Milkmade Ice Cream

What, you ask, does this have to do with pancakes? Well, let me tell you. While watching the Cooking Channel tonight, the Foodography show on ice cream profiled a company called Milkmade Ice Cream.

About this time of year all I can think about is snowboarding. With every good boarding trip comes is the obligatory stop at a diner, where I get a full stack of pancakes with plenty of real maple syrup. Here we have the second in our Ice Cream for Breakfast line, The Full Stack. It’s maple ice cream, with chunks of homemade spiced-walnut pancakes.

I say this is a "must try"!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads; some use a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Most pancakes are cooked one side on a griddle and flipped partway through to cook the other side. Depending on the region, pancakes may be served at any time, with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, fruit, syrup or meat.

Archaeological evidence suggests that varieties of pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread types of cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies whereby dry carbohydrate-rich seed flours mixed with the available protein-rich liquids, usually milk and eggs, were baked on hot stones or in shallow earthenware pots over an open fire to form a nutritious and highly palatable foodstuff.

In the medieval and modern Christian period, especially in Britain, pancakes were made to use up store items prior to the period of Lent fasting beginning on Shrovetide.

The pancake's shape and structure varies worldwide. There are numerous variations of them throughout Europe. A crêpe is a French variety of thin pancake cooked on one or both sides in a special crepe pan to achieve a network of fine bubbles often compared to lace - a savory variety made from buckwheat is usually known as a galette. In Germany, pancakes can be made from potatoes. In Italy they can be fried and stuffed with ricotta and chocolate into what is known as a cannoli.
