Eat up all those worldly buttery, sugary things before tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, when you'll have to give up pancakes for Lent ;)

We probably only have pancakes on Shrove Tuesday anyway so no worries there but will have to think of something else to give up!I didn't realise until last year though that Lent doesn't include Sundays so you can have whatever you've given up on Sunday - kind of defeats the object of the exercise really though

pancakes are light and fluffy ie self raising flour crepes are thin flat and great rolled up with a savoury or sweet filling

No, I don't mean the American fluffy-style pancakes - pancakes in our house are the flat thin ones served with lemon & sugar or rolled with a filling.I'm sure there probably is a difference but I have no idea what it is .I can't see any difference in the ingredients or recipe.

A crêpe is a very thin lacy pancake.

With caramelized orange and Cointreau or similar or brandy, flambé! Very 70s

Or with mixed seafood in a mornay sauce!

Otherwise known as Crepes Suzette ! Very 70's or may even 60's and absolutely scrumptious ! I remember having this at Plimmer House in Boulcott Street in the early 70's.
