Pancakes are such a sweet, soft, delicious delicacy that is enjoyed all around the world. Some say the Romans and Greeks were the first people to taste this delicacy while others argue that this beauty has an origin in France but some contemplate that Americans might be the ones who got to enjoy it first.
