There is no season to enjoy pancakes, you can eat them all year round.Sweet or savory, they delight us for breakfast, meal, dessert or children's snack.
However, every year, crepes are prepared especially forMardi Gras Day.
But what is Mardi Gras actually? Originally, it wasa popular festival that precedes Lent and during which excesses, mainly food, are allowed before the Lenten fast.
Moreover, in the calendar, Mardi Gras is scheduled as the last day of celebration when we celebrate with enthusiasm the end of the carnival festivities celebrated in our regions of France.
On Mardi Gras Day, it is traditional to eat fatty foods, especially pancakes.. This tradition could be explained by the fact that in the past, we voluntarily exhausted the reserves of eggs and milk that we were deprived of during the next 40 days of Lent. From a practical point of view, this avoided wasting food stocks unnecessarily, only common sense!
This Lent period, in the minds of Christians, honors the 40 days of Jesus Christ, spent in the desert, according to the Bible.
Today, Mardi Gras has become ratherA family celebration where we have fun dressing up for the pleasure of adults and children. Kids put on the most beautiful costumes of favorite heroes and princesses and we make pancakes at home.

The Soft Brown Sugar Pancake Recipe for Mardi Gras
The ingredients:
- 250 grOf flour
- 4eggs
- 15 gOf sugar
- 25 clOf milk
- 25 clOf beer
- 100 grOf butter
- 100 grBrown sugar for the topping
- A pinchOf salt
The utensils:
You will need a salad bowl, a whisk, a frying pan or crepe maker, a wooden spatula, a scale and a ladle.
The steps to follow:
1)In a salad bowl, using a hand whisk, start byWhisk the 4 whole eggs and the sugar then add the salt.
2) Then pour in the flourthen whisk until &rsqor; to obtain a homogeneous paste.
3)Add the milkthen mix the dough vigorously to obtain a smooth dough thenPour in the beerand do the same. ThenAdd the melted butter, it's what you put in that will give the pancakes the flavor and the delicacy.
4)Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rest for an hour.
At this stage, the dough is quite liquid, don't worry because the flour will cause the dough to swell to obtain a thicker texture.
5)Once the dough has rested,Preheat your pan or crepe maker in advanceFor a fairly lively heat. All you have to do is adjust the heat of the fire at the sight of the first pancake if the fire is much too strong. The more your pan or pancake maker heats up and the more it heats up in temperature, the first pancake is often more difficult to start mainly for this reason. As you are warned, this cannot happen to you!!!
A tip, remember to mix the dough well again before starting your first pancake because flour that is heavier than liquids tends to settle at the bottom of the bowl.
6)Place a dab of butter on a folded paper towel then spread it on the pan or crepe maker. The butter will add flavor and color to the pancake. However, butter burns very quickly, I advise you to pass a little oil on the support with the paper towel just to grease in order to prevent the butter from burning. The pancake should cook for about a minute or 2 on one side and then a minute on the other at most. Sprinkle the crepe with brown sugar while the pancake is still on the stove then fold it over.The brown sugar will bring a caramelized taste.
That's it, you got it, you don't have to put all of a sudden in the salad bowl for the recipe, there isa timeline for ingredients.
Here the rest time indicated is one hour but your preparation can be ready a day in advance and put in the fridge. The dough will continue to ferment and develop its taste.
Of course, you can use other toppings likehoney, maple syrup, spread, salted butter caramel, salted butter caramel, whipped cream, slivered almonds, banana, caramelized apples, the list is exhaustive.
