今日小常识

　　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.

　　众所周知，圆而平的煎饼是由人把面糊放在平底锅 griddle 或煎锅 frying pan 上摊制而成的。煎饼可以被 toss 抛起来，然后 flip over 翻面，这样煎饼两面都可以均匀受热。煎饼的口味多种多样，常见的有在饼面上加果酱、水果或糖和柠檬水。
