Pancakes of the world!

Happy Pancake Day! Why not celebrate Shrove Tuesday by cooking up international versions of the humble pancake!

US & Canada: Buttermilk Pancakes

Thick and fluffy as compared to the British European counterparts, the American Buttermilk Pancake is a breakfast staple eaten with sweet, savoury (and even both) accompaniments! Here’s Martha Stewart’s take on this classic all American pancake.

China: Scallion Pancakes (Cong You Bing)

As compared to how usual pancakes are made in Europe, this Chinese equivalent is savoury, flaky and chewy because it is made from dough and is sprinkled with fragrant sliced scallions. To get the recipe, click here.
