Pancakes are a marvellous invention - eggy, milky treats which can be mixed with a host of other ingredients.
Lemon, sugar, cheese and even bacon are the kind of thing which turn a good pancake into something truly special on Shrove Tuesday.
But perhaps chief among pancakey accoutrements is chocolate spread Nutella.
If you've got a jar in the cupboard (how have you managed to not get a spoon and eat it yet?) then put it to good use tonight with one of these easy pancake recipes.
If you're making pancakes for lots of people, may we recommend number four...
1. Add your nutella before you cook
Instead of using it as a topping, why not add your Nutella INTO your batter to make chocolate pancakes?
2. Make banana sushi
Spread a layer of Nutella on your pancake, pop a banana on to it and roll it up. Then chop into small pieces. Delicious!
3. Get creative with kebabs
Alternate your batter and chocolate spread with fruit for a (slightly) healthier choice. Pop a small pancake topped with Nutella onto a kebab skewer and then layer bananas and strawberries or any fruit you like.
You can dip your fruit in Nutella too, if you prefer.
4. Stack it up
Making pancakes for lots of people or simply can't get enough? Alternate layers of pancake and Nutella and keep stacking to make a Nutella pancake...cake. We'll think of a catchier name.
5. Get fruity
Keep it simple with this classic combination of a plain pancake, strawberries and banana. Sprinkle icing sugar for extra sweetness.

6. Add a dollop of cream
Roll your pancake up and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream.
7. Or Nutella-flavoured whipped cream
Keep your pancake plain and whip some cream with a spoon of Nutella to make a chocolatey filling.
8. Roll it
Spread a layer of Nutella on your pancake, roll it up as usual. Chop it into slices and slot these on to a skewer
9. Add peanut butter
Chocolate and peanut butter are a winning combination. You can go overboard like in this picture, or spread thin layers of peanut butter and Nutella over your crepe.
10. Bitesize chunks
Make dutch-style pancakes in bitesize chunks. Put a bit of nutella on the top of a half-cooked pancake and then add more mixture on the top to make these bites.
11. Keep it simple
You could of course go with probably the most popular recipe - just a pancake and LOTS of Nutella. Yum.
