Bord Bia believes that personal preference makes the perfect pancake, with sweet and savoury options available.

For anyone preparing to make pancakes tonight in honour of Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday as it’s also known, Bord Bia has a number of trusty recipes on it’s website.

Whether you have a sweet tooth or prefer a savoury option, Bord Bia has covered a wide range of recipes to keep all taste buds happy.

Some of these sweet options include apple and yoghurt pancakes with blackberry and honey sauce, as well as warm pancakes with berries and maple syrup.

The savoury options on offer include potato pancakes with fried eggs and bacon or buckwheat crepes with smoke salmon and avocado.

How to create American-style stack pancakes is also detailed by Bord Bia on its website.

The core ingredients for the traditional pancake include eggs, milk and flour.

Lemon and sugar remains a popular topping choice among pancake lovers, while berries, chocolate spread, honey and yoghurt are all popular choices for those with a sweet tooth.

Meanwhile, for those who prefer a savoury option, toppings vary including ham, bacon, cheese, smoked salmon and mushrooms.

Bord Bia has previously said Pancake Tuesday originated as a traditional day for eating pancakes, as it was a good time to use up any stocks of milk, butter and eggs which were forbidden during the Lenten period.
