Stock up with honey for Pancake Day

Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is on February 13th this year, always 47 days before Easter and the day before Ash Wednesday. It was originally the day to use up rich foods like eggs and milk before the 40 days of fasting for Lent.

Honey is a great topping for pancakes as it combines well with so many different foods. As well as tasting delicious, honey is also a healthier alternative to sugar, is nutritious and low in calories.

Here are some of the ways we love to eat honey and pancakes with our favourite honey suggestions.
