Shrove Tuesday

Pancake Day.

I say what I always say….why don’t we have pancakes more often?

I like mine with lemon & sugar.

I agree! I made American fluffy ones this time (you whisk up the egg white to fluffy first then fold into the egg, flour, a little baking powder and milk) and had blueberries with maple syrup. Never tried that before - yum! Yours looks delicious.

@casablanca wow your men had a real treat…..I love the sound of your recipe. I had maple syrup too but didn’t use it. Harry likes them with just sugar & I like lemon.

[Dianne]

Yum - lemon and sugar for me please.

[julia]

Yep love it with lemon and sugar, but banana blue berries and maple syrup pretty good as well..

[Maggiemae]

Your pancake looks light and tender. I like them with lemon and maple syrup.

Envious ! guess what - I had forgotten it was Tuesday and it being Shrove Tuesday - to G's disappointment !! So we shall have a Shrove Wednesday ! Looks a lovely pancake Pat ! - Yes I am a traditionalist ! and its sugar and lemon for us ( the lemons are bought and are in the fridge!! ) 😉

[Carole Sandford]

We had ours with lemon & sugar too. Though Lucy was different, with sliced banana & chocolate sauce. We always think we should make them more often but for some reason never do…..

[Boxplayer]

Wonderful - ours postponed to tomorrow in the hopes mum can make it

@boxplayer @carole_sandford @beryl @maggiemae @julzmaioro @dide Seems like we all like pancakes! They do vary but I like them our way thin & flat. I don’t call those fatter smaller ones proper pancakes, those are drop scones to me.

Good picture

[Phil Howcroft]

we are savoury all the time pat, enjoy

[Renee Salamon]

Perfect way to eat them - I forgot this year, silly me

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat - I am with you Pat - only the thin traditional are Pancakes -- but I do love drop-scones too . Mum was a dab hand at those and I loved them , hot buttered and with homemade damson jam ( it had to be damson jam ! ) - what one remembers from one's childhood !!

[Babs]

We always used to have pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, but I never ever think of them here in Australia. I guess Pancake Day isn't really a thing here. Haven't had pancakes for years.

[Brian]

Yum. Lemon and sugar please

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, well done. I didn't do it! Our daughter in Oslo made Galettes de Sarrasin. She put me to shame! I may do some at the weekend!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Spot on Beryl!

[JFarrer]

Please a pancake! 😋 (I hope you get the reference)

[bkb in the city]

Delicious

[Hazel]

That's a good one, Pat

[Pat Knowles]

@aguycalledjack Yes Pancake Day at Whitechapel Jack! Just think you all had the day off school to go round knocking on doors & saying ‘please a pancake’. Oranges galore instead! Old customs! I think they still do it now!
