Pancakery success

International Pancake Day aka Shrove Tuesday aka Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras has come and gone. And fun was had by all (as far as I know).

We made two different recipes, one of French Crepes and one of Icelandic Pancakes (Kirstin's ol' standby).

Sundry ingredients involved:
eggs and butter and sugar mixed.

Flour sifted.

Finished batter, with no lumps (a more difficult task than you might expect)

And away they cook.

And we thought we made way too much batter. Not so, we were all hungry.

Sparkling wine and orange juice. Thanks for the recommendation, liquor store man, it was tasty!

I think we shall have to make this a yearly tradition! And now that it's Ash Wednesday and Lent has began, anyone considering giving something up? I'm thinking it might be a good way to continually think of Easter and the God's ultimate sacrifice. Thoughts?
