The answer to the riddle is cakes on the griddle!

It's that time of year again when we heat up our frying pans and gather in the kitchen to see who's best at flipping! Shrove Tuesday (sometimes known as Fat Tuesday) is traditionally the day when all the fatty foods from the cupboards are used up ready for Lent, and what better way to make use of these ingredients than making pancakes? 

Over here we're more keen on very thin crepes, but this year why not try something a bit different by making some fluffy American style pancakes. We stock a great range of mixes, from Aunt Jemima to Bisquick, as well as a great range of syrups and toppings. And if you're looking for something new and exciting, why not try adding some baking morsels like the Nestle Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter ones? And don't forget the syrups! From Hershey's to traditional pancake syrup, it's always good to drown your pancakes in rich, glistening liquid. Or why not try something really unusual and add some Marshmallow Fluff?


Whatever you choose to add to your pancakes, we hope you have a great day. Don't forget to send us your recipes, emails and wackiest ideas so we can all try them out! Check out this recipe for Caramel Apple Pancakes from the queen of hot cakes - Aunt Jemima.
