrup for a refreshing citrus hit – with a flavour profile somewhere between tangy grapefruit and fragrant orange, it makes a welcome change from the usual lemon and sugar. Or, swap milk chocolate shavings with blonde chocolate for a toasted caramel flavour and pair with roasted nuts and salted pretzels. You could also serve warm blood orange segments for a wonderfully sweet, berry-like flavour, with syrup spooned on top. 5. Air fryer pancakes Definitely one to consider this Shrove Tuesday, why not make your pancakes in an air fryer? TikTok videos show home cooks lining their air fryers with baking parchment before scooping a small scoop of batter into the middle. They then layer with another piece of baking paper, repeat six times and leave the air fryer to fry. Alternatively, some cooks are pouring batter into silicone moulds to create a muffin-pancake hybrid. 6. Pancake spaghetti Yes, you read that right, pancake spaghetti has officially been making waves on TikTok, with views amassing 62 million. The process is straightforward: fill a bottle or piping bag with your batter, then squeeze a spaghetti-like zig-zag onto your pan on a medium-low heat. Fry until golden, then transfer to your bowl and top with chocolate shavings, a dusting of icing sugar and drizzle of chocolate sauce. We’re not sure if this will catch on to rival the classics, but it makes for a bit of fun and is certainly something to experiment with. 7. Pancake cereal The viral ‘pancake cereal’ trend is still going strong, with countless images and videos of these sweet morsels filling social feeds. More commonly known as poffertjes (Dutch mini pancakes), these are essentially miniature versions of your standard pancake. To make, pour a thick batter into a piping bag or a squeezy bottle, pipe blobs into your pan and fry until golden. Use any toppings you like, such as mini oreos and ice cream, or butter, fresh berries and maple syrup. 8. Sheet pan pancakes If you’re a nervous flipper, you may wish to experiment with sheet pan pancakes. This form of pancake sees frying pans swapped for deep baking trays to create a thicker, rectangular pancake. Toppings, such as berries, walnuts, sprinkles and swirled chocolate sauce, are arranged in separate sections on top, then baked into the batter. The end result is a large multi-coloured pancake sheet, which can be carved up to serve as many as 10 people. A great idea if you’re feeding a crowd and prefer to let the oven do all the work. 9. Stuffed pancakes Another trend that’s seeing no sign of stopping is the stuffed pancake stack, where toppings are fried inside the batter rather than added on top. Pour rounds of batter into your pan, spoon 1 tsp Nutella into the middle of each pancake, then pour some batter over the top. Once the bubbles start to form, flip, plate up and enjoy pancakes with an oozing molten middle. You could also try using chocolate chips or buttons, as well as mini oreos, banana or even sausage meat for a savoury twist. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/2/2023/02/GettyImages-922733698-72fe599.jpeg" width="6000" height="4000" alt="Stack of Stuffed chocolate nutella pancakes on vintage wooden board on blue table background with cup of tea. American Breakfast Concept. Copy space" title="Stack of Stuffed chocolate nutella pancakes on vintage wooden board on blue table background with cup of tea. American Breakfast Concept. Copy space" /> 10. Croissant pancakes Though they resemble stroopwafels rather than pancakes, this buttery, flaky take on pancakes is slowly taking over social media feeds. Pancake batter is swapped out for two croissants, which are flattened with a rolling pin and fried in a pan or air fryer. The pancake croissants are then drizzled in honey, syrup or lemon juice, loaded with ice cream and stacked to resemble a croissant sandwich. Try a savoury version, such as chunky ham and salty gruyère.

