Can’t have Shrove Tuesday without pancakes. Otherwise you’re not properly set up for the Lenten discipline. It was also my daughter’s birthday, so I had an experiment. Allow me to introduce my “Pizza-ish Pancakes”
Make about 8 medium sized pancakes. Spoon a couple of good dollops of sieved tomatoes into the middle. Sprinkle with a little oregano and grated cheese. Fold each pancake and arrange in a baking dish. Cover with white sauce and generous amount of grated cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbling and lovely.
It made a change from the usual. My youngest didn’t quite believe they were pancakes, but she soon tucked in.

I just made plain old buttermilk. They seem quite dull by comparison.

We had a pizza and pancake party at our church, so we had our pizzas and pancakes as separate dishes. In between courses, we had a talk by a teacher from a local secondary school that heard of our church’s twin church in Zambia and so has raised an enormous amount of money (£40,000) for electricity, etc., for the school attached to the church. Some of it was raised by an Ede lunch, a Diwali party and even a cross-dressing 5-a-side football match! These children, of different faiths and none, have been shocked at what they have learned about African life. Now 30 of them in 6th Grade are saving and planning to go there in 2007 to work in this African school for two weeks. After this talk and our pancakes, we enjoyed a hilarious game of ‘Call My Bluff’. A super Pancake Party!
