It is an art form ametuer chefs have been trying and in some cases failing to master for decades in pursuit of the perfect pancake.

But this Shrove Tuesday there may well be fewer pancakes ending up on ceilings and floors, as flipping is being replaced with a new and marginally less precarious move - pancake wobbling.

An emerging trend for Japanese-style pancakes which bounce and jiggle on the plate has seen a surge in home cooks attempting the creations, according to BBC Good Food.

They are being inspired by viral social media videos of people wobbling precarious-looking stacks of several inches high super-fluffy pancakes.
