A pancake is a thin, flat, round cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Traditionally they are tossed, or flipped over, in the frying pan so that both sides are cooked. They can be served at any time with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, fruit or simply with sugar and lemon. In Britain, they are associated with Shrove Tuesday, commonly known as Pancake Day.
眾所周知，圓而平的煎餅是由人們把麵糊放在平底鍋 griddle 或煎鍋 frying pan 上攤至而成的。煎餅可以被 toss 拋起來，然後 flip over 翻面，這樣煎餅兩面都可以均勻受熱。煎餅的口味多種多樣，常見的有在餅面上加果醬、水果或糖和檸檬水。Shrove Tuesday 「懺悔星期二」是基督徒思罪懺悔的節日，在英國俗稱為 Pancake Day 「煎餅節」。
