People
have been eating pancake for a very long time. According to Alan Davidson, in
the Oxford Companion to Food (Oxford University Press, Oxford: 1999), the first
mention of anything other than just a bread baked on a griddle is in Apicius,
who talks about cakes from a batter of eggs, milk, water and flour.
These cakes
were fried and served with both pepper and honey. An English culinary
manuscript from the early 15th century mentions pancakes in a way that implies
that the term was already an established one, but references to “pancakes” are
Foodtimeline.org notes that
pancakes became especially popular for Shrove Tuesday in European countries
where Catholicism predominated. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent begins.
Since consumption of both fat and eggs was forbidden by the Catholic Church
during the forty days of Lent, Shrove Tuesday became an occasion to use up
one’s stores of both items. In England during the medieval era, the custom of
Shrove Tuesday pancake races began. The race still held in Olney is said to
have been held almost annually for more than five hundred years.
You
can make a classic breakfast food taste like dessert with bananas and chocolate
syrup.
