In Britain, Ireland, Canada and Australia, Pancake Day celebrated on Shrove Tuesday. It’s the day before Lent, when Christians observe abstinence for 45 days before Easter. It is also known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, especially in the Americas.
The custom is to empty the pantry of all sugar, fats and eggs to avoid temptation and reduce waste. And what are these ingredients good for? Pancakes, of course!
