It wasn’t until the eighteenth century and the influence of French cooking and their thin crepes that pancakes more as we know them now.
Pancake Day is not only celebrated in the UK, Ireland and America, but also in other regions, such as some parts of Northern Spain, where they eat pancakes on this very same day, too!
