Pancakes had existed since the prehistoric times as archaeologists suggest, earliest versions are a mixture of dry seed flours and liquids such as milk and eggs. It was then baked on hot stones or shallow earthenware pots over an open fire. Since then it did not change a lot as it is using the same concept apart from adding some leavening agent.

Nowadays it is very convenient to make one as there are commercially ready mix available in the supermarket so you don’t have to worry about measuring them individually, the only downside is that it is expensive especially here in New Zealand. Usually a 400g of ready-made mix will cost you in between $4.00 to $8.00 depending on the brand and if you compare that to 5Kg flour which is only $8.00 it is considered a rip off. So we don’t usually buy the ready-made ones and make the mix on our own, trust me it is really easy all you need is flour, baking powder, milk, sugar and eggs.
