Or Shrove Tuesday, to give it its 'proper' name.
Today is the day when all rich ingredients usually found in the home are eaten in preparation for fasting during Lent. We don't tend to fast any more, but we still take the opportunity to make pancakes.
The word
shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain
absolution for one's
sins by confessing and doing
penance.
[7] Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the shriving (
confession) that Anglo-Saxon Christians were expected to receive immediately before Lent.
It's an old tradition!
On Pancake Day, pancake races are held in villages and towns across the United Kingdom.
[15] In
1634 William Fennor wrote in his
Palinodia:
"And tosse their Pancakes up for feare they burne."
So, a quick guide to making a delicious pancake:
Mix 4 oz of plain flour, an egg and half a pint of milk together.
Next get your (preferably non-stick) frying pan and put it on a high temperature. Melt a little butter:
Then simply spoon a ladle-full of the mixture into the pan, making sure it coats the bottom evenly:
Then (here with the help of a lovely assistant) toss the pancake!
(It's somewhere above the camera lens there)
Finally, to be
really traditional serve with sugar and lemon.
Happy Pancake Day!

The one on the bottom was a little too brown from the butter and hot hot pan but the rest are perfect examples of pancakes
Sure they get a little frilly around the edges

We were trying to be polite about that, Aslan

I only say that out of a sincere concern for her health and well-being, also I don't want to fap to her until I can discern her relative hotness, said mole impeding that.

Dear God, I would look like Sasquatch in that kitchen!
Ha ha, I'm just kidding, it's always that time.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here

Wait, what's the paradox?
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
I was going to say something about your face here but I just noticed that quoting a quote doesn't work the same way here. Crazy.
