What Does it Mean when You Eat Your Pancakes?

It is no surprise that pancakes have long been a favorite breakfast staple for many cultures around the world. In fact, there is even some evidence that shows just how popular pancakes might have been in the Stone Age, much earlier than the modern version that we have today. In both the United States and Europe, people have enjoyed pancakes since at least the 17th century.

How does this tiny breakfast food come to be? The most likely story is that someone somewhere combined sweet potatoes with eggs, and other ingredients and made a dish which was originally called "waffle". This pancake history may have roots in Ireland where they used oats to make the waffles. Waffles were most likely considered a delicacy and were only offered in extremely expensive restaurants. They were so popular that they were hunted down and shared by various European families during the colonial period in America.

From here, the pancake spread quickly across the globe. When railroads were being developed, traveling from town to town was made easier because people could cook their meals. Pancakes became a favorite pastime, which was further popularized when motor vehicles were invented. With the advent of motor vehicles, people were no longer restricted to walking everywhere. They were able to travel back and forth between their homes, and the motorized train eventually replaced the old rickety wooden scaffold as the preferred means of travel.

By the time of the Industrial Revolution, the availability of steel wheels made traveling much easier and allowed for assembly line production. As manufacturing became more automated, the pancake recipe was bound to change. The ingredients for the classic pancake were sugar, yeast, flour, and butter. Today, however, cakes can contain whatever flavor or combination of flavors that a cook wants. Old pancake recipes included goose eggs or cottage cheese, and they were much less dense than today's pancakes.

One of the most notable early American pancake stories was the one that took place in Hutchinson, Kansas (now called Kansas), in 1849. Two teenage boys were competing with each other to build the biggest pancake, and to do it on the first try. As the story goes, the younger boy bit into the flatcake, and began to turn it into a "quench." The older boy quickly reeled back, but managed to keep the pancake out of his mouth, and ate it. To their embarrassment, the other boy took the flatcake to his grave, and it was later discovered that he had eaten an entire pancake!

Pancakes are delicious, fluffy, and have a long history. Over the years, they have come to symbolize good food and strong America. They are now very popular at weddings, pancake breakfasts, and even promotional events. A great question for any pancake lover is, what does it mean when you eat your pancakes? Is it just as important to use good pancake mix as it is to top them with toppings that you enjoy?

 

How To Make Delicious And Easy Chocolate Pancakes

Chocolate Pancakes Recipes is as easy to create as any pancakes recipe, and they are just as delicious! Top these delicious, light, and fluffy pancakes with chocolate syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or anything you enjoy most! These delicious pancakes can be served plain with lemon or blueberries, topped with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, drizzled with a little chocolate ganache or drizzled again with a small bit of dark chocolate. There is simply no end to the combinations that can be made when using chocolate! This makes these pancakes a favorite family meal and great Sunday morning breakfast.

The secret to making these delicious pancakes is simple: use unsweetened, high quality, all-grain flour. Unsweetened flour will not rise during the baking process, which makes these pancakes less than spectacular. All-grain flour is hard and grainy, which provides a distinct crunch when the pancakes are cooked and bakes. If you prefer to bake light, substitute half of the cooking oil with a few drops of your favorite flavor (sometimes it's fun to experiment!). You can also reduce the sugar in the batter by half.

When mixing the dry ingredients for your chocolate pancakes, use a non-stick skillet or hot kitchen spray to spread melted butter over the dry ingredients. After all of the dry ingredients have been combined, add the wet mixture and mix until just combined, then add the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Once the batter is smooth and fully blended, fold in the wet mixture and put the lid on the skillet or pot of hot water to bring the batter to a boil.

Once at a medium heat, turn the burner on to medium heat, and cook the pancakes on an unheated rack until the chocolate chips are liquefied and they start to look like caramel balls. You should notice that the tops of the pancakes begin to bubble, which means they are done! Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. While the pancakes cool, carefully lift one edge of each pancake and turn over so that both sides cook simultaneously. Once both sides are cooked evenly, remove from heat and allow to cool.

Now that your chocolate pancakes are cooled, it's time to decorate them! To make a more unique design, moisten one end of a pancake with milk and place it on top of a Graham cracker shell. Do the same to the other end and slip it under the Graham cracker. You can also decorate the pancakes with chocolate chips, but I've found that canned chip dip works better. If you're not sure how to make your own chip dip, feel free to visit a store or the web to find an easy-to-store chip mixes.

To finish your chocolate pancakes, spoon the warm chocolate syrup (or drizzles if using syrup) over each one. The syrup will help make the pancakes taste delicious, but don't overdo it! Maintain a steady stream of syrup on top of the pancakes until they are completely dry. Then, slice the pancakes into quarters and serve warm. Before serving, cover the pancakes in chocolate syrup and let set for about 15 minutes so the chocolate begins to harden.

Another option for finishing off your delicious pancakes is to drizzle some warm, powdered sugar over the top. If you're trying to conserve sugar, use light-colored or white powdered sugar. If you prefer a richer taste, use brown sugar instead. Once the pancakes are fluffy and sugar-free, use a spatula to remove them from the heated waffle maker and warm them to serve.

A chocolate pancake lover must have at least one secret recipe for chocolate cake. I tend to steer away from store bought chocolate pancakes because they tend to lack flavor, but homemade ones really deliver. Try baking your own chocolate cake batter so that you can control the flavor and sweetness. You can also add flavorings such as canned or fresh fruit and even nuts if you prefer a different taste. As you can see, there are many ways to spruce up your basic chocolate pancakes.

One way that we have managed to incorporate pancakes into our eating plan without getting much attention is through the pineapple twist.

Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes makes the classic dessert into a tasty breakfast (which tastes just like dessert). Each pancake consists of a large bowl of sweetened pineapple that is drizzled with a rich syrup. Then brown sugar and dark rum are added to create a tropical flavor for the pancakes. To add some variation to this recipe, we did not use all of the syrup but instead used half of it. As with all pineapple desserts, it is best to use unsweetened pineapple juice for the topping. This allows you to eliminate the possibility of additional sugars making your pancakes too sweet.

After completing two to three rounds of pancakes, take your sweetener and stir it into the pancake batter. This will lighten up the pancake so that it can easily mix into the batter. Next, place a small piece of aluminum foil on your large bowl. Place your pancakes onto the foil and allow them to cool for about five minutes. During this time you can also clean the crepes in the pan or your large bowl with a whisk.

Once your pancakes are cool, it is time to prepare them. Using a saucepan, heat your medium heat and add one tablespoon of margarine. Once your pancakes have finished baking, remove them from their baking sheets and place them on your lined serving platter. If desired, drizzle some light-colored icing over your pancakes, using a spatula to ensure even coverage.

Now that your pancakes are cooled and prepared, you are ready to enjoy! Flip each pancake over and serve with a sugar coated pineapple ring, and drizzle some more light-colored icing over top. Serve immediately or cover in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
