Before we head into the kitchen, it's interesting to know that pancakes are one of the oldest foods in the world. Similar versions have been prepared in different cultures for centuries: the French call them crêpes, in the United States they're known as pancakes, and in Russia as blinis.
Originally, pancakes were made simply by mixing flour, water, and some type of fat or milk. The fluffy texture we know today is achieved thanks to the addition of baking powder and whipping techniques that trap air in the batter.
