Fun Recipes for Pancake Day

With shrove Tuesday and Valentines Day falling next to each other this year, we think we can be forgiven for indulging that sweet tooth! It's not often we stray away from our favourite pancakes - whether sweet or savoury - but these Pancake Hearts from Waitrose have us in a bit of a stir! From sweet Maple and Bacon Stacks to Savoury Cheese delights, have a look at our top picks for Pancake Day (...and maybe the days preceding!).

Waitrose Valentine Pancake Recipe

PINK PANCAKE HEARTS Serves - 4 Cooking Time - 20 minutes Ingredients Method 125g self-raising flour 25g caster sugar ½ tsp baking powder 300ml Soured Cream 4 tbsp whole milk 1 Free Range Large Egg ½ tsp vanilla bean paste 25g butter, melted Pink Gel Colouring, for decorating A little vegetable oil, for greasing Icing sugar, for dusting Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk the soured cream, milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter together in a jug, then pour this liquid into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk well until smooth. Divide equally between 3 bowls. Mix the first with about ½ tsp pink food gel, the second with ¼ tsp gel and the third with ⅛ tsp gel, adding more or less to get your preferred colour. Pour into 3 squeezy bottles with fine nozzles if available. If not, use disposable piping bags or just a teaspoon. Warm a large frying pan over a medium heat. Wipe with a little vegetable oil. Reduce the heat to low. Using a steady stream of batter, carefully draw the outline of a heart (about 10cm in size) into the pan, then use more mixture to fill in the middle. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes, or until drying on the surface with small bubbles appearing. Flip over for about 30 seconds to seal the other side, without it browning, or until cooked through. Work in batches or individually if easier. Repeat with all the mixture to make 4 pancakes from each colour, keeping the cooked pancakes warm. Serve dusted with a generous amount of icing sugar. Add some strawberry dessert sauce and/or heart sprinkles, if using.
