Pancakes All Around for Pancake Day

Shrove Tuesday better known to many as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day is linked to Easter and the date changes each year.  Whether you are celebrating Pancake Tuesday in the traditional sense or just want to join in on the pancake fun we have a recipe for you!

Pancakes are traditionally made from flour, eggs, sugar and fat.  We chose canola oil because it is our local choice and good for our hearts!  It turns out that we have more than 7 variations of pancakes to share.  A mix of traditional with modern means a pancake for every palate.
