February 16th is Shrove Tuesday, which is often referred to as Pancake day. It is a Christian tradition to eat pancakes before Lent commence and have to give up for 40days.  These days when pancake day its more a celebration for the end of a long winter and can look forward again to spring.
For me - pancakes are a perfect excuse to enjoy a treat or a great dessert ;p
