Maple syrup.... Celebrating the fact that I no longer have to walk around with a bit of charcoal smeared on my forehead the day after.... stupid religious tradition
Gosh I forgot about the ash on forehead! Shows how many years I've stopped being religious!
I hope I've got some maple syrup left for our pancakes - if not it'll be the lemon & sugar ones - I don't rave about pancakes myself but I usually make them for my husband, not his religion but he's not religious either just an excuse for eating sweet stuff for him!
Why wait for one day of the year to have pancakes? My mum used to make once a month at least.
Another religious thing we go through because it is tradition.
I think of it more of a treat, and if you constantly eat them or have them a lot then it is no longer a treat. There are certain things I only have once in a blue moon and these are treats.
I like savoury pancakes with ham and cheese, or with bottled asparagus spears wrapped in a pancake then covered in cheese sauce and baked. But good old lemon and sugar is still tje best.
Just about to go and make a huge stack of pancakes ready for tonight. I've never made them in advance so I suppose i'll just reheat them in the MW..Hope they taste as nice as fresh ones!
I call it Pancake Day rather than Shrove Tuesday. I'm having mine with sugar and Nutella but I have to wait til after 8pm as I'm not home before that. I'll eat a proper dinner in one of my university's restaurants beforehand though.

I think lemon and caster suger takes some beating.
What i don't understand is pancake mix? It's only flour egg and milk in the first place. Does the mix have powdered egg in it? is that the boon?
We have them all year round in our house. My lads love them.

Not had them since I moved out though? May make some tomorrow actually
Dang. Just realized - got no Baileys, better go shopping
no very runny batter, with 1 egg at most.
pancake batter is like yorkshire pudding batter, or fish and chip shop batter
the french standard, butter-sugar is nice,
I like butter and lemon also.
I have them all year round but I always ensure we have them on Pancake day lol!!!
They're on all of my calanders in this house..:eek:
Had to Google that - it looks yummy!
Good old lemon and sugar for me, though we also love them savoury, ham and cheese being another favourite.
I've never had a sweet pancake
Always savoury for me, i guess that's the way it's always been in my house, my mum, dad and two brothers all have savoury pancakes
Ohhh that's a great idea. Almost crepe suzette without the fire hazard. I might have to steal that one.
Thats how mine will be later tonight.
