The table is set, the batter is mixed, the griddle is hot, the butter and syrup are ready and so is everyone, ready to celebrate National Pancake Day today.

Did you know that there is evidence that suggests that pancakes date back a long way. If you were a caveman, there's a chance that you probably started your day with a helping of pancakes.

According to wikipedia.com, the ancient Greeks and Romans ate pancakes, sweetened with honey; the Elizabethans ate them flavored with spices, rosewater, sherry, and apples.

Pancakes are also known as flapjacks or hotcakes.
