Here at Wired Media, we don’t believe Pancake Day is the only day of the year it’s acceptable to have breakfast at any meal throughout the day.
Who doesn’t love brinner – breakfast for dinner?
Elevate your pancake stacks with a mix of sweet, savoury, and crunchy options. Classic choices include lemon juice with sugar, maple syrup with bacon, or Nutella and banana. For a lighter or gourmet touch, experiment with fresh berries and Greek yogurt, or savoury combinations like smoked salmon and cream cheese.
Sweet & Classic Toppings
Fruit & Berries: Fresh blueberries, strawberries, or caramelised bananas.
Spreads: Nutella, Biscoff, peanut butter, or honey.
Syrups & Sugars: Traditional maple syrup, golden syrup, or a classic dusting of caster sugar.
Dairies: A dollop of Greek yogurt, clotted cream, or whipped cream flavoured with a touch of vanilla.
Spices: A dash of cinnamon and chopped apples.
Savoury Toppings
The Brunch Classic: Crispy streaky bacon paired with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Fish & Deli: Smoked salmon, dill, and soft cheese or a savoury cream cheese.
Cheese & Greens: Wilted spinach and melted Brie, or grilled halloumi drizzled with hot honey.
Hearty Options: Pulled pork, sautéed mushrooms, or a rich cheese sauce.
Texture & Crunch
Nuts: Toasted pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios.
Extras: Granola, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, or a handful of chocolate chips.
We do, however, believe in the importance of a good pancake topping so we asked our digital marketing team how they like to top their pancakes.
Here are six of our favourites…
1. The Breakfast Beast:
Bacon and egg
Thin and sweet not your thing?
Throw potato in for chunky, filling pancakes, and top with bacon and eggs for a breakfast feast.
2. The Classic:
Lemon and sugar
For many, a simple zesty classic is the only way.
Layer your pancakes with lemon and caster sugar for a lighter treat.
3. The Veggie Fridge-Raider:
Any vegetables you can find in the fridge
Set out bowls of your favourite veggies, cheese and herbs and get everyone to help themselves.
Think fajitas with pancakes.
It’s a fun and healthy way to use up what’s leftover in the fridge.
4. The American Diner:
Blueberry and maple syrup
For an American twist thicken them up with baking powder and self-raising flour and get liberal with the maple syrup.
Although blueberries are the classic choice, throw any berries from the fridge on top to suit your taste.
5. The Stylish & Savoury:
Butternut squash, goat’s cheese and rosemary
Proving your pancake accomplishments don’t have to be sickly sweet, this sophisticated topping makes for a great brunch, or even a starter if you’re cooking up a feast.
6. The Knickerbocker Glory:
Various ice cream flavours, sweets and chocolate sauce
As the day before Lent, Shrove Tuesday is the perfect time to get rid of any last-minute indulgences, so use up any naughty foods you can find around the house.
Go on – you deserve it!
