Pancakes and football: a brief history of Shrove Tuesday in the UK (The Conversation UK)

But Shrove Tuesday isn't just about pancakes. Indeed, historically in the UK, it formed part of a more elaborate pre-Lent festival called Shrovetide, which was ...

By the middle of the 18th century, officially sanctioned Shrovetide ball games were mostly confined to smaller market towns and villages, which is where some live on to this day. Participation and patronage of the game These harsh consequences reflect the worth of Shrove Tuesday football to these communities. On Shrove Tuesday 1373, for example, skinners (who skins animals) and tailors played in the streets of London. Craftsmen and guilds played key roles as participants and providers of the ball(s). Shop windows are [boarded up and businesses are closed](https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/rules-ashbourne-royal-shrovetide-players-8151777) for the day as whole towns take to the streets to join in the annual Shrovetide football game. Under the mayor’s supervision, the Drapers tossed up the balls (which doubled as prizes) for the craftsmen and crowd to play from the common field to the city’s Common Hall. Local governments would gather the “wedding ball” dues, hire drummers and pipers to pump up the crowds, or pay for the footballs directly. [football often fell foul](https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.3138/9781442654044-013/html?lang=en) of authority and was banned outright. These were part of a broader folk tradition, where newly married couples owed a “bride ball” or “ball money” to their community. Medieval royal prohibitions called it “vain, unthrifty and idle”, while [Puritans deemed it](https://theconversation.com/bites-brawls-and-severed-heads-footballs-history-of-violence-28429) “a bloody and murdering practise”. Celebrated in many countries around the world, for Christians, Shrove Tuesday marks the last day, or the feast day before Lent - the 40 days leading up to Easter.

You do not want them to brown too quickly as they need time to cook all the way through. Rub in the butter to make fine breadcrumbs. Now stir in the buttermilk. Stir in the sugar. Cook in batches of three over a medium heat for 1-1½ mins on one side, until small bubbles appear on the surface. Mix together, then slowly stir in the remaining milk to make a smooth, thick batter. Spoon two tbsp batter on top of each other in the pan to form each pancake (about 8cm wide). Lightly grease the pan with butter. Heat a large frying pan until hot. Stir just enough to incorporate everything evenly. Or you may fancy crepe-like pancakes, or Japanese soufflé style. Sift the flour and sugar into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
