golden syrup topping

Sheet pan pancake with butter and golden syrup

This is such an easy way to cook pancakes for group of people. It takes about 10 minutes to make the mix up and 10 minutes to cook. It’s so fast that this is one of those times where you really do need to turn the oven on to preheat before starting the preparation.

This is so much easier than being tied to a fry pan and warming drawer when making pancakes for a group of people.

Any excess can just be sliced into sandwich sized pieces and toasted in an air fryer for a couple of minutes when required.
