Every year we celebrate Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day. It is the day before Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. You can read more about Shrove Tuesday here, and also find a recipe for simple Greek pancakes with no butter. Over the years we’ve tried various fillings. We love galomizithra and honey, while tahini and molasses still remains our absolute favourite. Don’t forget to check out all of our recipes for Pancake Day.
This year, inspired by saffron- our product of the month, we have created a delicious and nutritious filling.
We are using our smooth and silky almond butter, made from purely organic, raw almonds, with no added salt or preservatives. It is a deliciously indulgent way to get all the nutrients from the nuts, but also makes a fantastic base for our filling. We’ve paired it with saffron, orange and honey, creating a truly unique spread that is sure to impress all pancake lovers. You can serve it with chopped almonds, more honey and orange slices (we managed to find some blood oranges).

1/2 jar almond butter
