It is Pancake Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the start of Lent and 6 weeks to Easter.
Today we made pancakes in class using
pancake mix (yes, we cheated a little), a pancake maker (still cheating a bit), oil, water, lemon, sugar and a fish slice (lots of us call this a spatula).
Traditionally people made pancakes the day before Lent began because this gave them a chance to use up all their "nice" ingredients like eggs and sugar before they began their 6 week fast in preparation for the great festival of Easter.
We had to add the water to the pancake mix and shake well (we all took turns).
Teacher cooked the pancakes and we ate them with lemon and/or sugar.
They were absolutely delicious.
