Today is Shrove Tuesday, which is religious for ‘let’s eat all the pancakes we can fit in our mouths’.
The name actually comes from ‘shrive’, meaning to present oneself to a priest for confession, penance, and absolution.
But since people prefer eating to repenting, it later became a way for us to use up our rich foods, like eggs, sugar and milk, ahead of 40 days of fasting (Lent).
So savoury or sweet, filled with veggies or devilishly decadent – here are some perfect pancake recipes your belly will thank you for learning.
