From the literal meaning of pancake, we can know that pancakes are a kind of cake made from pan, which can be said to be a daily dish in European and American countries.


Low gluten flour, eggs and milk are the three key ingredients for making pancakes. Adding other ingredients such as sugar powder can make a smooth batter without dough fermentation. Before cooking, wipe the pan surface evenly with a little cream on the dining paper. When the pan surface emits a little white smoke, pour the batter in the center, fry it slowly over a low heat, turn it over and fry it for ten seconds.


Usually, the first pancake is easy to produce patterns on the surface of the pancake due to uneven oil distribution on the pan surface. After the second pancake, it is easier to fry a beautiful color. General Pancakes are about 8-10 cm in diameter.


The most common way to eat pancakes is to add a piece of cream and a large amount of honey or maple syrup. You can also spread jam, add fruit, ice cream, or even eat them with salty food.


In fact, there are Pancake Days in other European countries, the United States and Australia, but they are especially popular in the United Kingdom. A "Pancake Race" will be held on the day. Participants need to hold a frying pan while running and throwing pancakes. On the Pancake Day in February 2019, Prince William and Princess Kate of the United Kingdom also participated in this interesting activity.
