Sugar & lemon for me too.
I've just had four large pancakes, I don't have any willpower.

Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday) is the day before Lent starts. Traditionally many Christians have given up foods during Lent. These rich foods are used up on Shrove Tuesday. I've certainly used up plenty today

Lemon juice and sugar for us too. (A few years ago at Assp DD was delighted to discover the lemon wedges - intended for cups of tea - which she squeezed onto pancakes and waffles for breakfast!)

Just had mine with lots of lemon juice and a teensy sprinkling of sugar Have done really well on my diet this week so fingers crossed I haven't just undone all my hard work Tomorrow morning will be truth-time

 

[Minniespal]

Went for a run after work, so I don't feel too guilty about having the two pancakes with sugar and lemon juice

 

[pokemon_master]

I ate 5 pancakes after tea before my parents made me stop. Just as well; they probably ate the rest of the batter.. LOL

This is really interesting. I'm Catholic and Irish/Scot by hertiage (all 4 Grandparents from Scotland & Ireland) and I never heard of pancake day. It sounds like a fun tradition and one I think my family will adopt.

Did someone tell you a lot of towns and villages have pancake races through them. A group of people run as fast as they can tossing the pancakes as they go. They do round here in the Midlands anyway, after the snow we've had the last couple of days maybe not so many people were doing that this year! We need some
