The History of Pancakes
Pancakes, a beloved breakfast staple, are a versatile and timeless dish enjoyed by people across the globe. At their core, pancakes consist of a simple batter typically made from a mixture of flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder, although variations abound. The history of pancakes dates back centuries, with variations appearing in various cultures.
Ancient Greeks and Romans had their versions, while the Elizabethans in England enjoyed them flavoured with spices, fruits, and even rosewater. The popularity of pancakes in the morning can be attributed to their quick and straightforward preparation, making them an accessible choice for busy mornings.
Their widespread appeal lies in the ability to customize them with an array of toppings like syrup, fruits, or whipped cream, catering to diverse tastes. The comforting aroma of pancakes sizzling on a griddle and their warm, fluffy texture contribute to the enduring charm of this breakfast classic, making them a cherished and culturally significant morning food worldwide.

Ingredient Substitutions
- Almond Flour: You can make pancakes with other flours like regular wheat flour or coconut flour, however the measurements and texture will be different and the texture.
- Eggs: Substitute with flax egg if you are vegan.
- Blueberries: You can use any berry you like. You can even substitute the berries out for chocolate chips! Or just have plain pancakes!
- Baking Powder: I recommend using baking powder as this is going to help your pancakes rise and become more fluffy. Because almond flour is a very dense flour, baking powder will help improve the pancake texture.
- Vanilla Extract: If you can, use natural vanilla extract as it tastes so much better. This is a key ingredient as it will help mask any cannabis taste.
- Maple Syrup: The best maple syrup is natural maple syrup with no added sugars or filler ingredients. I love using Canadian maple syrup - but that might be biased since I’m Canadian :) For keto substitutions, look for a maple syrup that is made with monkfruit/erythritol instead.
- Cannabis Coconut Oil: You can substitute coconut oil with MCT oil or even infused olive oil.
TIPS & TRICKS
- If you’re planning to mix the batter by hand, make sure you whisk it well! A smoother battery will create a more fluffy and even pancake.
- When adding the blueberries to your batter, be careful not to break them. The blueberries will naturally “explode” a little when you’re cooking them on the hot pan.
- Depending on how good your non-stick pan is, you might not even need to add any oil to the pan. I find that if you add too much oil, the pancake can get too soggy.
- I recommend putting the cooked pancakes onto a wired cooling tray. This will prevent any condensation build up at the bottom of the pancake before plating.
