Pancake Day 2026: Tasty half‑term pancake bundles for a family brunch at home

Pancake Day is on 17 February this year, right in the middle of half‑term. That makes it a perfect at‑home activity: mix up some batter, get the kids involved, and enjoy a cosy pancake brunch together.

To help you plan, we've put together some info on Pancake Day, the best supermarket bundles, and other ways to save.

What is Pancake Day?

Pancake Day (also called Shrove Tuesday) is the traditional day when people used up ingredients like eggs, milk, and flour before Lent. Today, it’s simply a fun excuse to eat pancakes, and lots of them.

How to make easy pancakes at home

Making pancakes is cheap and kid-friendly, so a great at-home activity for half-term too. You only need a few basics you probably already have in the cupboard:

• Plain flour

• Eggs

• Milk

• Sunflower or vegetable oil

If you want a simple, reliable method, the BBC Good Food recipe “Easy pancakes” is a great go‑to.

And if you’d rather skip the mixing, most supermarkets sell ready‑made pancakes or shake-to-make bottles.
