Pancakes, known in many Latin American countries as panqueques or simply tortitas, are a traditional preparation with roots in American and European cuisine. Their origin dates back to ancient times, when they were made with basic ingredients like flour, eggs, and milk. In different Latin American countries, although the name varies, the essence of the pancake as a breakfast or snack is very popular. For example, in Mexico they are commonly known as hotcakes, while in Argentina and Chile they are called panqueques. These variants incorporate local ingredients and specific techniques that adapt the original recipe to different tastes and textures.
Over time, pancakes have been reinterpreted in multiple forms. A healthy version takes center stage by using whole wheat flour and buttermilk, ingredients that provide a unique flavor and nutritional benefits that enrich this classic, simple, and quick cuisine.
