Pancakes: great, fibre: even better, so why not fuel up on fibre this Pancake Day with this Mixed Berry Pancake Stack?

Experts say we should all eat 30g fibre a day, with women in particular needing to up their fibre intake by as much as 75%*! To celebrate #FibreFebruary, this easy pancake stack with mixed berry compote contains a whopping 15.1g fibre per serving, making it the perfect place to start boosting your intake, plus we’ve included some tips on upping fibre to make things really easy for your readers.

Mixed Berry Pancake Stack

Pancakes:
100g plain flour
90g wholemeal flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
45g granulated sugar
250ml milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten ­­
70g melted butter
Butter or oil for the pan

500g mixed berries, fresh or frozen

Method:
1. Combine flours, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs and butter
3. Pour the wet ingredient into the dry ingredients and mix well until combined
4. Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes
5. Heat a non-stick skillet pan over medium heat and add your butter or oil

Berries:

5. Spoon as much as you’d like on the pancakes and enjoy!

Top tips for increasing fibre intake

Base meals around starchy carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, potatoes and other grains, such as quinoa or couscous.
Use wholemeal flour instead of white in recipes. Wholemeal flour provides more fibre than white flour, although white flour does still provide some fibre.
Swap refined or ‘white’ carbohydrate sources (e.g. bread, cereals, pasta) for wholegrain varieties.
Consume a variety of fruit and vegetables and aim for at least 5 A DAY.
Try to include more pulses, nuts and seeds in dishes by adding to stews, curries and salads.
Start your day with a high-fibre breakfast, including foods such as wholegrain cereals topped with dried or fresh fruit, wholemeal bread or whole fresh fruit.

Indian inspired pancake recipes

Pancake day is nearly here and we’ve got some pancake day inspiration for you – all Indian inspired of course! Give them a try and let us know how you get on…

3 Indian inspired pancake recipes
Chocolate orange and cardamom pancakes
These pancakes make a lovely change to plain pancakes and are great as an indulgent weekend breakfast or as a treat! If you’re making these for children, they may find cocoa nibs a little too bitter, so you can always swap them for chocolate chips and serve them with Nutella instead of melted dark chocolate…

Paneer lemon pancakes with pomegranate syrup
Why not try something a bit different this pancake day: paneer lemon pancakes with pomegranate syrup. Paneer is Indian cottage cheese, and is very easy to make. You will need to make some fresh paneer for this recipe, as the paneer you find in the supermarket will not work for this recipe…

Chai latte pancakes
Here’s another alternative to plain pancakes: chai latte pancakes. With all those warming spices, and a hint of coffee, what’s not to love…

One in five people plan to go plant-based this Shrove Tuesday according to new research

More than half of the UK would try a vegan pancake – PLUS the nation’s favourite pancake topping revealed

Nearly one in five consumers (19%) plan to go plant-based on Pancake Day, while more than half (57%) would be happy to try a vegan pancake, according to new research commissioned by food brand Squeaky Bean, and conducted by One Poll[1] ahead of Shrove Tuesday on 16th February.

Pancakes go plant-based

While ‘Pancake Day’ itself was founded more than 500 years ago, consumers are open to trying a new take on the traditional dish, which was initially created to use up eggs and milk before the start of Lent, when these ingredients would not be eaten at all.

The poll of 2,000 people who eat pancakes also found that Generation Z, millennials and Generation X (comprising 18-44 year olds[2]) are more likely to make the switch to a vegan pancake, with almost one in three (32%) 25-34 year olds saying they’ll enjoy an animal product free option this year. Londoners show the largest appetite for plant-based pancakes, with 35% saying they plan to tuck into one on Shrove Tuesday. They are closely followed by the North East and the North West of England, where respectively 21% and 20% of respondents shared these plans.

Squeaky Bean’s findings reflect the trend from retailers – last year Waitrose found that searches for vegan pancakes on its website were up 1,385% in comparison to the previous January – potentially due to Squeaky Bean launching its ready-to-eat plant-based pancake range at the retailer in the same month.

Lemon juice tops the lot – but not in the North

Respondents to the survey were also polled on their favourite pancake toppings, which are revealed in a table at the end of this press release. Across the nation, traditional options are still the top choices; 24% of respondents choose lemon juice as their favourite topping, 21% desire maple syrup, and 11% opt for sugar. Pancake eating consumers in the North stand apart from other regions, preferring maple syrup over the lemon juice drizzle favoured by the rest of the country.[3]

Despite this, the UK shows a sense of adventure when it comes to topping pancakes. When asked which ingredients they would consider topping pancakes with, respondents said they would try baked beans (6%), ketchup (5%) and the on-trend Korean fermented condiment, kimchi (5%). In a stark contrast to the rest of the country, 18% of London based respondents said they would consider ketchup as a pancake topping.

