Pancake toppings with a twist

Looking to try something new this pancake day? Whether you’re a sweet or savoury fan, we’ve got some flippin’ great topping inspiration to suit all tastes. Get your frying pan at the ready and start experimenting!

Tiramisu Pancakes

Give your brunch a boost with these indulgent tiramisu pancakes. Mix 150ml double cream with 50-75ml sweet dessert wine or sherry to taste, then whisk together until thick. Melt 50g dark chocolate and set aside. To serve, spread 4 pancakes with the cream, then fold. Drizzle each one with 1-2 tsp freshly-brewed espresso coffee and the melted chocolate, and dust each with a pinch of cocoa powder.

Apple and Cinnamon

Transform your pancakes with a warm apple and cinnamon topping. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the last bite of winter before spring arrives.

Pan-klava

Take inspiration from Turkey and channel the flavours from this traditional pastry into your pancakes. Chopped pistachios, a dash of rosewater, cinnamon and honey make this a syrupy sweet pan-klava treat and a change from the traditional.

Jam & Cream

A scone loaded with jam and cream is a classic British dessert, so why not add a twist to the sweet delight and try it as a pancake topping instead? And a generous layer of strawberry or raspberry jam to your pancake stack, and top with a dollop of clotted or whipped cream.

Eggs Benedict

Give your pancakes a breakfast or brunch twist, and top with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. You can add a couple of slices of streaky bacon too, if you want something extra indulgent.

Indian pancakes

A tasty twist on the traditional pancake recipe, why not try a savoury pancake mix and fill with a selection of chutneys and pickles, garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime juice? Quirky and simply delicious.
