About Potato pancakes
The pancake is a thin, flat, round cake cooked on a hot griddle or skillet from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a leavening agent, then flipped partway through to brown both sides. A breakfast favorite around the world, it appears in countless forms, from fluffy American stacks and thin French crepes to Russian blini and savory versions across many cultures. Fluffy pancakes are typically served in a stack topped with butter and maple syrup, along with fruit, chocolate chips, whipped cream, or honey.
Pancakes provide carbohydrates for energy along with some protein and calcium from the eggs and milk, and whole-grain or added-fruit versions boost their fiber. They are just as good rolled around sweet or savory fillings, and the batter comes together quickly for an easy homemade meal. A properly heated griddle and a gentle hand give the lightest results. Choose fresh ingredients or a quality mix, and cook pancakes just before serving, since they are at their best hot off the griddle.
