According to scientists, pancakes were cooked back in the Stone Age, but the composition and taste were somewhat different from the modern version. The ancient Greeks and Romans used wheat flour, olive oil and honey. Subsequently, the British decided to add spices and fruits to improve the taste and spice it up.

For the first time the word “pancake” appeared in English in the 4th century, but it became widespread only after 15 centuries. There are a huge number of synonyms. For cooks, they are symbols of various dishes. In almost every national cuisine you can find one of the variations.

In the United States of America, pancakes with blueberries have long been prepared. Vitamin-rich berries have become a wonderful addition that harmoniously combines with a sweetish taste. In a few minutes you can prepare a delicious breakfast, which is considered one of the most popular in the country.
