my favorite thing in the world is how every single human culture, together or independently, created its own version of Pancake. everyone took one look at frying pans and were like “holy shit i have the BEST idea”
i’m not even exaggerating not even a itty teeny bit

Latkes (Ashkenazi Jewish), Blini (Russian/Ukrainian), Injera (Horn of Africa), Kabalagala (Ugandan banana pancakes), Arepas (Colombian/Venezuelan), Cachapas (also Venezuelan/Colombian), Qatayef (Middle Eastern)

Buchimgae (Korean pancake), Cong you bing (Chinese scallion pancake), Okonomiyaki (Japan), oh crap I hit photo limit
WAIT I GOT MORE


Dosa (Indian), Apam balik (Southeast Asia), Nordic pancakes (Norway, Sweden), Poffertjes (Netherlands), Dutch baby pancake (U.S.), Johnny/Hoecakes (Indigenous North America), Crumpets (U.K.), Souffle pancakes (Japanese)
some of these recipes go back a thousand years, some are only a few decades old, wikipedia has like a hundred more entries, PANCAKES ARE THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE, PANCAKES ARE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF EXISTENCE
British people hate this post more than they hate spider rain
U add too much water to dough and suddenly it’s batter and oh fuck this is never gonna bake…. maybe if we put a really thin layer down? It’ll cook?
What have i created
