What topping do you have.....
Chocoalte, Jam, or just simple sugar and lemon?
Did you know Pancake Day always falls 47 days before Easter so the date moves but it will always be between February 3 and March 9.
The name Shrove Tuesday comes from 'shrive', meaning absolution for sins by doing penance.
The day gets its name from the tradition of Christians trying to be 'shriven' before Lent. Christians would go to Confession, where they admit their sins to a priest and ask for absolution. A bell would be rung to call them to Confession, which was called the 'pancake bell'. It's still rung today.
