Morning pancakes are perfect for satisfying a big appetite. This colorful, circular dessert is the ideal way to start a dinner party, as it brings everyone together at the table. While milk and whey are standard pancake ingredients, kefir and other dairy products aren’t often utilized. For today’s dish, try yogurt pancakes; they’re delicious and nutritious, just like pancakes prepared with any other dairy. Because yogurt pancakes are soft, elastic, and easy to fill, they pair wonderfully with honey, jam, or condensed milk.
Origins of Pancakes
The ancient Egyptians, in the fifth century BC, made sour cakes that were similar to modern-day pancakes but baked on stones. Additionally, ancient Chinese cuisine often featured small filled rice cakes. The term “pancake” originates from the Ukrainian word “pani” because flour was traditionally ground from grains on a stone millstone-equipped “mlyny” (Russian mill). A contemporary Slavic staple, pancakes come in a plethora of variants.
