Today, September 26, 2013 is National Pancake Lovers Day. A pancake, also known as a hotcake or flapjack is a flat cake, often thin, flat, and round, prepared from a starch-based batter and cooked on a hot surface such as griddle or frying pan. Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies. William Shakespeare was a flapjack fan. He mentions pancakes in two of his plays: All's Well That Ends Well and As You Like It. How do you like your pancakes?
