About this Recipe
A pancake is a flat, often thin and round cake made from a starch- based batter that may include eggs, milk, and butter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan, often with oil or butter. It's a kind of batter bread.
The ancient Greeks and Romans ate honey-sweetened pancakes; the Elizabethans ate spiced pancakes with rosewater, sherry, and apples. They were traditionally consumed in large quantities on Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, a day of feasting and revelry preceding the start of Lent.
There are two types of bran, one is an oat bran and another one is wheat bran. They come from the outer husk of the oat and bran. If you find them in your supermarket, just make sure you stock them. they will be available in the cereal section of your supermarket.
