Shrove Tuesday – Let’s Flip Those Pancakes!
Almost Lent and I’m frantically trying to think what I can give up. Something I a) don’t like too much and b) won’t miss too much. Maybe I should take up smoking today and then give it up tomorrow?
Before we launch into Lent we all get to gorge our own body weight in pancakes. I’m a traditionalist and go for the tried and trusted sugar and lemon (not too much sugar though as I’m diabetic). The children love golden syrup or Nutella – or both if I’ve got my back turned. Look away now dentist.
Apparently 25% of Brits don’t know how to whip up a quick batter. Here’s a trusty recipe for the basic pancake. You’ll also find some yummy recipes for doing something different with your batter. Chocolate with cheesecake anyone?
Whatever you do with yours, have a happy Shrove Tuesday.
