Eat Richer – Flip Pancake Day on it’s head
Eat Richer – my campaign to get you eater better and for less. And why not start with Pancake Day. A bit of history – Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up the eggs and fat in the pantry before folk embarked on their fast for Lent.
Now pancakes are epic, there’s no getting away from that. So if you have eggs and flour that needs using and you decide to have stacks and stacks of them, then who can blame you?! But for those who want more from their basic batter then look no further.
I have found delicious alternatives to pancakes that will cost pennies. Whether you’re going old school and mixing yourself or have bought too much of the ready-made mix, there are plenty of ways not to waste.
Pizza Muffins – two of my favourite things combined so this was always going to be given a whirl! https://tasty.co/recipe/pizza-muffins
Quesadilla Pancakes – The wonderful thing about quesadillas is that you can make up any filling. So be creative and just use what you have in your fridge – there are no rules! https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/quesadilla-pancakes
Jaffa Cake pancakes – I never used to be a lover of Jaffa Cakes, but my these are a treat. https://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/jaffa-cake-pancakes
