English pancakes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Shrove Tuesday, also known in the UK as Pancake Day, is a day when people eat thin, traditional pancakes. Preparing the batter takes only a few minutes, and all the necessary ingredients are usually readily available. English pancakes are very similar to Russian blini—just as thin and golden. Traditionally, pancakes are served with a slice of lemon, sprinkled with sugar before serving. However, the British also enjoy these pancakes with sweet fillings, such as sweet berry jam or preserves. Serve them however you like, whichever way you prefer. Happy baking!
