Today is Shrove Tuesday which is also known as Pancake Day!

Those animals look so cute! I just made some classic flat crepe style pancakes with a bit of nutella.
I wasn’t ambitious enough either to make the animals this time! Nutella is a delicious pancake topping, I hope you enjoyed it!
I did, thank you!
Wow these look amazing I can’t wait to make one 😃
