British people generally aren't that big on eating pancakes throughout the year, but when it comes to pancake day, it's a case of eating as many as you can in one day.

Don't worry, all the rest will cook OK and come out in one piece. Easy, American-style, fluffy pancakes are great for feeding a crowd at breakfast or brunch.
