Get ready to stack ’em high and celebrate the fluffiest holiday of the year – National Pancake Day! Mark your calendars for February 28th, because it’s time to indulge in the deliciousness of pancakes in all their glory.
This day has its roots in tradition, dating back to the 15th century when Christians would use up their rich ingredients before the start of Lent. Today, National Pancake Day is a celebration of this versatile breakfast classic, enjoyed by families and friends around the world.
Sweet or Savory, Endless Possibilities:
The beauty of pancakes lies in their versatility. Whether you’re a traditionalist who craves classic buttermilk pancakes dripping with maple syrup, or an adventurous gourmand looking for new flavor combinations, there’s a pancake out there for you. Experiment with savory options like kimchi and scallion pancakes, or go exotic with banana and coconut creations. Don’t forget the toppings! From fresh fruit and whipped cream to nuts and decadent sauces, the possibilities are endless.
IHOP’s Sweet Tradition:
Since 2006, IHOP has been a proud sponsor of National Pancake Day, offering a free short stack of their Original Buttermilk Pancakes to dine-in guests from 7 AM to 4 PM. This year, they’re also celebrating by offering double PanCoins to International Bank of Pancakes loyalty members for any additional menu items purchased. So head to your local IHOP and enjoy a stack for a good cause, as they raise money for charities supporting children with critical illnesses.
Celebrate at Home:
If you’re feeling creative, whip up your own pancake batter at home. It’s easier than you think! Gather your favorite ingredients, put on some fun music, and get ready to flip. Get your family and friends involved in the fun – have a pancake-making competition, or let everyone decorate their own stack with their favorite toppings. It’s a guaranteed way to create lasting memories.
