Best Recipes for National Pancake Day

What is it about pancakes that make them so yummy and delish? And why do they feel like a treat no matter how much you eat them?

According to National Geographic, pancakes have been around since prehistoric times:

“Analyses of starch grains on 30,000-year-old grinding tools suggest that Stone Age cooks were making flour out of cattails and ferns—which, researchers guess, was likely mixed with water and baked on a hot, possibly greased, rock. The result may have been more akin to hardtack than the modern crepe, hotcake, or flapjack, but the idea was the same: a flat cake, made from batter and fried.”

While pancakes are extremely popular here in the U.S., there are a variety of other types of pancakes all over the world:

• Crepe thin pancakes with lemon and sugar in England.
• Pikelets in Australia
• Blini or blitz pancakes in Eastern Europe
• Savory kimchi pancakes from Korea
