Every year it feels like pancake day crêpes up on us. This year, the day (officially going by Shrove Tuesday) lands on March 1.

The simple lemon-sugar-syrup pancakes of our childhood will always have staunch fans, but the more culinary ambitious are setting their sights - and their stacks - higher, fuelled by perfect Pinterest boards, Instagram and newsfeeds.
