What is Pancake Tuesday

Pancake Tuesday is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent. Historically, people used up rich foods like eggs, milk, and sugar before the 40 days of fasting began. What better way to use those ingredients than by making a big stack of pancakes?

Today, it’s a fun tradition for families to gather in the kitchen, flip some batter, and get creative with toppings.
