Louise Hutchings’ pancake

goodtoknow user Louise Hutchings says: ‘Today I got creative with my pancakes and made an edible snail garden for my daughter. Everything other than the blue chopping board is edible! Green coloured peppermint pancake snails with sultana feelers; orange coloured and flavoured pancake sun with a strawberry mouth and dark chocolate eyes; a fluffy squirty cream cloud; Nutella and crushed flake soil and crunchy, milk chocolate sultana pebbles; lastly, fresh mint and strawberry rose bushes. I took as many photos as possible before my daughter destroyed it, she seemed to enjoy it!’

Lucy Pasifull’s pancake

goodtoknow user Lucy Pacifull says: ‘The breakfast for when you can’t decide between pancakes and a cooked breakfast! Everything – bacon, eggs, mushrooms, toast and beans, is made from pancake using squirty bottles and natural food colouring. Well, everything apart from the baked bean juice which is orange jelly.’

Margo Winchester’s pancake

goodtoknow user Margot Winchester says: ‘I love this easy recipe because the pancakes can be made in advance and warmed up when needed. The children love this healthy version, but for those who are not figure-conscious, the filling can be enriched with cream cheese. Brandy can also be added to the cherry sauce for adults.’

We asked some of our favourite bloggers to share their pancakes – here’s what they made:

Sian blogs at Fishfingers For Tea – the home of family-friendly food, with plenty of sweet treats along the way. She made these yummy double chocolate chip pancakes – she recommends stacking them high and serving with raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar.

Black Forest pancakes

Jenny, a clumsy mummy who loves cakes, blogs about her latest creations at Mummy Mishaps. Her idea for this Black Forest pancake comes from childhood memories of eating cherry pancakes at the Little Chef! She added cocoa powder in place of some of the flour and then got layering.

Daisy pancake

This pancake is fit for a princess. Created by Jenny, from Jenny Eatwell’s Rhubarb & Ginger, she used a thick American pancake mix, piping it into a warm pan, then increasing the heat so that it cooked through. The petals were filled with a raspberry coulis and the centre decorated with gold glitter. Fresh raspberries around the petals and a little stem of fresh mint finished it off nicely. According to Jenny, the toughest part of this creation was getting it out of the pan in one piece!
