Many people — especially children — will have enjoyed Pancake Day, the more user-friendly name for Shrove Tuesday. But every year, thousands of litres of the mix ends up being disposed of, normally because we overestimate how much of the batter we actually need to make the wafer-thin sweet delights.
It is estimated that 25 million pancakes are in danger of going to waste this year, so some people have turned to social media outlets to find out what else they can do with all that leftover goo.
Coupon Snake, a coupon and discount deals website, said that it found the word ‘Pancake’ had been entered in searches and viewed on TikTok 5.5 billion times. Further research established that "Pancake Cereal" had 1.6 billion views; "Pancake Quesadillas" had 701.3 million views; and Pancake Spaghetti had 63.4 million views.
