Have you ever wondered what, how and why the idea of eating pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday came about? Well over 1,000 years ago, in the days before chocolate and crisps, making pancakes was a way of using up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season of Lent. Simple!
With only your creativity limiting what you can put in or on a pancake, today's the perfect time to get creative and get everyone in the kitchen for some cakey action!
