ENGLISH PANCAKES PLEASE!  🥞👌🏼

Details

Let’s do this event again!

$10 a person
One of my absolute favorite memories as a child was to wake up to my mum swinging two to three frying pans with English Pancakes being tossed onto my plate for a weekend breakfast treat! The combination of melted butter, lemon (and in our family tradition, we used maple syrup instead of sugar) was and IS a favorite comfort food of mine.

Join us at a private residence in NE Mesa to experience a good ol' cuppa tea, assorted prosecco bubblies and some English pancakes. Address will be privately messaged when RSVP confirmation is made the day before... Just bring yourself and a $10 contribution towards pankcakes and beverage. You also have an opportunity to donate to the club in a kitty to help towards future events. Thanks in advance for your support!

What is Shrove Tuesday and Pancake day all about In the UK??

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins). A bell would be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the “Pancake Bell” and is still rung today.
Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.
A pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of batter and fried in a frying pan. A traditional English pancake is very thin and is served immediately. Golden syrup or lemon juice and caster sugar are the usual toppings for pancakes.
