Settling down for the weekend and tucking into some pancakes with your favourite toppings is a rare treat.
And whilst you don't ever need an excuse to go all out on your toppings, many opt for the simple options.
But soon, you can go all out along with millions of others.
Yes, it's almost Pancake Tuesday.
So if you want to ditch the lemon and sugar and become more adventurous, we are here to tell you when you when you can do it this year...
When is Pancake Tuesday 2022 and why is it late?
Last year Pancake Tuesday - also known as Shrove Tuesday - fell on February 16.
This year, it falls on March 1 - much later than usual.
Pancake Day is a traditional feast day to mark the beginning of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, which falls on March 2.
Shrove Tuesday, according to the Express, was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast - and what better way to use them than making pancakes.
The day marks the end of Pre-Lenten Season, also known as Shrovetide.

Traditionally Catholics would begin to abstain from eating meat, eggs and animal produce for 40 days after Shrove Tuesday.
Many still do, but now it’s more common to give up a guilty pleasure or bad behaviour for the period.
Anglo-Saxon Catholics would attend confession at their parish church, where they would be ‘shriven’, or forgiven for their sins.
