IT’S PANCAKE TUESDAY, AKA the day that everyone gets to proudly have breakfast for dinner.

Sure, a simple lemon and sugar pancake may be your bag – but if you want to experiment, here are some more luxurious options. Treat yo’self.

1. American-style pancakes

So fluffy, and a luxurious change from Irish crepe-style pancakes. Best served with almost illegal amounts of syrup. Recipe here.

2. Cinnamon swirl pancakes

American pancake mixture + simple cinnamon icing = YUM. Recipe here.

3. Chocolate crepes

Gordon Ramsay’s recipe calls for Chantilly cream, but we’d like to try them with tons of berries. Recipe here.

4. Nutella pancake muffins

Put your pancake mix in a muffin tin for oozy, chocolatey, bite-size treats. Recipe here.

5. Bacon strip pancakes
