Shrove Tuesday

Every Shrove Tuesday we think, why don’t we make pancakes more often? Loved by children and adults, this delicious recipe proves why.

This buttermilk pancake recipe makes the most deliciously light and fluffy Scotch pancakes. 

Make a big batch of the compote to serve with your pancakes and store any extra in your fridge to enjoy with porridge, yoghurt or shortbread. 

Pancakes are always a hit, their versatility means you can enjoy them at any time of day, with all manner of toppings and fillings.

Perhaps you prefer savoury flavours such silky Market Garden leeks in a cheese sauce, or lashings of maple syrup, or simply a traditional squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of crunchy sugar. Either way, this base recipe will never fail.
