Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is a special day celebrated in many countries around the

world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and

Canada. In France, the US and other countries, it is called Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. In

countries like Spain, Italy and Brazil, Shrove Tuesday is held at the end of Carnival(狂欢节).

Pancake Day is always on a Tuesday in February or March. On this day, many people eat

pancakes: thin, flat cakes made in a pan. Another tradition in the UK is pancake racing. People run

in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss(抛扔)the pancake in the air and

catch it in the pan several times. In some pancake races, people dress up in fancy clothes.

Pancakes are very easy to make. Try our recipe.

Ingredients: One cup of flour（面粉), some butter or oil, one cup of milk, lemon juice, one

large egg, some sugar and some salt.

Instructions: Fill one cup with flour and put into a bowl. Fill another cup with milk and pour

into the bowl. Crack(打碎)the egg into the bowl and mix the flour, milk and egg until the mixture

is smooth. Put a very small amount of butter or oil in a pan, and when it is hot, put some mixture

in the pan and move the pan to make a thin pancake.

After one minute, hold the pan carefully and throw or toss the pancake in the air to turn it

over. Now cook the pancake on the other side.

When the pancake is ready, squeeze(挤)some lemon juice and put some sugar on it and eat it

immediately. Mmm, delicious!
