round cake prepared from a batter, and cooked on a hot griddle or
frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads; some use a yeast-raised
or fermented batter. Most pancakes are cooked one side on a griddle
and flipped partway through to cook the other side. Depending on
the region, pancakes may be served at any time, with a variety of
toppings or fillings including jam, chocolate chips, fruit, syrup
or meat. Archaeological evidence suggests that varieties of
pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread types of
cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies whereby dry
carbohydrate-rich seed flours mixed with the available protein-rich
liquids, usually milk and eggs, were baked on hot stones or in
shallow earthenware pots over an open fire to form a nutritious and
highly palatable foodstuff. In the medieval and modern Christian
period, especially in Britain, pancakes were made to use up store
items prior to the period of Lent fasting beginning on Shrovetide.
The pancake's shape and structure varies worldwide. There are
numerous variations of them throughout Europe. In Germany, pancakes
can be made from potatoes. A crêpe is a Breton variety of thin

achieve a network of fine bubbles often compared to lace - a savory
variety made from buckwheat is usually known as a galette. The
Middle English word Pancake appears in an English culinary
manuscript from 1430. CrêpeFrench crêpes, popular in France,
Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, and Brazil (where they may be called
panquecas or crepes) are made from flour, milk, and eggs. They are
thin and are usually served with a large amount of sweet or savory
filling, ranging from fruit or ice cream, to seafood (in Brazil,
most usually ground meat). In Francophone Europe, crêpes are often
sold in special stands, along with Nutella for topping. French
crêpes have become very popular in many East Asian countries,
