Pancake is a special food in Shandong Province. Different regions have different practices. Which place is the most authentic?

Pancakes have a long history, dating back to the Three Kingdoms period. Traditional pancake making requires several special tools: stone mill, nuts, fried dough and firewood. Firstly, the mixture of wheat, corn and grain is ground into batter with a stone mill. Then, cook the tobacco seeds and pour a spoonful of batter on them with a spoon. Xunzi is a kind of equipment for making cakes. It is made of pig iron, with a slightly raised ring core and three legs. Straw burns at the bottom. Xunzi first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Kun marked "gradual maturity" in the book "One's Ruler and One's Ruler".

Lynx is another name for batter, that is, confusing the batter on boiling tobacco. The pancakes in Linyi, especially those in Yishui, are the most famous and authentic. Generally speaking, in Yishui, pancakes are made of corn or wheat flour or their combination. In rural areas, most people bake pancakes at home, and they are also sold in natural markets.

In the Qing Dynasty, Pu Songling's "Cake Fu" said: "The moon is full, as big as a gong, as thin as paper in a stream, and as colorful as a yellow crane." The description is more appropriate, but ... the raw materials of this pancake are only five different coarse grains: rice, corn, millet phone, soybean and sorghum rice. All seasonings and additives are not added,

No additives. However, pancakes can be stored for a long time at room temperature and are not easy to deteriorate. The secret is that the materials used are very solid, and when they are made, they are spread very thin to remove most of the water. In the past, pancakes were an essential food crop for going out for a long trip. You can feel the elasticity of pancakes with your hands, or if you have to do something with your hands. In addition, eating pancakes can exercise the masseter muscles in the mouth. Besides, Yishui people usually use pancakes to roll other cooked dishes, or radish pickles or shallots, which are very delicious, dear ~
