Ah, Pancake Day. Everyone's favourite unofficial holiday that's best celebrated as boldly as possible. Whether you're giving up sweets, chocolate, food, or anything at all for Lent, everyone deserves at least one pancake on its namesake day. We've rounded up all the loveliest bits to buy to make your celebration as charming as possible.
MAY WE SUGGEST: An easy pancake recipe with lemon and sugar
Whether you're a more-sugar-than-lemon person or not, no pancake day table is complete without a little bit of citrus. Opt for the more playful lemon squeezer from Laila Gohar for tables of two, but something more industrious may be needed for family affairs.
Before the pancakes can be served, they need to be made (obviously)–and chances are it'll be a one man band in front of the stove. You'll be grateful for whatever help you can get, be it from Smeg's ‘turbo' hand mixer or De Buyer's non stick pan.
A full table of pancake themed crockery might be overkill, but a nod to the day here or there is just right. These absolutely err on the side of kitsch, but how thrillingly sweet are these woodland creatures asking for pancakes? If you don't like them you must have a heart of stone. A pancake day essential!
No matter whether your pancake day celebrations are for the whole family or just for you, there's no denying it's a messy affair. You'll need an apron and some tea towels on hand to help keep you clean.
