New for 2025 is Good Food’s first air fryer pancake recipe – Air fryer apple pancakes

Pancake Day is the busiest day of the year for Good Food, the UK’s number one food media brand, with goodfood.com regularly getting over six million page views each Pancake Day.

The most popular recipe is Food Director Cassie Best’s traditional three ingredient Easy Pancakes, but the rise of American-style fluffy pancakes has seen them hold second and third place on the most viewed recipes on goodfood.com, and they now make up four out of the top 10 most viewed recipes on the site.

“We have over 300 sweet and savoury pancake recipes on goodfood.com and every year we add more thoroughly tested recipes from the indulgent Chocolate-filled with caramelised bananas, to Eggs Benedict to the Classic crepes with lemon and sugar. This year given the popularity of air fryers we’ve tested a new recipe for how to make Apple pancakes in an air fryer, great for a Shrove Tuesday special breakfast, or a Pancake Day dessert served with ice cream.”
