Pancake Tuesday begins the day before Lent officially starts.Lent being the 40 days of fasting and abstinence prior to Easter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically people refrained from eating eggs for those 40 days, so pancakes were the perfect excuse to use up eggs. So when you think about it, Pancake Tuesday was the first step in the battle against food waste! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all of the best religious based holidays, Pancake Tuesday has its roots in pagan culture and was quickly appropriated by the Christians. During those pagan times, a weeklong festival was held to celebrate spring and pancakes were served. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is thought that the round shape of the pancake was symbolic of the sun. Whatever your beliefs though, I think we can all agree that pancakes are a treat worth waiting a year for! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DID YOU KNOW \u2013 in Ireland we consume an average of 2.55\npancakes per person on this one day! That\u2019s a lot of lemon and sugar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00684_WebReady.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you need to create the perfect pancake, we all know\nthe ingredients, four, eggs and milk, but what tools do you need? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A good crepe pan, non-stick preferably so that you don\u2019t have to overuse the oil, leading to greasy pancakes<\/li><li>Weigh your measurements carefully to get the batter consistency just perfect<\/li><li>Whisk those dry ingredients to prevent lumps\u2026 nobody wants a lumpy pancake!<\/li><li>Wipe out the pan between batches <\/li><li>Keep an eye on them.
