美食饗宴
One is soft, another is crunchy, and the other is thin.
People have been eating pancakes, or something similar, for thousands of years. Experts believe that simple, flat cakes were made 30,000 years ago. These early pancakes were probably made with flour that was mixed with water and then cooked on a hot rock. Thousands of years later, the Greeks and Romans made pancakes and sweetened them with honey. This simple food also led to other similar dishes, such as waffles and crepes.
Some historians believe that waffles began in ancient Greece as flat cakes called obelios. These flat cakes were made from batter that was cooked between two round iron plates over a fire. Over the centuries, with the original ingredients of flour, water, milk, and eggs, the recipe was later expanded to include sugar, butter, and cream. Around the 16th century, yeast was introduced to the recipe, which made waffles much thicker and crunchier.
