Did you know pancakes are one of the oldest dishes in the world?

This amazing meal can be ready in just 15 to 20 minutes.

Knowing the exact diet of our ancient ancestors can be difficult, but according to research conducted by scientists, our predecessors around 30,000 years ago enjoyed this amazing delicacy.

Pancakes can be served as breakfast, lunch, and supper as well. It is one of the most healthy and nutritious meals one can come by.
