I absolutely love pancakes!  How about you?
I will eat them but they're not my favorite. I make them for my kids though since they are so easy to fry up in a griddle or frying pan.
Do you usually make plain or do you add stuff like blueberries or chocolate chips, etc.?
Yes ocassionally I will use chocolate chips, or small chunks of sweetened chocolate, in my pancakes. My kids love that.
When did the pancake come into popularity?
Actually archaeologists have found evidence that pancakes were enjoyed by prehistoric societies!
Oh my gosh!  I had no idea!  Were they pretty much the same?
Pancake
A pancake (or hotcake, griddlecake, or flapjack) is a flat cake, often thin and round, prepared from a starch-based batter that may contain eggs, milk and butter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan, often frying with oil or butter. Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes were probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies.
The pancake's shape and structure varies worldwide. In Britain, pancakes are often unleavened and resemble a crêpe.
: "I got some children. I'm real real close with them. I lay in the bed with them, hold them, love on them. It really doesn't make sense to say [how many kids I have]. Not in a bad way, but it's not like the public will ever get to see my children, and if they do see them, they aren't going to know they're mine."
