People make pancakes and take part in pancake races.
The basic ingredients for pancakes are the symbols of four points of significance at this time of year:
Eggs ~ Creation
Flour ~ The staff of life
Salt ~ Wholesomeness
Milk ~ Purity
The ‘UK classic’ topping is lemon juice and a sprinkle of white sugar, before rolling your pancake into a sausage shape and devouring it.
