Most of us will go one of two routes:

  1. Lemon, jam and generous helpings of sugar
  2. Loads of Nutella

But if you really want to up the ante and be a little adventurous this year, these recipes should more than do the trick. (And they’ll totally look well on Instagram.)

1. Pancakes served up with ice-cream

In honour of Pancake Tuesday, Tesco stores around Ireland are stocking jars of Custard Cream Spread.

We think that custard cream pancakes could either be really delicious or really grim, but there’s only one way to find out…

Happy Pancake!
