Pancake day is just around the corner and it’s a great way to enjoy some family fun in the kitchen – even with your furry friend! We’ve created a dog friendly pancake recipe for you to make for your companion. Don’t let them miss out on the excitement, this year they can have some flipping fun!



Ingredients:  

  • 50g Plain Flour (swap to a gluten-free variety if your dog has an allergy to gluten or wheat) 
  • 100ml Water 
  • 1 Egg 
  • A Drizzle of Olive Oil

Items You Will Need: 

  • Mixing Bowl  
  • Spoon 
  • Measuring Scales  
  • Hob 
  • Frying Pan 



Method:

  1. Mix the flour, egg and water in a bowl 
  2. Add a drizzle of olive oil to your pan  
  3. Set your hob to a medium heat 
  4. Scoop a portion of batter into the pan 
  5. Cook for 30 to 40 seconds – when the edges start to colour, now’s the time to flip! 
  6. Repeat on the other side 
  7. Add your toppings!

Safe Toppings for your Dog:

  • Peanut Butter (make sure it's Xylitol-free, as Xylitol can be toxic to dogs)
  • Banana
  • Apple
  • Strawberries
  • Gravy Bones


We hope you enjoy recreating this recipe as much as we enjoyed creating it. It is great to involve your dogs in the family fun – especially when they get to eat their own pancake too! This pancake day share your photos of your dog's enjoying their pancakes on social media using our hashtag #GreysLikeGraham.
