Fluffy Pancake Recipe

Pancakes have been a beloved dish for centuries, with their origins tracing back to ancient Greece and Rome. The Greeks called them “tagenites,” derived from “tagenon,” meaning frying pan. These early pancakes were made using wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk.

As time went on, pancakes evolved and spread across the world, taking on different forms and flavors. In medieval Europe, they were often made with spices, rosewater, sherry, and apples. By the time they reached America, pancakes had become fluffy and sweet, thanks to the introduction of baking powder.

A little bit about pancakes

Pancakes are more than just a breakfast staple; they hold cultural significance in many parts of the world. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is celebrated by indulging in pancakes before Lent begins. This tradition symbolizes using up rich foods like eggs and butter before the fasting period.

Today, pancakes continue to be a favorite for breakfast lovers everywhere, enjoyed in countless variations and often shared as a comforting meal with family and friends. Whether you prefer them stacked high or thin and crispy, pancakes remain a timeless treat.
