The history and culture of pancakes

Legend has it that pancakes were invented by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei at first. Being outnumbered, they are often hunted by Cao Bing. He was once surrounded by Yihe River and Huihe River, and all his cooking utensils were lost. However, the soldiers are hungry and sleepy. They can't cook. Zhuge Liang asked the cook to use water and corn flour (it should be other grains, and corn was not introduced to China from America during the Three Kingdoms period) to make slurry, light the fire gold (palace), and spread the rice slurry with wooden sticks. Since then, pancakes have spread in Yimeng and even Shandong.

Pancake, one of the traditional staple foods in northern China, originated in Shandong. Pancakes are widely distributed in China, mainly in Linyi, Jinan, Laiwu, Tai 'an, Zaozhuang, Zibo, Jining, Heze, Rizhao, Weifang, Qingdao, Tengzhou, Qufu, Lianyungang and Xuzhou in Jiangsu, or some counties and cities. Others are in three northeastern provinces, Hebei Province, Beijing, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, northern Jiangsu, and some areas in Zhejiang, Yunnan and Shaanxi. Of course, there are many kinds and classifications of pancakes, so there is a lot of knowledge about making pancakes.
