Pete's scratch pancakes have an interesting history that dates back to unique family traditions in the southern United States. They are named for the characteristic marks they leave on the griddle during cooking, known as "scratches." In different Latin American countries, similar dishes have various names: in Mexico they are known as "hotcakes," in Argentina as "pancakes," and in Colombia also as "pancakes" or "crepes," depending on the texture and thickness. This recipe has been adapted over time, incorporating simple ingredients that result in the fluffy, tall texture that characterizes this delight.
This preparation has become a classic breakfast for many families and is ideal to enjoy on rest days. Its versatility allows it to be paired with fruits, honey, syrups, or butter, making every bite a special experience.
