Celebrating National Pancake Day
February 15, 2021 by DarcieFebruary 16 (Shrove Tuesday) is National Pancake Day. The Tuesday before Lent begins is a traditional day for eating pancakes, hearkening back to a time when any remaining rich foods were eaten prior to fasting. Traditions aside, this food ‘holiday’ is a perfect excuse to make breakfast for dinner.
Jenny has previously posted all about the best pancake recipes, including Ebelskivers (Danish pancakes) with lingonberry jam, Overnight Belgian waffles, her favorite Lighter-Than-Air Waffles from the Saint Louis Days, Saint Louis Nights: A Culinary Tour of the Gateway City book, and many more. You can also find tips for solving the troubling problem of the wayward first pancake of each batch.
The EYB Library contains nearly 6,000 pancake recipes, and about one quarter of those are available online, including these gems:
- Peach and sour cream pancakes from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman
- Terry’s Japanese soufflé pancakes from Borough Kitchen
- Scallion pancakes with dipping sauce from The Splendid Table by America’s Test Kitchen
