Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day 13th February 2018!
Just a reminder!
I still love to make pancakes after supper on Shrove Tuesday (for Americans it’s the UK version of Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday) where traditionally one ‘fattens’ up on store cupboard ingredients before Lent which begins the following day (‘Ash Wednesday’).
My preference is to make them in the usual British manner ie. Thin and crispy, similar to a crepe and add a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sugar.
Of course I enjoy tossing the pancakes too! (One of mine hit the kitchen ceiling last year!
).
Enjoy!

I do love pancakes! Although only sugar for me.

Thanks for the reminder! I've forgotten it every year we've been here (almost eight now).
Surely it's Lyles Golden Syrup and lemon juice though?

Buttermilk pancakes, nice and fluffy with butter and maple syrup.

I thought I’d ‘bump’ this - you may want pancakes for supper!

The Tuesday ushers in LENT. I for one am observing Lent this year - using the Western Church Calendar.
