Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is a traditional celebration that takes place before the start of Lent. Pancakes are often consumed on this day as a way of using up rich foods such as sugar, butter, and eggs before the start of the Lenten fast. Pancakes with lemon and sugar are a classic British recipe that has been enjoyed for generations. These pancakes are light, airy, and slightly tangy, making them the perfect start to your day.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together.
2.	Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the flour mixture. Stir well.
3.	Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring constantly until all lumps are gone.
4.	In a non-stick frying pan, heat a little butter over medium heat. Add about 1/4 cup batter into the frying pan and cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes per side until they are a light golden brown color.
5.	Squeeze a little lemon juice over each pancake and sprinkle some caster sugar on top. Serve hot and enjoy!
