Merciful God, You are great in compassion and Your tenderness for us is without measure. We ask You to give us today our daily bread, and also provide for the needs of all of Your hungry children around the world. Through Christ Your Son and Our Lord. Amen.

Shrovetide Pancakes

.

I just remembered that I said I would post this recipe. I apologize if you've actually been waiting for it. Unless you're in another part of the country, I guess I'm too late for breakfast -- but, we'll be eating them for lunch. Join us?

Shrovetide Pancakes

2½ cups flour
½ t. salt
1 t. baking soda
½ t. cream of tartar
1 T. sugar
4 eggs
2 to 2½ cups buttermilk
1 stick butter, melted


Whisk together dry ingredients.
Whisk together wet ingredients and then stir them into dry ingredients.
Batter should be the consistency of heavy cream.
Preheat lightly greased skillet.
Cook 3 T. batter for each pancake.
Serve with powdered sugar and lemon wedges, if desired
(or just go with what the kids like -- in our case, Canadian Maple Syrup).
