4th Mar 2025

Why do we have pancakes today? 🥞 Pancake Tuesday, also known as Shrove Tuesday, has its roots in the Christian tradition of using up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter before Lent—a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter. The tradition of making pancakes dates back centuries, with different cultures adding their own twist. Today, it’s a fun and delicious way to celebrate before the more solemn season of Lent begins!
