Beginner (A2) | British Culture
Every year in Britain, people celebrate Pancake Day. It is always on a Tuesday in February or March.
On this day, people make pancakes at home. A pancake is a thin, flat food. You cook it in a pan.
To make pancakes, you need three things: flour, eggs, and milk. You mix them together. Then you cook the batter in the pan.
The most exciting part is the flip! You throw the pancake up into the air and catch it in the pan. It is very difficult!
British pancakes are thin and flat. People eat them with lemon juice and sugar. Yum!
In some towns, people have pancake races. They run down the street and flip their pancake at the same time. It is great fun!
