Happy Shrove Tuesday!

Hi there!

Today is Tuesday, February 25th and we celebrate Pancake Day Today!

In Britain, people eat pancakes along the day. In some towns there are also pancake races. People run through the streets holding frying pans with pancakes. Each runner throws the pancake into the air and catches it in the pan. The winner is the one who hold the pan having the whole pancake in the arrival.

Do you know that...?

• Another name for pancake Day is Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday.
• The world record for the biggest pancake is 15 metres in diameter and weighing 2.980 kilos

Anyway, if you want to cook delicious pancakes, I recommend you to watch this useful video in which my sister-in-law and her lovely grandson will show you an easy pancake recipe. Here you have the ingredients:
