Next, lightly grease a pan with oil – coconut oil can also be used. Once the pan is hot add 1/4 cup of the mixture and cook over medium heat for roughly two minutes on each side. Flip the pancakes when the edges look slightly golden, making the pancakes easier to flip. And cook the other side until it is the same colour – et voila! You can then serve the pancakes with your chosen topping. Fran Winberg, Linnaean’s Head Chef recommends serving with agave syrup and seasonal fruit, yum!

Shrove Tuesday is always held on the day preceding Ash Wednesday, which marks the first day of Lent. The reason the date changes each year is because it’s commemorated exactly 47 days before Easter Sunday, the date of which also changes each year. For Christians, Pancake Day is the traditional 40 days and 40 nights of abstinence ahead of Easter. Historically, Christians would mark Lent by abstaining from a range of things, inclusive of the ingredients which make up pancakes. As a result, it was seen as one of the last days to indulge in something packed with sugar, fats and eggs and to use up ingredients in the home before Lent began!Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
