Pancake day, or Shrove Tuesday, is celebrated across the world. The event was originally seen as a ‘feast day’ before lent, Ash Wednesday, where Christians give up things much like Jesus when he fasted.
Over the years, Shrove Tuesday has become less about the religious aspect and more about the pancakes you make. From the traditional topping of lemon juice and sugar to a wild variety of toppings like ice cream, chocolate and fruit, people have made the dish their own.
With pancake day being tomorrow and having never made one on my own before, I decided I would attempt to make the treat from scratch. Having never made them on my own, always doing them with my mum, I was a little apprehensive as to how they would turn out.
