PANCAKE CAKE WITH BANANA CHOCOLATE FILLING | ALTERNATIVE VEGAN RECIPE INCLUDED | NOVEMBER MENU


WIKI NOTE: The Ancient Greeks made pancakes called τηγανίτης (tēganitēs), deriving from τάγηνον (tagēnon), "frying pan". The earliest attested references to tagenias are in the works of the 5th-century BC poets Cratinus and Magnes. Tagenites were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk, and were served for breakfast. The Middle English word pancake appears in English in the 15th century.