Protein-rich toppings, including bacon or plant-based versions, were out of favour, with just 9% of those polled saying they would consider them – despite bacon and maple syrup often being firmly associated with pancakes. One in twenty (5%) of pancake-eaters would consider dropping toppings altogether, saying they would consider tucking into a pancake that is entirely plain.

A challenging recipe

Despite toppings being a do-it-yourself affair, not all Brits will be mixing their own pancake batter in 2021. When it comes to cooking vegan pancakes, 30% said they were unsure what to replace animal product ingredients with, while 28% said they were not sure how to make them. Plant-based or otherwise, almost half (49%) of those who took the survey agreed that ‘the mess, difficulty and not always having the ingredients in’ can stop them from cooking pancakes.

And while the nation showed great diversity in its love for toppings, preferences regarding the ideal thickness of a pancake were even more wide-ranging – complicating matters for home chefs. Of those who expressed a preference, 65% would choose a thin (French-style) batter rather than a thick (American-style) option.

Enter Squeaky Bean

Plant-based food brand Squeaky Bean is making it easy for pancake lovers to go vegan this Shrove Tuesday and avoid the mess, hassle and difficulty in cooking pancakes.

Its ready-to-eat Fluffy American Style Pancakes and Original Sweet Pancakes are available in Waitrose stores nationwide, providing mess-free, tasty pancake options – meaning there’s no need to create two different batters in households with different preferences. The Fluffy American Style Pancakes have proven such a hit that in 2020 they won a Grocer New Product Award, beating all other entries in the vegetarian/vegan sweet food category.

Sarah Augustine, Squeaky Bean’s Co-Creator, says: “Shrove Tuesday has traditionally been a time to use up animal products such as milk and eggs, however with interest growing in plant-based diets, and 582,000 people taking part in Veganuary 2021, many will seek a vegan option on Pancake Day too. Our research shows that pancake lovers can be put off from cooking this delicious treat, so our award-winning fluffy and original style pancakes make it easier than ever to tuck into tasty.”

Conveniently available online and in-store from Waitrose, the pancakes are ready after just 25 seconds in an 800W microwave. They can also be grilled, fried or cooked in the oven – or simply eaten straight from the pack, meaning there’s no reason to lag behind in the pancake race to the table!

Each are made with a soft soya mix, making them perfect for soaking up lemon juice, maple syrup, or the topping of your choosing.

Charlotte McCarthy, Vegan Buyer at Waitrose & Partners, says: “Pancake Day is set to excite consumers this year. With many restaurants continuing to be closed through lockdown, creating events at home that are centred around food can bring back enjoyable dining experiences. Whether you’re keeping it traditional with toppings, or branching out into new and more unusual flavours, convenient and great tasting products can make Shrove Tuesday more delicious than ever.”

The Squeaky Bean Fluffy American Style Pancakes come in a 200g pack, and the Original Sweet Pancakes are in a 360g pack. Both have a Recommended Retail Price of £2.50.

Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan.
Turn the heat to medium and pour off any excess oil.
Add about 65 ml to 125 ml (¼ C to ½ C) of batter to the pan and swirl the pan around so that the batter settles in an even layer.
Cook the pancake for about 2 minutes or until the base is golden before flipping over the pancake and cooking for a further 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Orange Sauce

Place the Rhodes 100% Orange Fruit Juice in a small saucepan.
Add the Rhodes Seville Orange Marmalade and heat to boiling point.
Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened.
Add the liqueur if using and the lemon juice.
Increase the heat and bring the mixture back up to just below boiling point.
Remove from heat and add the butter, one cube at a time, mixing each cube in well before adding another.
To Serve

Layer the pancakes in a stack alternating with a layer of the orange or naartjie segments, the Rhodes Pineapple Pieces, and the cream.

“I’m Graham Fletcher the head chef of Equals Health. A company started by Harrison Jones a 2017 candidate from the apprentice. We produce organic and healthy meals. We currently supply such retailers as Planet Organic and are just about to launch our own range of frozen organic meals, protein balls and smoothie mixes on our website equalshealth.co.uk

We’ve put all our efforts into creating the finest range of organic frozen and grab-and-go meals, made with only the best ingredients. Everything is ethically sourced and lovingly made. They’re flash frozen at the point of production to lock in the nutrients and great taste, these meals offer a great option for customers looking to stock up their freezers with a range of delicious and healthy meals.

I decided for pancake day this year I would replicate the folding tortilla craze from social media. For the fillings I went for my favourite dessert, banoffee pie. On each quarter of the pancake I put caramel, banana, crushed biscuit with grated dark chocolate and cream and then folded it up into a triangle

It was the most beautiful decadent pancake I have ever tasted.”
