Recipes such as jams, pancakes, possets, where they are cooked on the stove top
In the UK we have the tradition of Pancake Day. That is a particular day, Shrove Tuesday, when we traditionally eat a thin crepe-like pancake which is most usually served with some sugar and lemon juice. They can be rolled up or folded into triangles for eating, and they are delicious. As we approach Shrove […]
