THE countdown to Pancake Tuesday is on – and time is running out to snap up those mouth-watering ingredients and cooking tools.
Lidl Ireland has come to the rescue, providing must-have toppings and pans for the delicious day.


The bargain supermarket said: “Flip into Pancake Tuesday like a pro! Make the perfect pancakes with our Pancake & Crêpe Pans.”
Shoppers can pick up the seasonal crêpe pan for just €4.99, reduced from €6.99 – so shoppers can spend the extra €2 on toppings instead.
The pan is suitable for all hob types except induction and it can make up to 25cm diameter crêpes.
It cooks fast enough to make three crêpes and eat them while piping hot, ensuring they are not cold by the time you have finished.
For busy mothers getting children ready for school who still want to make pancakes for the special day, this product is the perfect solution.
The Pancake Pan can make up to seven small pancakes at once – all you need to do is make the batter, pour it in the slots and flip it over when done.
It’s priced at €9.99 and is suitable for all hob types, including induction.
The pancake pan features heat-resistant technology, meaning it can withstand up to 150 degrees Celsius.
And the range also offers Protein Pancake Mix for those who want to get protein while treating themselves on a special occasion.
All you need is milk and margarine; then you’re good to go to make delicious protein pancakes.
Shoppers can choose from chocolate chip or crispy salted caramel.
The mix is priced at €1.99, but it’s €1.49 for those who have the Lidl Plus app, which can be easily downloaded from your phone’s app store.
Pancake toppings
However, that’s not all Lidl Ireland has to offer, as the yummy range comes with four topping choices to go with your pancakes.
Shoppers can buy some chocolate chips for just €0.89 to add to their pancake batter – choose from white, milk, or dark chocolate.
They can also pick up some Sprinkles for €1.19 to go with it, offering three yummy options: Multi-Colured Strands, Hundreds & Thousands and Chocolate Strands.
And there are also €1.59 mini marshmallows and €3.69 dark maple syrup to go with your pancakes.
The supermarket is also selling affordable ingredients for those who wish to make their pancake batter from scratch.
And there are many types of bargain spreads to choose from, including the Nutella dupe and Biscoff spreads.
