Pancake Recipes

Whether you call them pancake recipes, griddle cakes, hot cakes, or flap jacks, they're all a favorite breakfast treat. Pancakes are simply made by spooning a thin batter onto a hot cooking surface where it is cooked until the flat, round cakes are golden brown. They may also be baked, which creates a light, fluffy treat.

Varying forms of griddle cakes are found all over the world, from the very thin, flour-based French crepes to latkes, the European potato pancakes. English Yorkshire pudding is even a form of baked pancake. Traditional American pancakes contain flour, milk, eggs, and baking powder, but there are dozens of variations. Many of the European precursors to American pancake recipes omit the rising agent, creating a denser, flatter result. Whatever the style, its simple nature makes it ideal for experimentating with the thousands of pancake recipes in the world.

Americans generally view pancake recipes as a breakfast food, but they are found in different meals across the world. Dessert pancakes are often served with fruit, sweet fillings, or custards. Dinner pancakes are combined with savory fare for a delicious side dish or the basis of a succulent main dish.

Whatever meal you choose for enjoying your hot cakes, you will find a great selection of classic and unique pancake recipes right here.
