Mardi Gras has come! And that means it’s time to cook pancakes and temporarily forget about all sorts of diets, because if the “carnival is fed up well, money will come.”

How many people, so many pancake recipes. And every woman has to find the proper one herself, through trial and error. For pancakes – a delicate matter: the same recipe in different houses obtained in different ways.

The flour can be different, eggs may be of different sizes, with different milk fat content and as a result – completely different batter. Further important how the pancakes are made: on which type of pan, on a gas or electric stove. So all pancakes taste different!

I am always so happy to tuck into both cheeks mother’s pancakes – everything what my mummy cooks taste temptingly delicious. My sons love pancakes, which I bake. This dependence was always and this will last forever or until mothers will stop cooking (what will never ever come).

Wish you all the best in Carnival!
