Pancake day - or Shrove Tuesday is always the day before Ash Wednesday, this is the start of Lent and 40 days before Easter!
Traditionally this day was a day to use up all of your eggs and fats before giving them up for Lent.
Nowadays people all over the UK, even if they do not follow Lent, eat lots of pancakes on this day!
People also often take part in fun and silly games such as pancake races! In these races you have to run whilst you are flipping a pancake in a pan!
There are lots of different toppings that you can put on your pancake, Lots of people like lemon juice and sugar but you can put orange juice, chocolate and many more sweet toppings on the pancake- or even make it savoury!
