A little bit of background information: Pancake Day is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent, the time fasting begins. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain milk, butter and eggs, which were forbidden during Lent. The day always falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year to year.
For me (and most other people) it is just a day to eat pancakes. I make them regularly throughout the year, but many Brits only eat them today - with lemon juice and sugar!
Happy Pancake Day!
