He said: “The domed architecture was fun to render as a pancake, though I ended up making several attempts and was quite full by the end.

“I started creating pancakes like this a few years ago.I was put in charge of the kids and one day I thought we’d have some fun making breakfast.

“The next time, I tried a little harder and people liked the photos on Facebook. It’s been exciting reading the comments and reactions on social media.

“It has become a weekly tradition and now my kids are requesting making their own. It’s about sharing something special with my kids. It’s a fun experience we can do together.”
