Pancakes are often served on Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day), which marks the last day before Lent in the Christian Calendar. Many Christians begin fasting on Ash Wednesday (stop eating certain foods) or give up luxury foods at this time. Lent lasts for the 30 days leading up to Easter.

This is a traditional thin pancake recipe. Pancakes can be served with many different savoury and sweet fillings. They are often served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of sugar. We have served ours with fresh fruit and a homemade fruit sauce. Delicious and healthy too!
