Weekends were made for pancakes! Words to live by in my home. I love working with pancake batters. This simple quick bread hails from practically every region and culture of the world. From the Wild West American Flapjacks and the upper echelon of fruit filled French Crepes, to the ultra - light Russian Blini; the pancake has stood the test of time. The Roman "Alita Dolcia" (Latin for "another sweet") is mentioned in Apicius, an ancient Roman Cookbook. Only two copies of this cookbook, formally entitled De Re Coquinaria, are known to exist. A 9th century copy of the original 2nd century cookery manual, now resides in the Rare Book Collection at The New York Academy of Medicine's Library. The other 9th century copy resides in the Vatican library. The Acadamy's is older by a few years making it one of the worlds oldest cookbook. The pancakes as we know it today originated in Medieval Europe. You can have them sweet or savory by adding many different ingredients such as fruits, bacon, cheese, sour cream and chives. In addition to spices such as allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and extracts such as vanilla, almond, and peppermint. Whatever your heart desires, and this morning my heart desired chocolate!
