  • Two course pancake meal on Shrove Tuesday with no exceptions :D 

    We do a few savoury to begin with - cheese, fake ham that kind of thing. Then we move to lemon and sugar or maple syrup. Always crepe style on Shrove Tuesday but I actually prefer American/Scotch pancakes normally.

  • Very traditional here: white wheat flour + eggs + cow’s milk (full, unskimmed), fried in butter, sprinkled with currants, rolled up on a sugared plate and served with a squeeze of lemon juice.

  • Lemon and sugar. We'll eat them with fillings etc on other days of the year but on Shrove Tuesday it has to be lemon and sugar.
  • American style as been requested here. Thick and covered in maple syrup.
  • Golden syrup on mine.

    It's my birthday!  And it was also pancake day on the day I was born. (It's not always the same date).

    I'm having lemon juice, gorgeous. With maybe a dash of sweetener. Mmmmm.

    We have savoury mince, it's just onions, carrots, potatoes and mince, sauted and gravy added.  

    I will use quorn mince tomorrow. 

    My mum used to make it with corned beef when I was growing up.
