Pancake day is upon us! If you’re going to be rustling up some pancakes today, but you’re feeling like a change from the traditional lemon and sugar, then check out our list of alternative toppings.
From classic flavour combinations and sheer indulgence to exotic fruits and some of the more unusual pairings, hopefully we have you covered for Pancake Day inspiration!
Lemon meringue
The sweet crunch of lemon meringue combined with a tangy lemon curd is a delicious accompaniment to a light and fluffy pancake.
Banoffee
Another match made in heaven – warm banana and toffee pancakes will take the indulgence up a notch.
Strawberry and balsamic
It may sound a little leftfield, but balsamic vinegar has long been a culinary companion to the strawberry, providing the perfect balance between sweet and sour.
Apple crumble
Combine the sweet textures of an apple crumble with a light pancake and you’ll certainly be going back for more.
Salmon, avocado and crème fraiche

Pecan and maple
Take some American inspiration with the classic pecan and maple pairing, combining subtle sweetness and crunchy texture.
Chocolate, peanut and banana
