It’s Pancake Day! / Dan palačink!

Pancake Day has been celebrated for centuries. In some countries this day is known as Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Day and it is celebrated by baking and of course eating pancakes. Date is different every year because it depends on the date of Easter but it is always in February or March .

It is a sin if you don’t make a big stack of pancakes on a Pancake day even if you start baking them for late dinner or almost midnight snack. I wanted to make buckwheat pancakes with poppy seeds filling, but my brilliant idea went south because we ran out of buckwheat flour. So I made normal pancake batter and I have baked a lot of nice, thin pancakes. I filled them with lightly sweetened cottage cheese, poppy seeds filling and fresh mango cubes and it was divine.

Dan palačink praznujejo že stoletja. Ponekod je dan poznan tudi pod imenom Pancake Tuesday in Shrove Tuesday. Datum dneva palačink vsako leto variira, saj je je odvisen od datumske umestitve Velike noči, vedno pa je februarja ali marca pred pepelnično sredo. Dan se seveda praznuje s peko palačink.

Na Dan palačink mora vsak pravi ljubitelj speči zavidljiv kup palačink in jih pojesti s svojim najljubšim nadevom, tudi če se tega loti pozno zvečer. Želela sem narediti ajdove palačinke z makovim nadevom. Moja ideja je splavala po vodi ko sem ugotovila, da mi je zmanjkalo ajdove moke. Z malo manjšo vnemo sem pripravila klasične palačinke in makov nadev. Odlične tanke palačinke sem nadevala z rahlo sladkano skuto, makovim nadevom in kockami svežega manga.
