Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.  Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, so its date changes on an annual basis.

In most traditions the day is known for the eating of pancakes before the start of Lent. Pancakes are eaten as they are made out of the main foods available, sugar, fat, flour and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent.

Above info taken from Wiki, for the full article here is the link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_T…

This time of year in England all the supermarkets have isles dedicated to making pancakes.  Ready made pancakes, pancake mixes, lemons, sugar, raisins and syrup (the usual toppings that are used here)  Personally I am not really much of a pancake fan but searching through these photos is starting to change my mind.

Enjoy.

Dutch pancakes have the size of the frying pan you use to bake them in, and they are plieable and have the thickness of a tortilla wrap.
Ordered in a restaurant they usually have the size of a pizza, but still they are plieable and have the same thickness as mentioned before.
Traditional they are eaten as a dessert after a thick soup, especially the dutch pea soup (which is called "snert") with fried bacon pancakes (spekpannekoeken) served with ehh.. stroop (like molasses, very sweet)
More usual is to have just a pancake meal, with various things to go with it, like honey, jam, several kinds of sugar, molasses, nutella, you just choose the one you like to have on your pancake.
Mine are almost always made with thin slices of a bacon type of meat, (cured and smoked salted pork), however you can bake them plain, or use sliced apple, anything to your imagination and taste.
