Danish beer pancake |
Happy Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Faschingsdienstag, Malasada Day, Sprengidagur, Martes de Carnaval, and Pancake Day!
In the Middle Ages Shrove Tuesday was a day for Christians to confess sins so they enter into the season of Lent and prepare for Easter with a clean spirit. In New Orleans, Venice and Brazil there are elaborate festivities before the austerity of Lent. Today it's also known as Pancake Tuesday. In some parts of the world it's an excuse to eat pancakes. Pancake races are held where participants run down the street, flipping pancakes in a frying pan. Authentic Danish pancakes are made with beer and served with ice cream. Nothing wrong with that!
