Directions
Combine the dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the wet ingredients:
In a jug, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Pour into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate:
Gently stir through the finely chopped Whitakers White Chocolate, so it’s evenly distributed in the batter.
Cook the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
Pour small ladles of batter into the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip and cook for another minute until golden.
Make the white chocolate drizzle:
Melt Whitakers White Chocolate, cream, and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in short bursts in the microwave) until smooth and glossy.
Serve and decorate:
Stack the pancakes high, drizzle with the white chocolate sauce, and top with berries, cream, or curls of Whitakers White Chocolate.

How to Store Your Homemade
After making these white chocolate pancakes, store any leftovers to keep them fresh.
Cool them first on a wire rack to stop them from getting soggy.
Stack the pancakes with baking paper between each one to avoid sticking. Put them in an airtight container or a resealable bag. Keep in the fridge for up to three days.
To freeze, lay them flat on a baking tray until solid, then move to a freezer bag.
They last up to two months this way. Thaw in the fridge overnight or warm straight from frozen in a toaster or oven at 180°C for a few minutes.
This method works well for pancakes with Whitakers White Chocolate bits, as it keeps the texture soft.
A Brief History of Pancakes in the UK
Pancakes hold a key place in UK history, tied to old traditions. Records from the 1400s mention them in early cookbooks.
They link to Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, when people use up eggs, milk, and fat before Lent. This falls on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
A famous tale from 1445 in Olney, Buckinghamshire, tells of a woman rushing to church with her frying pan, starting pancake races that continue today in spots like Olney and Westminster.
Recipes grew common by the 1600s, with 1658 versions using flour, eggs, and milk for thin pan-cooked cakes.
Flipping for even cooking appeared in 17th-century notes.
Pancakes draw from Roman and Celtic origins, spread by settlers and missionaries.
Now, Pancake Day remains a family favourite, often with lemon and sugar or modern toppings.
