Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent in the Roman Catholic Church. "Shrove" is the past tense of the word "shrive," which means to hear a confession, assign penance, and absolve from sin. Shrove Tuesday is a reminder that we are entering a season of penance.
Shrove Tuesday is also known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras (which is simply French for Fat Tuesday). So Pancakes for dinner today! Recipe Below if you haven't got one !
Pancakes
125g flour
3 eggs
250ml milk
30g melted butter
Mix all together in one go until well blended. Allowing the mixture to stand for half an hour may improve it marginally, but use it straight away if necessary.
Heat the frying pan and rub it with a little oil or butter. Any more and the pancake will be heavy. As there is butter in the pancake batter, it’s often not necessary to add more oil or butter to the pan later.
Pour the pancake batter into a jug and pour a skim of batter onto the hot pan.
Roll the pan quickly so the batter spreads over the pan and replace on the heat.
Allow to cook until brown without moving it around. The pancake will only flip successfully when well cooked.
Tilt the pan away from you so the pancake almost slides off, and flip so the uncooked side goes onto the pan.
Allow another minute to cook the second side.
Serve immediately or stack and put in a warm oven to keep hot while cooking the rest.
