Shrove Tuesday (PANCAKE DAY!)

What better way to celebrate Pancake Day than cooking with all your family in comfort!

We would love to see all your Pancake Day fits in your Loungers!

I will be wearing my Sea Otter Loungers & cooking up a storm!

What is Shrove Tuesday?

Shrove Tuesday is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up all the eggs and fats before Lent.

What will you be giving up for Lent?

Recipe

I have included a failsafe, fool proof pancake (BBC Good Food of course!) recipe below:

Ingredients:

• 100g plain flour
• 2 large eggs
• 300ml milk

Method:

• Put the plain flour, eggs and milk into a bowl with a pinch of salt and whisk to form a smooth batter.
• Set a frying pan over a medium heat.
• Cook your pancakes for 1 minutes on each side until golden.
• Serve however you fancy!

Super simple to make & ridiculously yummy!!

Sweet or Savoury?

For me, nothing beats the classic lemon and sugar! Although I am partial to a bit of Nutella…

If you fancy a mix of sweet & salty try the American icon - bacon and maple syrup (be warned, this doesn’t work in a crepe… this flavour combo must be enjoyed with the thick, fluffy American pancakes)!

Will you be having a pancake race today? I always remember loving them at prep school!

Happy Pancake Day!!
