Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday is the same thing as Fat Tuesday, the Mardis Gras celebration that leads up to Lent. This is the last day before Ash Wednesday, when fasting and giving up certain foods are common. Shrove Tuesday is also called Pancake Day in Great Britain. It's a celebration, so set your table nicely and enjoy every bite.

Shrove Tuesday Menu

• Classic Pancakes
  These pancakes are super easy and very delicious. Try serving them with a little warmed honey instead of maple syrup for an Eastern European twist.
• Appley Kielbasa
  This easy crockpot recipe is a great choice for this meal. Let it cook all day and you'll come home to some marvelous aromas that will get your tummy rumbling.
• 24 Hour Salad
  If you want a salad that's more like a dessert, this is the recipe for you. It's perfect for the indulgence of Shrove Tuesday.
• Avocado Green Salad
  If this is going to be a dinner menu, serve this green salad to just balance things out. If you're having a breakfast or brunch, however, you can omit it.
• Fastest Cheesecake
  I don't know if you want dessert when pancakes are on the menu, but if you do, try this delicious and easy pie. By the way, if it won't set up (it should if you avoid low fat and nonfat ingredients), freeze it! It's just as delicious that way.

Of course, you can make any pancake recipe you'd like. Pair it with some delicious sausages and comforting side dishes.
