As people up and down the country prepare Shrove Tuesday, the thought of putting in time and effort for homemade pancakes is overwhelming.
In hopes of avoiding the process, Birmingham Live did us all a favour and tested five different ready-made supermarket pancakes. Some may think it's cheating, others may feel they won't be as good as homemade, but two stores came out on top.
According to them, they take just a couple of minutes to heat up and there's less mess to clean up afterwards. We compared store-bought pancakes from Aldi, Asda, M&S, Tesco and Morrisons to see which one tasted the best.
