Why? Because Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.

Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year to year and falls between 3 February and 9 March.Enjoy the Shrove Tuesday, I am sure you could indulge your self in eating delicious, pancakes with sweet honey and fruit toppings, garnished with ice cream or just plain soft pancake with jam.

To Cook the Pancakes
Fresh Festive Fruit Pancakes
I did savoury pancakes as well, use the same batter but omit the sugar, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese or Gruyere and have caramelised onion for the topping. They are absolutely delish.
This Shrove Tuesday I did savoury pancakes, with salmon and tomato sauce topping and garnished with yoghurt. Another delicious savoury pancake.
