Pancake Day the Skinny Way...

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is a British favourite for flipping, piling, and indulging in sweet stacks. Traditionally a way to use up rich ingredients, today it’s all about fun flavours without the sugar overload.

With Skinny Food Co. products, you can make pancakes that taste indulgent but stay low in sugar. From fluffy mixes and sugar-free syrups to chocolate spreads and toppings, there’s everything you need to build your ultimate pancake stack — whether you’re Team Lemon & Sugar or Team Chocolate.

A Few Classic UK Pancake Day Traditions

• Pancake Races – The most famous race takes place in Olney, Buckinghamshire and dates back to 1445 (yes, really).
• Traditional Toppings – Lemon juice and caster sugar remain a classic, but chocolate spreads and syrups are now firm favourites.
• The Pancake Bell – Historically rung to call people to confession before Lent, and still heard in some towns today.
• Shrovetide Football – A no-rules street football game played in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
• Skipping in Scarborough – A seaside tradition where locals skip along the promenade.
