These are the nation’s most useful BBC Food recipes
Pancakes are not just for Shrove Tuesday, it turns out.
Brits are loving pancakes all year round come rain or shine, according to the BBC, which has analysed its most popular recipes that the nation apparently can't live without.
An outcry by food lovers across the land to news that more than 11,000 delicious recipes would be mothballed from the BBC online, lead to a massive petition and then a backtrack from the Beeb, which said, essentially, keep calm and carry on – they'll move over to the Good Food website.

Where else would we turn for a pancake recipe – classic or American – or instructions for a series of classic dishes, which have been revealed as the most searched for on the site?
It's noted that pancakes don't just get interest around Pancake Day – although there is of course a spike – but all year round, while the reason for clicking on the recipe might not, in fact, be because they're our favourites. It may simply be that we can't remember how to make them.
