Our flippin' brilliant pancake competition with Just Milk & Pyrex

It's time to reveal the winner of our Pancake Day competition.

We all know the history of Pancake Day. A chance to use up the last ‘good things’ in the house like eggs and butter before the Christian fast of Lent. Of course nowadays a pancake looks positively lean compared to what most adults eat on a daily basis. We're also a more secular society. Either way though, pancakes are just one of those things we enjoyed as children, and re-discover as adults.  

A flippin' great prize

To mark this year's Pancake Day, we had a great prize package up for grabs, including a lovely Pyrex frying pan, precision measuring jug and mixing bowl, and a supply of Just Milk

The competition

To be in with a chance of winning, all we asked you to do was take a photo of you flipping a pancake, upload it to our Facebook wall, or tweet it with the hashtag #lovefoodpancakes and share the link in the Comments section below.

Cheryl Louise Gauden's fella displayed some great 'cake tossing skills.
Mel Crumpton nearly won, after all she does need a new pan after hers broke on the first toss.

And the winner is...

The judges felt that Emily Ann Morris deserved the prize for flippin' while holding a toddler and making us laugh. Watch the video here
