This batter-made breakfast item, also known as Johnnycakes, griddle cakes, or hotcakes, dates back more than 30,000 years. In fact, it may be the oldest breakfast food in history.
When revelers would dine before fasting, it became a traditional part of Fat Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday) celebrations. They still do! The thin cakes can be rolled and filled with fruit or other fillings. They're usually stacked and drizzled with flavored syrup, but not always.
Topping, add fruit, nuts, or whipped topping. While mostly a breakfast dish, pancakes, ham, hashbrowns, and other morning offerings also make a delectable supper. In several households, breakfast for dinner is a welcome change of pace.
