Pancake Competition

 

Whether you’re flipping pancakes with your housemates, partner or children, why not make things a little more exciting and have a pancake competition! There are lots of different ways you could run a competition, from the best pancake flipper, to the most creative toppings. This is a great way of adding some extra fun to your pancake day, as well as sparking some creativity and encouraging your little ones to think outside of the box.

For many, the traditional Nutella with strawberries or bananas, lemon and sugar or golden syrup are the popular choice for pancake toppings. Things are all about to change, however, as so many people are becoming more and more adventurous with their toppings! We now see delicious pancakes topped with blueberries and cream, chocolate and ice-cream and even salted caramel with pecans! These fun topping ideas may not be for everyone, but they certainly look delicious!
