The name pancake itself only started in the 15th century but became popular in the 19th century, as reported by kateskitchenkc.com. Meanwhile, in Europe, pancakes are known to have been first introduced in the 1430s and became a typical food of Eastern European society.

In addition, there is a day called Shrove Tuesday that is commemorated as Pancake Day. This pancake day is celebrated during the period of Lent. This is because during that time, people were forbidden from consuming animal products such as milk, butter, and eggs. That's why they creatively combine these ingredients to make pancake dishes.
