Pancake Day is approaching, the day that any remaining post-Christmas abstinence should be hurled out of the window for good in favour of hotcakes, flapjacks (the US kind), crêpes, griddle cakes and blintzes.
How you take them is another matter all together. For some, it's American style, loaded with whipped cream, ice cream or soaked in maple syrup, while others prefer the perfect simplicity of a thin, lacy pancake, crisp at the edges, with lemon and sugar (orange, sugar and cinnamon being a nice alternative too).-
And that's not even mentioning the whole diner-style bacon, eggs and sausage situation. However you fancy your pancakes this year, there are some blazingly good options in town...
