…or Pancake Day in this little corner of Britishness that is our apartment.

Shrove Tuesday is the day when every self respecting British persons meal plan involves a whole heap of delicious pancakes. English pancakes, so delightfully thin (think crepes) doused in lemon juice and sugar, Scotch pancakes with butter and honey or American pancakes fluffy and fat with maple syrup and bacon. If you’d rather try something less traditional check out my Pinterest board for some inspiration

Whilst the Brits don’t let quite so loose as the Germans at this time of the year a lot of families will have fun in the kitchen tonight, tossing a pancake is a real art form. One which I’ve never quite mastered, so I’ll be getting plenty of practice today.

Will you be having doughnuts? pancakes? Or something completely different today?
