Pancake Day also known as Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
The tradition is that people indulge themselves in eating pancakes this day. It is a great way to use up the remaining eggs, milk, sugar & flour which are forbidden during Lent, when only “plain” food is eaten. It is last day of the "feast" before "fast" begins.
Treat yourself to some yummy pancakes today. We have got a truly delicious recipe for you.
