A Taste of Pancakes across the Planet
—Molly Leonard
In a great many regions of the world, you'll be sure to find pancakes on the menu. Pancakes are any kind of round, flat cake made from cooked batter; there are numerous varieties, which can be sweet, savory, or both. The ingredients in pancakes also differ from region to region and can include wheat, rice, corn, and even potatoes.
Perhaps the best-known European pancakes are crepes. A French treat, crepes are made by pouring batter into a wide, flat pan and smoothing it out into a thin disc. The resulting pancake can be folded and filled with any number of fillings like fruit, cheese, chocolate, or ice cream. Crepes are served as either an afternoon snack or an evening dessert.
For Canadians and Americans, pancakes are typically a breakfast dish. They are much thicker than crepes, served hot with butter and maple syrup on top. Also known as flapjacks or hotcakes, they are often eaten with a side of eggs and bacon.
The Russian blin is a snack that has become popular throughout Eastern Europe. Traditionally, blini are made from buckwheat. Like crepes, blini are thin and can be folded and filled or topped with sour cream, smoked salmon, or caviar.
世界各地好吃的鬆餅
在世界許多地方，你一定可以在菜單上找到鬆餅。鬆餅是任何一種用煮過的麵糊做成的圓扁形糕餅；種類繁多，可以是甜的、鹹的，或者兩者兼具。鬆餅的原料也因地而異，可能包括小麥、米、玉米，甚至馬鈴薯。
或許最廣為人知的歐洲鬆餅是可麗餅。可麗餅是一種法式甜點，作法是將麵糊倒入一個寬廣扁平的平底鍋然後將麵糊抹成薄薄的圓盤狀。完成的鬆餅可以摺起來並裝入水果、起司、巧克力或冰淇淋之類的餡料，數量不拘。可麗餅可以當作下午茶點心或晚上的甜點。
對加拿大人和美國人來說，鬆餅通常是早餐菜色。它們比可麗餅厚得多，上面覆蓋奶油和楓糖漿熱騰騰上桌。它們又稱為flapjacks或hotcakes，常配蛋和培根一起食用。
俄國布利尼是一種在東歐各地變得受歡迎的點心。布利尼傳統上由蕎麥製成。就像可麗餅一樣，布利尼薄薄的，可以摺起來並加入餡料，或者在上面加上酸奶、煙燻鮭魚或魚子醬。 |
