Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is not the only day Pancakes are relished. It is a must-have in any family that has a sweet tooth and mine is no exception. It is one of the fastest sweet dish that can be prepared impromptu. Since pancakes were originally made so as to finish off the dairy products and fat, before the beginning of the fasting period of Lent, it must contain both eggs and milk, but here is a recipe without eggs. Therefore, my Vegan friends, too, can savour their favourite pancake without guilt. The original ingredients of a pancake had their own significance; eggs for creation, flour for the staff of life, salt for wholesomeness and milk for purity.
