Pancake day - historic recipes

This week was Shrove Tuesday so here are some great resources

Find out how to make a Sussex pancake using this recipe published in 1675! from the LSE Digital Library

The Wellcome Library has a great collection of historic recipe books. This example has how to cook a pancake next to how to source a capon in jelly!

BFI Player has on its free section the rather less exotic Findus crispy pancake adverts from the 1980s!

Alternatively try this Pancake song from the Full English Site from Vaughan Williams Memorial Library The Tippitoe pancake song was collected in 1908 is a fabulous bit of folk culture You can view more Shrove Tuesday resources there.
