Gluten Free Vegan English Pancake Recipe

Pancake day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the day that precedes Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. I remember when I first moved to the UK and started college, one of the girls in my maths class asked me what I was giving up for Lent. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about! “Chocolate” she said, “I’m giving up chocolate for 40 days!”.

I haven’t heard anyone mention giving up anything for Lent since! Pancake day, however; I hear plenty about every single year! It’s become an excuse for us to celebrate and enjoy the awesomeness of the humble pancake! What used to be the thing to do to use up ones eggs, milk and sugar before a period of fasting has now been taken up by consumerism. We now go out of our way TO BUY ingredients for pancake day! It’s funny how things change!
