Stacked in style: your guide to the ultimate pancake day

Pancake Day is here, and if you’re not already flipping out (pun fully intended), it’s time to step up your game. Whether you’re a kitchen pro or just here for the snacks, this is your chance to make breakfast-for-dinner a full-on event. But we’re not just talking about any pancakes—we’re talking about a stylish setup, a foolproof recipe, and next-level toppings that deserve a moment.

 

Because let’s be honest—good pancakes taste even better when they’re made (and served) in aesthetic kitchenware. 

Step 1: THE SET UP

Before you even think about flipping, let’s get the essentials sorted. Pancakes taste 10x better when they’re made with cute kitchenware. 

 

Your Pancake Day essentials:

  • Mixing bowls & whisk – Functional, photogenic, and worthy of a flat lay.
  • Non-stick pan – Because no one wants a pancake crime scene.
  • Silicone spatula – For that perfect flip.
  • Serving plates – Because the perfect stack deserves the perfect serve.

STEP 2: THE RECIPE - FLUFFY PANCAKES MINIMAL EFFORT

Now, let’s talk technique. This foolproof recipe will have you flipping like a pro in no time.

 

You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup flour (gluten-free if that’s your thing)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (or honey, if you’re feeling wholesome)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk (oat, almond, or regular—your call!)
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for a plant-based people)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 

How to make the magic happen:

  • Mix the dry ingredients in a chic Moda+Co bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth (minimal effort, maximum results).
  • Heat your non-stick pan, pour in the batter, and wait for bubbles.
  • Flip confidently- channel your inner chef.
  • Stack high, because when it comes to pancakes, more is always more.

Step 3: Toppings = Main Character Energy

Your pancakes are the canvas—time to give them main character energy. Whether you keep it classic or go full-on gourmet, here are our go-to combos:

  •  Banana & Biscoff – Sweet, caramel perfection.
  • Nutella & Strawberries – The undisputed MVP.
  • Matcha & White Chocolate – For those who live for the aesthetic.
  • Classic Maple Syrup – Simple, timeless, never basic.
  • Lemon & Sugar – Old-school, but still iconic.

Pro tip: Mix and match. Pancake Day is a no-rules kind of holiday.
