Before we get to the list, how about a little history so you know why we have a special day just for pancakes.

There is archaeological evidence that suggests that pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread breakfast food eaten in prehistoric societies. According to National Geographic, the ancient Greeks and Romans ate pancakes sweetened with honey and the Elizabethans ate them flavored with spices, rosewater, sherry, and apples.

Pancakes are also known as flapjacks or hotcakes.
