Pancakes have a rich history dating back to ancient Greece, where they were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk. Over time, variations emerged across the globe, from the French crepes to the American buttermilk pancakes. In the 15th century, English chef John Murrell popularized the modern pancake. Today, they are a beloved breakfast staple worldwide. Notable variations include the Japanese okonomiyaki and the Dutch poffertjes.
