Pancakes For Breakfast

There’s nothing quite like a delicious pancake in the morning. This pancake recipe is sure to be a hit and one you’ll come back to time and time again! Easy to make, with a hint of Vanilla..they taste incredible!

The History of Pancakes

The first recorded mention of pancakes was in 600 BC in ancient greece. A poet named Cratinus wrote ‘a pancake hot and shredding morning dew’. The Greeks version of the pancake was a ‘tiganites’ and was eaten for breakfast alongside warm honey, nuts and fruits.

One of the first printed recipes for pancakes date back to the 16th century in the French cookbook Livre fort excellent de cuysine (1542). The Humble pancake soon became extremely popular and was regarded as an affordable food staple for families. It was easy to make, cheap, and most importantly…filling!

The Pancake started to gain momentum in the UK during the 1600’s. Unlike stacked American Pancakes which are chunkier and fluffier, the british homemade pancake is traditionally flat and drizzled with fresh lemon Juice and sprinkled with sugar.
