Pancake Day 2022: Alternative recipes to try this Shrove Tuesday

Lottie Casas February 28, 2022

A controversial thought: we only bother to make pancakes once a year because they aren’t actually that exciting to eat.

Think about it – how often do you make a lemon and sugar topped pancake?

This year, why not try an alternative recipe that’s either visually delightful (for your Instagram grid) or is an entirely different flavour – such as a savoury combination.

Aldi has shared three recipes to update your pancake game, with a rainbow recipe, a Vietnamese prawn one, and a vegan gingerbread option.

Here’s how to make them:
