In honor of National Pancake Day, we had pancakes for dinner. My mother in law made these pancakes for us over the holidays and my baby loved them. We loved them, too. Here are some facts I gathered about National Pancake Day:
Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.

Ha! I was just thinking this morning that I need to make some pancakes because I have a lot of unused buttermilk in my fridge. These look great! I will try them tonight. Thanks!
Joe would love these pancakes. He loves orange-flavored food. And he loves making pancakes from scratch. I'll have to tell him about these.
