Pancake Day is here, and we’re flipping excited! Whether you love them thick & fluffy or thin & crispy, sweet or savoury, there’s no wrong way to enjoy pancakes! But the real question is…

What’s your pancake style?
What toppings are a must?
Morning feast or evening treat?

Cosy Indoor Pancakes

Sometimes, the best pancake memories are made right at home! Whether it’s a slow breakfast in PJs or a fun after-school treat, flipping pancakes together in the kitchen is a tradition we love. Keep it cosy by layering up in your Spotty Otter base layers—as comfy as PJs but perfect for spontaneous outdoor adventures after!

Outdoor Pancake Adventures

At Spotty Otter, we believe pancakes taste even better outdoors! Why not take Pancake Day on an adventure this year? Cook up a batch over a campfire or on a camping stove, enjoy the fresh air, and make some delicious memories with your little explorers! 

Outdoor Pancake Ideas:

Classic lemon & sugar for a quick and easy campfire treat
Banana & chocolate spread for a gooey, energy-boosting snack
Cheese & ham for a tasty, savoury twist

Fun Pancake Day Facts! 

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the last day before Lent, traditionally a time to use up eggs, milk, and flour.
The world’s largest pancake was over 15 meters wide—imagine flipping that! 
The highest pancake toss ever recorded was 9.47 meters (31 feet)! Can you beat it? 
The town of Olney, England, has held a Pancake Race every year since 1445—that’s nearly 600 years of flipping fun!

Top Tips for Pancake Day Adventures:

1. Prep your batter in advance – Mix it at home and store it in a bottle for easy pouring!
2. Keep it simple – Opt for easy-to-flip pancakes if you're cooking over a fire!
3. Bring a non-stick pan – Trust us, it makes life SO much easier.
4. Layer up! – Wear your Spotty Otter base layers like PJs for ultimate comfort at home or under waterproofs for an outdoor pancake feast!
