Whether summer or winter, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Whether it's simple (a coffee and a toast, ideal to start a good day at work) or in a slightly more elaborate form (a good brunch with bacon, fruit juice, omelet and... pancakes), it's the meals I never skip!
We easily swap our Breton pancakes for these thick pancakes typical of American breakfasts. But where do pancakes really come from? Already etymologically, the word “pancake” is composed of two words “pan” (pan) and “cake” (cake).
There is little left to the imagination to understand what it is. This delicious pastry was actually brought to the United States by immigrants from the German states and the Netherlands around the 18th century.
If the pancake has become such an institution, it is because it is made from very simple ingredients and can be cooked quickly. Good news:you can eat it for breakfast, but also as a snack or even at a pancake party in the evening, as a complete meal.
As for the accompaniment, we will of course first think of the traditional maple syrup, but we can also try coconut blossom sugar, honey, chocolate or Nocciolata without milk...
And in a savory version:bacon, charcuterie or fish (smoked salmon and vegan cheese? Yum!). That's what's great about pancakes:like our crepes, they come in a thousand and one flavors.
