Celebrating Shrove Tuesday

Children made pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. The pancakes were absolutely gorgeous and the whole school had them for Friday breakfast club.
The recipe for pancakes is on the blue image - why not try making some at home?
 
What about this pancake facts?
The largest pancake was created in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, in 1994, by the Co-Operative Union, Ltd. It was 49 foot (ft) wide and one inch (in) thick. The pancake weighed three tonnes (that's the weight of an African elephant!). It's no surprise then that the batter-made monster took more than just a frying pan to flip over!
The highest pancake toss
If you're going to try this one at home, you're going to need to go outside, or have a taller house!
The biggest flip measured at 31 ft 1 in - that's nearly five times the height of Peter Crouch.
The record was also set by Mike 'The Pancake Man' Cuzzacrea in 2010 in New York, USA.
