Shrove Tuesday

Today was Pancake Day and what a feast we had.  So many pancakes were gobbled up!  The Big Pancake story was told too.

I have discovered that if part of the milk in the recipe is substituted for a part of bubbly, mineral water, the pancakes turn out so much better - really thin, light and airy.  We enjoyed them with a few drops of freshly squeezed orange juice, raspberries, strawberries and syrup.
