A tasty tradition! We started baking the pancakes as soon as the school was opened. In turn, the children got to participate in making the pancake batter and bake the pancakes. Once on their plates they got to decorate the pancakes and devour them in their class. Such a treat!
Do you know why we celebrate Pancake Tuesday? The day before Lent begins is most significant in all cultures that observe the Lenten period. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday and is also known as Pancake Tuesday and Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras. It’s a day which offered a final blowout before the beginning of the fasting period, certainly where it came to foodstuffs. The feast traditionally involved pancakes.
We’d like to give a special thanks to Sinead for sorting us out with the supplies and baking the delicious pancakes and crepes! Thank you 👏🏼
