Happy flippinā Pancake Day, OJO gang! The wait is over ā we’ve all finally got an excuse to tuck into a mountain of delicious pancakes for dinner without feeling guilty. Everyone has a different topping preference, whether itās your classic lemon and sugar, some refreshing fruit or a savoury option like bacon. But some of us prefer some strange pancake toppings.
Are they genius or just flipping weird? We’ll let you be the judge! Check out these strange pancake toppings and let us know if they stack up!
1. Tiramisu
Mmm, the first of our strange pancake toppings has all the hallmarks of being a classic. Chocolate? ā Cream? ā Espresso and dessert wine? Why not!
We’re not sure itās what the Italians had in mind when they invented the dish, but the crazy combination is right up our street.
2. Paneer
We all love a Friday night curry and with veggie options growing in popularity, paneer has never been so in demand. Nothing quite hits the spot like a spoonful of saag paneer on a fresh naan bread ā but how would you feel about it on a pancake?
More like paneercake, right guys?! Well, itās one craze that seems to be taking off. Don’t knock it ātil youāve tried it, we suppose!
3. Pizza
There’s a reason pizza is one of the most popular foods in the world, but thereās a time and a place for it. Is that on Pancake Day? That’s for you to decide!
But if you fancy treating your pancake like a pizza base, fill your boots. Smother it in a tomato sauce, drizzle it with grated cheese and throw on whatever toppings you fancy, whether itās pepperoni, veg or even the controversial pineapple. Bon Appetit!
4. Gravy
We know itās consumed more than water oop north, but do we really have to put gravy on everything?!
There is some logic in having it on a pancake as theyāre made of the same batter as a Yorkshire pudding. But some people use that as an excuse to turn theirs into a full roast dinner. Hey, whatever floats your gravy boat!
5. Tuna
Feeling fishy? š Believe it or not, weāve seen a few people on social media adding tuna to their pancakes.
Look, weāre not here to judge you for what you get up to in the comfort of your own kitchen. Just donāt bring your leftovers in to heat up in the office microwave!
6. Cheeseburger
Hi, is that Ronald McDonald? Weāve got a new item for your breakfast menu. Say hello to the cheeseburger pancake!
Enjoy this classic but instead of a burger bun, just fill a couple of thick pancakes with a patty, a slice of cheese and whatever garnishes you fancy. Phwoar, just make sure you schedule in some time for a nap afterwards!
7. Fizzy Drinks
Don’t worry, weāre not suggesting you drizzle lemonade all over your freshly flipped pancakes (unless thatās your vibe!). Instead, some people like to add a splash of coke, cream soda or any other fizzy drink to their pancake batter.
Not only does it give them a fluffier texture, but it also adds an extra bit of zing. Top tip: they go great with a nice dollop of ice cream.
