Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, in the UK falls on 16 February.
This is the last day before Ash Wedensday and the start of Lent, a time of fasting or abstinence in the Christian calendar, leading up to Easter Sunday.
This was traditionally the last chance to use up rich foods whioh people would give up for Lent, such as eggs or dairy produce - the main ingredients of pancakes.
Sprinkle with sugar and a squeeze of lemon and enjoy.
