Tuesday, March 5th is International Pancake Day! I was so happy to hear about it. After all, it’s my favorite breakfast food and I think every day should be Pancake Day. So let’s learn a little about pancakes around the world and see how we can make pancakes at home:

The pancakes we know today are American pancakes — Round fluffy, and usually eaten with maple syrup. Did you know that there are different kinds of pancakes in different countries?

In France, for Example as some of you know, pancakes are called crêpes. Crêpes are thinner than American pancakes and people can eat them with sweet or salty Filling

In Sweden, there is a special way of making and eating pancakes — it’s called plättar and it’s basically a large number of very small pancakes cooked together on a special Pan Plättar with Powdered sugar is a very popular Snack in Sweden.

There is even a Greek (יווני) pancake — it’s called Tiganites and it’s made with vanilla yogurt and eaten with honey. That sounds delicious!

I could keep talking about the pancakes of the world forever but that would just make me (and you) hungry. So how about we learn to make some pancakes on our own?

What do we do?
1 cup milk
1 egg
1.5 tablespoons oil
1.5 tablespoons white sugar

1. Mix everything together in a bowl
2. Use a Ladle to Pour some of the mix into a pan
3. Wait until you see Bubbles and then flip the pancake
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you’re done
5. Eat with maple or chocolate syrup!
