A Business News article from 2022 reported that around 50% of the UK population take part, consuming an estimated 117 million pancakes. A survey by IPSOS in the same year suggested even higher figures, with 80% of Britons eating pancakes on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there isn\u2019t specific data on how many people eat out, there are ways to attract customers. Traditional toppings like lemon and sugar will be expected, but to stand out, offer unique options that can\u2019t be easily made at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consider offering pancakes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide both sweet and savoury options to widen appeal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-make pancakes to speed up service during busy periods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Target office workers with a pre-order and delivery option, ensuring they don\u2019t miss out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pancake Batter Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pancake batter is quick to make and stays stable in the fridge all day. It\u2019s also cost-effective, with simple ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use plain, low-protein flour for a lighter pancake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whole milk adds richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A small amount of melted butter enhances flavour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/thin-crispy-788x394.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/thin-crispy-788x394.webp 788w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/thin-crispy-500x250.webp 500w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/thin-crispy-200x100.webp 200w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/thin-crispy-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/thin-crispy.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether using a crepe machine or a pan, the cooking surface should be non-stick or well-seasoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the first pancake always a failure? Often, yes. This happens because the pan isn\u2019t at the right temperature, heat isn\u2019t evenly distributed, or the batter hasn\u2019t settled properly. As the pan seasons, pancakes improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To toss or not to toss? If you have an open kitchen, flipping pancakes can add theatre to the experience. However, a spatula is the safer option for avoiding accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Secret to Perfect Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/crepes-788x394.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/crepes-788x394.webp 788w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/crepes-500x250.webp 500w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/crepes-200x100.webp 200w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/crepes-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/crepes.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirsty Brown shares her tried-and-tested recipe for classic crepe-style pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>100g plain flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>350ml whole milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A knob of butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A pinch of sugar and salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a thin layer of batter, just enough to coat the pan.
