FAQ
How many plants are in Pancakes?
Pancakes contain 1 distinct plant — the lemon named above. Sundew counts every distinct plant on your plate, so a plate of pancakes adds 1 toward your weekly plant variety, and every topping you add on top of that counts too.
What goes into Pancakes?
Pancakes bring their 1 named plant together with plain flour, egg, milk, butter, and sugar. None of those count toward plant variety — flour is a refined grain, and the rest aren't plants at all — so this dish stands at 1 plant toward your weekly 30. Add fruit on top and the count goes up with it.
What is a pancake?
A pancake is a flat cake cooked in a pan from a simple batter of flour, egg and milk. British pancakes are thin and wide, traditionally served rolled or folded with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sugar — which is where the lemon in this dish's plant count comes from.
What is the difference between American pancakes and British pancakes?
American pancakes are small, thick and fluffy, leavened with a raising agent and usually served in a stack with butter and syrup. British pancakes are thin and wide, closer to a French crêpe, and are rolled or folded with lemon and sugar. Both begin from the same basic batter.
When is Pancake Day?
Pancake Day is Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the last day before Lent. It moves with Easter each year, so it lands somewhere between early February and early March. Pancakes became the tradition because they used up the eggs, milk and butter in the house before Lent began.
Which rainbow colour groups do Pancakes hit?
Pancakes reach 1 of Sundew's 6 colour groups: yellow, from the lemon. Topping them with berries, sliced banana, or apple would bring further colour groups to the plate.
