I am still wondering how the lemon juice is used on top of the pancakes. May have to give that a try, although I am we have no lent traditions in our baptist household. ; )

I too often wondered about the whole shrove tuesday thingy. Thanks for that. Did you ever have your pancakes with Lyle’s Golden Syrup? Yummm!

Mmmmmm. I could eat pancakes anytime of the day. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. These recipes sounds awesome! I’ll definitely give them both a shot

The recipe for the crepes (pronounced like ’steps’ and not the ‘A’ sound in the UK) is with proper bonefide cups, good fo use in the American kitchen.

I listened to the audio, I think we’re closer to the 1st audio. In fact, the way I say it, can also mean “sit up” hahaha.

When I made the crepes, I was wish I had some Nutella around. Then again, maybe it was a good thing I didn’t!

Don’t know about your neck of the woods, but everyone here called it “Fat” Tuesday. I nearly fell about laughing the first time I heard that many years ago.
I made the kids the thin pancakes, but we ended up calling them crepes as the little guy became very confused and insisted that daddy makes the real (ie. American) pancakes.

I just use the mix stuff, but this sounds so much better. I often cook breakfast for supper, mainly because I never cook breakfast anymore.

Is the liquid measure in the crepes recipe at 1-1/2 cups = 1-1/2 mugs or 12fl oz.? Not trying to be persnickety, just clear. SI Metric is SO much more clear than the US Customary system. Poundals anyone?

Also, how do folks from the UK pronounce the word “syrup”? I do it as the 2nd pronunciation in American English, per http://www.m-w.com .wav file. My wife says it as the first. I find these things mostly fall according to family traditions. Just curious, and always entertaining.

(I have loved the m-w site for many years, as someone incapable of pronouncing words I haven’t heard pronounced before; some type of odd learning disability I’d say…)

I’m going to make some crepes for brekkie on Friday morning – fresh strawberries and heavy whipping cream inside. Yum!

Pancake Day is one of the better UK traditions I have adopted. I always make the breakfast pancakes (American style) but my wife is the only one who can make proper Shrove Tuesday pancakes.

I love how the day before Lent we are expected to stuff ourselves into oblivion. Ahhh!
