Our year is punctuated by dates in our calendars - today is Shrove Tuesday, the start of LENT & the time leading up to Easter.
We always mark this time at home, often with friends, and everyone gets a chance to flip the thin pancakes.
I always use the same simple recipe for thick or thin pancakes, just adding more milk to thin it down.
Today I did some smaller, thick ones, some with blueberries in them, then thinned the batter to do a thin one for flipping each.
I think it is a great thing to cook & flip your own thin pancake - it gives you a moment to think about what Lent means & the action connects you to it. The trick is to make sure it is loose of the pan & to tip the pan towards you as you flip.
These thin ones are always dusted with cinnamon sugar & rolled up.
We had them with strawberries, blueberries, natural yoghurt, maple syrup & a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
I have a bit of a sweet tooth so am giving up chocolate for the 40 days of Lent.
It is actually 46 days to Easter but Sundays are not counted.
I hope you have had a flipping good time too. Thank you for stopping by, it is appreciated.
