We go 'flippin' mad for Pancakes....
Pancake day or Shrove Tuesday is amazing!! All the different fillings you can create is great, savoury or sweet, Pancake Day is always a hit at TruffleShuffle.
Have you ever wondered what, how and why the idea of eating pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday came about? Well over 1,000 years ago, in the days before chocolate and crisps, making pancakes was a way of using up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season of Lent. Simple!
With only your creativity limiting what you can put in or on a pancake, today's the perfect time to get creative and get everyone in the kitchen for some cakey action!
If you've somehow made it this far in life without ever having a Pancake covered in Lemon Juice and Sugar, follow our great recipe and enjoy a 'flippin' great evening....
Ingredients
For the pancake mixture you'll need... - 110g/4oz plain flour, sifted - pinch of salt - 2 eggs - 200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water - 50g/2oz butter To serve - the good bit... - caster sugar - lemon juice - syrup - whatever your hearts desire really!
Our New Star Wars T-Shirts Are Out Of This World!
With so much hype surrounding Star Wars recently with it being sold to Disney and an impressive THREE brand spanking new films coming our way soon, we just couldn't resist the temptation to reaffirm our love of the cult films than with some fab new Star Wars T-Shirts!
With a little something for everyone be it a classic style Star Wars Logo T-Shirt design, a fancy dress style R2-D2 vest, or even a fun twist on a classic with a funny t-shirt, our latest collection is the perfect way to show your love in style and won't break the bank too!
A simple classic, this wicked Star Wars Logo T-Shirt features the logo we all know and love as seen at the beginning of the 1977 film before the text crawl starts.
If you like your style and designs a little different, our new Pool Hall Star Wars T-Shirt is the one for you! Featuring the Dark Lord Vader himself shooting some pool with Boba Fett and a trusty, if not very accurate, Stormtrooper. Let's hope they can shoot pool better than they can shoot their E-11 blasters otherwise things could get messy!

Big Bang Theory Flash Mob Video - MUST SEE!
As purveyors of the finest Big Bang Theory t-shirts around, we don't quite know how we missed seeing this little gem of a video that surfaced on YouTube a couple of months back.
In October last year Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny, arranged a flash-mob which included the entire cast and crew of the show. During filming, Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me Maybe" started playing in the studio, to which the flash-mob starts. Watch the video below to see an amazing performance including Gold Digger, Run the World, Big Pimpin' and Party Rock.
What we'd have given to be in the live studio audience that day!
