RECIPE
Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday, when Easter’s Lenten season begins. Shrove refers to the confession of sins in preparation for Lent. It’s an old custom on this special day to make pancakes — using up a household’s eggs, butter, and fat, as these foods would be avoided during the Lenten fast.
This simple, hearty, and delicious pancake recipe reflects the season as well as The Salvation Army’s commitment to feeding people in need as efficiently and effectively as possible. We hope you enjoy it — and we invite you to make it a family tradition of your own!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 cup milk (for fluffier pancakes, use 1 cup of milk)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Recipe makes about 8 pancakes.
DIRECTIONS
- In a bowl, mix together the first 4 (dry) ingredients.
- In another bowl, mix together the remaining 5 (wet) ingredients.
- Pour the bowl of dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Preheat a griddle or pan to medium-high, then lightly oil.
- When oil is heated, pour 1/4 cup batter onto cooking surface for each pancake. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly browned, with bubbles forming on the top and edges appearing dry. Then flip and cook until browned on the other side.
- Finish with your favorite toppings, then serve and enjoy!
