Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Shrove Tuesday is observed mainly in English speaking countries, especially Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, but it's also observed in other countries (Germany, Sweden, the Philippines, etc.). Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, so its date changes on an annual basis.
In most traditions the day is known for the eating of pancakes before the start of Lent. Pancakes are eaten as they are made out of the main foods available: sugar, fat, flour and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent.
RECIPE (for 8 pancakes)
- 1 large egg or 1 egg and one yolk.
- 280 ml of milk
- 110 gr of plain flour (4 heaped dessertspoons)
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
- a pinch of salt
Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Break in the egg (and yolk, if using) and add a pinch of salt and a splash of the milk. Whisk the egg, gradually incorporating the flour, to make a smooth cream. Whisk in the rest of the milk and the melted butter.
