I love pancake day, we did it every year growing up and did it for my kids. They loved finding money in the pancakes. I like peanut butter and a little homemade maple syrup...mmmmm0

It is a Christian tradition over here, not just Catholic.0

It's also Mardi Gras. I see a fabulous opportunity in this convergence.0

Ah now you've got to be careful which pancakes you mean. For us Brits pancakes on Pancake day are made traditionally with flour, eggs, lard (now most people use butter) sugar and a pinch of salt - the batter is runny and the outcome is more like Crepes.
Pancakes that you eat with maple syrup and ice cream tend to be what we call Scotch Pancakes - the batter is thicker and so they are smaller, but raise further and are more like a cake.
I prefer the Scotch Pancakes - never understood the attraction to traditional full of fat, feel those arteries getting harder pancakes with Jiff Lemon squirted all over them But enjoy yours if you're having some. Haven't seen a jiff lemon ad on the tv this year either!!0 -
I am looking forward to pancakes tonight, but does anyone know how many calories there are in a typical pancake?0

How did this start as a tradition? What is the point of it? I don't mean that in a rude way... just what is the meaning? Also, I may have gotten the religions mixed up... sorry.

Exactly! It's the same as when people who aren't irish celebrate St Patricks day.
It's just a tradition where everyone celebrates.0 -
