Go all out this Pancake Day with a main meal made from the traditional treat

<p>Our recipe for a dreamy Pancake Day involves pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but if we're having to adjust our expectations a little, we think you can't go wrong with a pancake main followed by a pancake pud!</p><p>That's right, pancakes don&rsquo;t have to be sweet and no, we&rsquo;re not just talking about the classic American topping of bacon (although what&rsquo;s not to love!). With the addition of a runny egg or a flake of salmon, you can transform the humble pancake into a delicious main. They can even sub in as a pasta alternative if you are looking to serve up a dinner to impress.</p><p>We've rounded up our best recipes for sweet tooths <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/11-pancake-day-recipes-that-everyone-will-love">here</a>, now it's time for the savoury ones to take centre stage and do we have some dishes for you!
