World's tallest tower of pancakes

LONDON: Staff from TV channel Food Network UK have created the world's tallest stack of pancakes in a bid to celebrate Pancake Day in a 'different' way.

The impressive pancake tower took over 13 hours to produce and required a whopping 253 eggs, 11lbs of flour and over 26 pints of milk.

After the hours of hard work they were lest with 725 pancakes which were stacked into a 32 inch high tower to break the current record.

The highest pancake flip currently stands at 9.17m, the largest pancake measured 15m long and the most pancakes eaten in 1 hour by an individual is 855.

Nick Thorogood, of Food Network UK said: "One of the greatest aspects of British Food is its tradition and the celebration of events such as Pancake Day.

"We wanted to celebrate this year's Pancake Day with something a little different and what better way than to create a giant stack of pancakes!

"Needless to say the team at the Food Network UK headquarters are going to have their fill by the end of the day!"
