Pancake day
In Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday.
Pancake Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last daybefore the period which Christians call Lent. It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes.
Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself,and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.
Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the daybefore Ash Wednesday.
The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess their sins so that they were forgivenbefore the season of Lent began.
Pancake Recipe
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups milk
1 egg,lightly beaten
3 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions

Get a large bowl for the dryingredients. Use a sifter or a fine sieve to sift the flour together with the baking powder, salt, and sugar. Do not skip the sifting step or else you’ll end up with very lumpy batter and dense pancakes.You can even sift the flour twice for extra fluffy pancakes. Stir the dry ingredients together lightly with a whisk to combine.
If you’re using melted butter, melt it completely and set it aside tocool slightly. Don’t let it harden again. I find that leaving the melted butter to sit for about 5 minutes is good. This is usually how long it takes for me to prepare the rest of the wetingredients. Mix it together quickly with the egg, vanilla, and 1 ¼ cups milk with a whisk.
If you mix together the wet and dry ingredients too much, the pancakes will become tough. Excessive stirring can...
