Pancake Day 3 Basic Recipes

Pancake Day, also called Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras (which is French for "Fat Tuesday"), is the last day of feasting before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday . It's called so due to the tradition of eating pancakes on the day. This tradition comes from a time where any remaining rich foods were eaten on the day before Lent to use them up, and fasting begins. The date can vary from as early as February 3rd to as late as March 9th.

Everybody loves Pancake Day! We show you 3 easy basic recipes & endless toppings. Enjoy! :)Source: http://www.a...ay-recipes

Guys I really enjoy this meal & found a photo of exactly how I like to eat it too. For some reason I only eat this during the Fall season but I really should eat it more this winter. This photo by msconnections is showing it served with cottage cheese & pumpkin butter. I like it that way and I like it with whipped cream, pumpkin butter and pecans too.

Pumpkin Butter Recipe
  • 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1. Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan; stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir frequently. 2. Transfer to sterile containers and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

Pumpkin Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups milk

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Halloweegan Pumpkin Pancakes

Look-ah-here what I found :)
I enjoy finding great blog posts and passing them on to fellow bloggers. Here's a good one to share.

These pancakes are so cute and what could be better than eating a plate of these happy pumpkin faces for National Pancake Day (October 29), Cool foods for kids month, Eat better eat together month or for Halloween. All these holidays are celebrated in the month of October. 

Hey these could easily be adapted for National Smile Day too. That's not an October holiday, but one to remember for later.
