5 fun pancake facts!
Pancakes were originally created as a way to use up all the leftover fatty and rich foods before Lent began on Ash Wednesday
The Guinness World Record for the most pancakes served in eight hours is 34,818
The record for the highest pancake toss is 9.47m (31ft 1in) made in New York in 2010
Pancake races happen all over England throughout Shrove Tuesday. The tradition is thought to have originated in Olney in the 15th century, after a woman lost track of time while cooking pancakes. When the bells for mass rang, she ran out of her house with the pan and pancake still in hand. Olney still holds a pancake race every year.
The largest number of pancake flips in the shortest amount of time is currently 349 flips in two minutes, a record achieved by Dean Gould in Felixstowe, Suffolk, in 1995.
