What is pancake?

A pancake is a flat cake, often thin and round, made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and sometimes leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda. It is cooked on a hot surface, typically a griddle or frying pan, until golden brown and cooked through.

Pancakes can be enjoyed in a variety of ways:

* Plain: Just with butter and syrup.

* Topped: With fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, whipped cream, or other toppings.

* Savory: With savory ingredients like cheese, herbs, vegetables, or meats.

* Stacked: In a stack with butter and syrup, often called a "pancake stack."

Pancakes are a popular breakfast food, but can be enjoyed at any time of day. They are also a versatile ingredient, used in desserts, snacks, and even main dishes.
