National Pancake Day

Pancakes are a type of flat, round cake made from a batter consisting of flour, eggs, milk, and a leavening agent such as baking powder or baking soda. The batter is typically poured onto a hot, greased griddle or frying pan and cooked until golden brown on both sides. Pancakes are a popular breakfast food in many parts of the world and can be served with a variety of toppings such as butter, syrup, jam, fruit, and whipped cream. In some countries, pancakes may be made with different ingredients or have different names. For example, in France, pancakes are known as crepes and are often filled with savory or sweet fillings. In Japan, a similar dish called okonomiyaki is made with cabbage, seafood, and other ingredients.
