Pancakes

pancakesmallPancakes have been the dish of choice on Shrove Tuesday in the UK for hundreds of years and were originally a way to use up the last of your rich foods such as milk, eggs and sugar, before the 40 days of Lent began and the fasting season began.

Pancake races are held up and down the United Kingdom in celebration of Shrove Tuesday whilst the rest of the world also celebrates in the form of Mardi Gras, Fastnacht Day and of course Rio de Janeiro’s Brazilian Carnival.

Although traditionally pancakes served on Shrove Tuesday are simply sprinkled with a little lemon and sugar there are a ton of other toppings you can use to make them taste delicious, including Golden Syrup, Melted Chocolate, Sauteed Apples, Cinnamon, Whipped Cream or Fresh Fruit
