Well, it's Shrove Tuesday today, and it's taken me by surprise once again as it's just not part of my consciousness. To be perfectly honest, it's hard to understand why it continues in a time when we don't all give up butter and eggs and milk for the following forty days. So we don't need to use up those perishables, and we don't need to enjoy a rich fatty blowout before log weeks of abstinence.
However, just in case people are playing the game, and are thinking of making pancakes today -- and why not? They're delicious and versatile any day of the year -- may I take this opportunity to mention my rather nice recipe if you're happy with the lighter, baking-powder-risen American version.
Do let me know if you have any favourite variations or ways of using them.
And if you'd like to know about new recipes as they're created, please do sign up to my rather infrequent newsletter over there at the right. ==> ==> ==> ==> ==>
