Pancakes are a very ancient Slavic dish. The first mentions of pancakes appeared in paganism. In ancient times, pancakes were a symbol of the Pancake Day ritual. For pagans, this holiday was important, as it promised a good harvest.
To achieve an abundant harvest, it was necessary to placate the gods. For this reason, the Slavs baked pancakes and brought them as a gift to the goddess Lada.
