Pancakes are a dish of thin dough fried in a frying pan. Pancakes appeared around the 10th century among the Slavs. However, culinary historians suggest that pancakes existed much earlier. The fact is that before the X century, pancakes and fritters were not particularly different. People did not have good utensils, so it became problematic to cook thin openwork pancakes
. Later, the utensils became more accessible and better, women learned to make thin pancakes. This probably happened already during Christianity in the country. In paganism, pancakes and fritters were one and the same.
