Oh Yum! It is National Pancake Week


Yum! Pancakes!!

By Chef Terry

Pancake Week is grounded in ancient tradition. During the Middle Ages, it was common practice to prepare for Lent by purging the pantry of luxurious foods such as eggs, butter, and milk. These ingredients often became big batches of pancakes. To this day, many communities around the world feast on pancakes all the way through Shrove Tuesday--also known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras--before the season of moderation begins on Ash Wednesday. In fact, another name for Fat Tuesday is Pancake Day. [Source: All Recipes.]

There are two really important keys in making great pancakes:

Mixing the batter properly, and
Making sure your grill is hot!

Allrecipes.com has over 400 pancake recipes and I am sure you have a few of your own that are your favorites. I try to have Blueberry Pancakes once every two weeks at Silver Diner with egg whites and crispy bacon. Then every couple months I’ll have Pecan Pancakes.

Granny liked making pancakes with different fruit topping: strawberries; raspberries; blackberries, peaches, cooked apples; banana; or whatever fresh fruit was available. She also shared some home make preserves and jellies along with honey.
