pancake tuesday at 123 house

I haven't celebrated Lent in a traditional way for many years now, but there are some rituals I must practice. One of them is observing Shrove Tuesday. Always the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and before Lent begins, it is often known as Pancake Tuesday and a day I have enjoyed since I was a child.

This year we made Bobby Flay's Lemon-Blueberry-Ricotta-Buttermilk Pancakes with Blueberry-Cassis Relish and Blueberry Maple Syrup...what a mouthful, the best mouthful of pancakes I have ever had in my life. As you can see below, we paired the cakes with thick-cut applewood smoked bacon.

Save this for the next time you are having breakfast for dinner or you're looking for an outstanding brunch recipe, truly outstanding.
