Pancake is a western breakfast, which is easy to prepare and is a delicious and nutritious meal. The American pancakes are the same as the French crepes, but they are thicker because they contain yeast, an ingredient that makes the dough rise, and its texture is spongier. The pancakes can be sweet or savory, depending on the time or your taste. The basic ingredients of a healthy pancake recipe are milk, flour, egg, butter, sugar, and yeast. You can accompany them with an infinite number of combinations, chocolate, honey, cream, raspberries, bananas, nuts, or if you prefer, you can give it a savory touch.
