Delicious & Lovely Pancakes

Description:-

Pancakes is a dish that is loved by people of all ages, from Children to Adult and even the Old.

It is a delicious way to enjoy your breakfast.

Pancakes with Butter or Strawberries on top is just heavenly.

History:-

According to Wikipedia-

The Ancient Greeks made pancakes called τηγανίτης (tēganitēs), ταγηνίτης (tagēnitēs) or ταγηνίας (tagēnias), all words deriving from τάγηνον (tagēnon), "frying pan". The earliest attested references on tagenias are in the works of the 5th century BC poets Cratinus and Magnes. Tagenites were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk, and were served for breakfast. Another kind of pancake was σταιτίτης (staititēs), from σταίτινος (staitinos), "of flour or dough of spelt", derived from σταῖς (stais), "flour of spelt". Athenaeus mentions, in his Deipnosophistae, staititas topped with honey, sesame, and cheese. The Middle English word Pancake appears in English in the 15th century.
The Ancient Romans called their fried concoctions "alia dulcia", which was Latin for "other sweets". These were much different from what are known as pancakes today.

Ingredients:-

• 1 cup All Purpose Flour

3. Take another Bowl and mix the Egg, Milk and Vegetable Oil. Mix it well. This is the Wet Mixture.
4. The two separate mixtures are made to prevent trouble of mixing all the ingredients together.
5. Then make a well in the Dry Mixture and add the Wet Mixture to it.
6. Mix it well. Make sure there are no Clumps in the Mixture.
7. Heat a Griddle or a Pan over a medium flame.