Discover how different countries celebrate Shrove Tuesday, from Italian chiacchiere to Danish fastelavnsboller and deep-fried Polish chruściki. Plus, we share our favourite pancake dishes from around the world
Shrove Tuesday marks the last day of indulgence before the fasting period of Lent in Western Christian tradition, lasting 40 days before Easter Sunday. Other names for the celebrations include Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday and Pancake Day. We take a look at how countries around the world celebrate this period, as well as popular pancake dishes from countries including Japan, Vietnam and China. For more pancake inspiration, take a browse through our best savoury pancake recipes, sweet pancake recipes and indulgent pancake recipes. Looking for entertaining ideas? We've got all the info you need on how to host a pancake party, from assembling a DIY pancake bar to the best pancake kitchenware to buy, including the best pans for pancakes. Shrove Tuesday traditions from around the world Italy – Carnevale Carnevale is a three-week celebration of flamboyant parades and beautiful costumes which marks the last chance to indulge before Lent. A popular sweet treat to enjoy during Carnevale is chiacchiere (pictured below), a golden deep-fried sweet dough sprinkled with icing sugar and, depending on the region, served with melted dark chocolate or zabaione, a classic Italian custard. This February, you can get your hands on chiacchiere at Lina Stores, available in its King's Cross and Marylebone sites as well as for takeaway from the Soho deli. New Orleans – Mardis Gras Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday, which is the last day where people eat rich, fatty foods before the fasting of the Lenten season. Celebrations vary across cities; in New Orleans, Mardi Gras parades are a vibrant display of masks and costumes, lasting two weeks and culminating on Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday). King cake, po' boys, jambalaya, beignets (shown below) and pancakes are a few foods typically eaten during celebrations. Denmark – Fastelavn In Denmark, to mark the coming of Lent, Fastelavn, or Shrovetide, takes place seven weeks before Easter Monday on a Sunday. A popular treat to enjoy during celebrations is fastelavnsboller, or lent buns (pictured below). Found in Danish bakeries and supermarkets in the weeks leading up to fastelavn, the pastry buns are filled with cream or jam and topped with fruits, chocolate or icing. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/2/2023/02/Fastelavnsboller-d0902e6.jpg" width="6847" height="4570" alt="Fastelavnsbolle or Fastelavn cakes are a Danish delicacy made and eaten in great quantities in many parts of Scandinavia in the period up to the beginning of Lent. Made from puff pastry and filled with cream and or jam and topped with a variety of different flavours, fruits, chocolate and icing. Colour, vertical format with some copy space." title="Pancakes from around the world" /> Canada – Shrove Tuesday Similar to how we celebrate in the UK, Canadians celebrate Shrove Tuesday with pancakes, using up any eggs, milk and butter before the start of lent. The UK's staple lemon and sugar is swapped for maple syrup and bacon, along with more unfamiliar toppings such as partridgeberry jam and sausages. Many pancakes also include small objects in the mix, such as coins, buttons, rings or bits of string, with each object symbolising a certain fate (it's believed that those who find coins in their pancakes will become rich). Trinidad and Tobago – Carnival Held on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival is an annual event famous for its colourful costumes, calypso music and energetic celebrations. Food is integral to Carnival, with popular street food dishes including corn soup and doubles (pictured below) — two pieces of flat fried bread filled with curried chickpeas, with condiments such as hot pepper sauce, pickled green mango and tamarind chutney. Poland – Fat Thursday Pancakes, pastries and jam-filled doughnuts are what's on the menu in Poland on Fat Thursday, held on the last Thursday before Lent. It's one of the busiest days of the year, with bakeries opening earlier than usual to prep for the day ahead. Historically speaking this was not always the case; the 17th Century saw the Polish celebrating by eating excessive amounts of bacon, lard and vodka for a whole week. A traditional Polish delicacy to celebrate Fat Thursday is deep fried Polish chruściki (shown below), also known as angel wings. Learn more about Polish desserts and sweet treats. Holland – Vastenavond Despite being the home of the enduringly popular Dutch pancake, Shrove Tuesday doesn't involve pancake flipping in the Netherlands. Instead, Tuesday marks the last day of Carnival, also called Vastenavond, where parades line the streets. People also use up any rich and fatty foods before Vastentijd (Ash Wednesday). On the Tuesday, Dutch people often eat stamppot, a meal consisting of mashed potatoes, vegetables and meat. Pancake recipes from around the world Japan Shrove Tuesday is not a tradition in Japan, however that's not to say the country is short on pancake dishes. Japan is the birthplace of light, airy and fluffier-than-clouds soufflé pancakes, where egg whites are whipped up to form a meringue before being gently folded into the batter. If savoury is more your thing, have a go at recreating okonomiyaki, a trendy Japanese savoury pancake that's cooked on a flat griddle. Made with wheat flour, pancake fillings typically include cabbage, meat, or seafood, with toppings such as okonomiyaki sauce, seaweeds flakes and pickled ginger. Vietnam Pancake Day is not celebrated in Vietnam, however these Vietnamese pancakes make a great addition to your savoury pancake repertoire. Uyen Luu's recipe for Vietnamese bánh xèo is light and herby, stuffed with salad leaves and juicy king prawns. China Crisp savoury pancakes are a popular street food and breakfast dish in China, where a thin, chewy pancake provides the perfect base for roast duck, pork or chicken. If you're looking for a classic recipe, try Ching-He Huang's Peking duck pancakes, or make our crispy duck and peach pancakes for a sweeter twist. Alternatively, check out our duck with mole sauce and Peking-style pancakes – it's a Chinese-Mexican hybrid which is mainstream in America. For those not so keen with sweet pancake variety, pay a visit to London restaurant Din Tai Fung for its crispy golden prawn pancake (pictured below), where a crispy fried exterior encases pockets of juicy prawns and pork. Mexico Mexican hotcakes are a popular sweet street food which are similar to American pancakes due to their thick and fluffy texture. Sweet toppings include brown butter, cinnamon maple syrup and spiced goat's milk caramel. Gorditas de Nata, (pictured below), are also similar to pancakes, but look more like an English muffin. Alternatively, you could give your pancakes a Mexican-inspired twist with these savoury quesadilla pancakes from BBC Good Food.

To microwave, stack, cover with cling film, pierce the film. Reheat on High for 1 min.
