With Shrove Tuesday coming up tomorrow, you’ll be wanting to whip up some breakfast for dinner with these easy and fluffy pancakes!
”Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent (Ash Wednesday), because they are a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent.” – Wikipedia
I was skeptical of adding the white vinegar at first, but after not using it in other pancake recipes I’ve tried, I realize that it does indeed make a difference.
We like to play with our toppings, using fresh or frozen fruits, real maple syrup, chocolate chips, nuts, seeds… really, anything goes! And I always make extra for school snacks or for the next morning breakfast. Leftover pancakes are the best!
ENJOY!
