Description

As against pancakes made with milk, these are made with buttermilk. Also flour has been substituted with wholewheat flour. Pancakes are eaten in English speaking countries on Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake day), which is the day preceding Ash Wednesday which is the first day of Lent. Pancakes are eaten on that day as they are made of the main foods like sugar, fat, flour & eggs whose consumption was traditionally restricted during Lent.

Note

1) Each pancake was made with 1/4 cup of batter.

3) Rest the batter for 5 minutes. Meanwhile heat a pan, coat lightly with butter or oil. Take 1/4 cup of batter and pour onto the pan. Need not spread the batter. When bubbles appear on top, flip over and cook till golden brown. Add a drizzle of butter on top.

Serve with honey or any jam or fruit sauce. I served it with homemade strawberry preserve and honey.
