They give details of pancakes made everywhere, their recipe ingredients - the flours, milk, raising ingredients and serving history. Also their very many different naming details, their histories and background. So fascinating and very comprehensive, do look them up to discover all about pancakes.
There is also good pancake coverage in my copy of The Concise Larousse Gastronomique - ISBN 0-600-60009-2 on Page 386 to 387 where the heading is "Crepe", the French pancake. I remember reading about crepe in The Bobbsey Twins Annual from childhood's balmy days, when the Twins ate them with gooseberry jam on a moonlit beach one summer holiday in France! How I longed for the same experience myself! I had to wait until my late twenties to enjoy these crepe, when we enjoyed them, one summer holiday, in the South of France, and oh boy, were they good! They were worth waiting for!!!
So, here's me cooking my pancakes yesterday, which was great fun -
getting going!
and
finishing off!
I do hope you enjoyed your pancakes, they are so delicious!
