Pancake Tuesday was last Tuesday, but I didn’t want to wait another. Pancake Tuesday is also known as Shrove Tuesday in England, but thanks to New Orleans many of us know it as
MARDI GRAS
and even though it was last Tuesday and not today, pancakes are still good. Another Kathleen told me that Rosa Parks had a pancake recipe in her papers, one for peanut butter pancakes no less. Check it out.
Notice also that the pancake recipe is on the back of an envelope. I’ve done that, too.
Close up of the recipe…..

Making some peanut butter pancakes last Tuesday…..all part of the pilgrim training. There were also Gervase Markham’s 1617 pancakes and Amelia Simmons 1796 slapjacks
