Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following ultra-thin French pancake concoctions gets the taste buds foaming when served with sweet or savory fillings?

Answer: Crêpes

Crêpes are a popular food in France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Canada. They are made with eggs, flour, and milk, and are extremely thin and yummy. They can be served with all kinds of toppings such as whipped cream, ice-cream, fruits, syrup, and in some parts of Europe, a strange chocolate-nutty paste called nutella.
2. In the United States, which pancakes, named for money, are served up often five to ten on a plate?

Answer: Silver Dollar Pancakes

Silver Dollar Pancakes are about the same size as a pre-1979 U.S. silver coin. The ingredients of these bite-size portions include the following:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Oil
3. During what day of the year would you have to visit England to participate in the annual Pancake Races?

Answer: Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday, better known as "Pancake Day", is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday - the last day before the beginning of Lent. In the past on Shrove Tuesday, townspeople gathered for feasting before the season of fasting began. Milks, eggs, and sugar were usually on the menu, and pancakes were a common food. Villages all over the British Isles and former colonies still hold pancake races, whose tradition goes back to the early 15th century.
4. This pudding pancake is a favorite amongst the fan of the British roast beef dinner. Which relative of the pancake is served up baked instead of fried?

Answer: Yorkshire Pudding

Yorkshire puddings come from the Northern part of England, and are usually served with gravy as part of the traditional British roast dinner. A thin batter (one-third cup milk, one third cup flour, and one egg) is poured into baking pans or muffin tins and baked in the oven. According to a 2008 ruling by the Royal Society of Chemistry, "A Yorkshire pudding isn't a Yorkshire pudding if it is less than four inches tall". Who said ALL pancakes had to be flat?
5. Which type of pancakes became popular amongst pioneers and prospectors? They can be found on most breakfast menus in Alaska today.

Answer: Sourdough Pancakes

Sourdough Pancakes were often a staple of early pioneers, seeing as a pot of sourdough could last indefinitely needing only flour and water to replenish it. Cooks would not have to purchase yeast in order to cook up the starter batter.
6. William Shakespeare referred to pancakes in which of his plays that featured the characters Bertram, Lavatch, Helena, and Parolles?

Answer: All's Well that Ends Well

Thought to have been originally written in 1604 or 1605, "All's Well That Ends Well" is considered one of Shakespeare's problem plays because it doesn't fit neatly into the genre of "tragedy" or "comedy". Shakespeare also referred to the pancake's cousin (the flapjack) in "Pericles": "Come, thou shan't go home and we'll have flesh for holidays, fish for fasting days, and moreo'er puddings and flap-jacks, and thou shalt be welcome". (Act II, Scene I)
7. What is the nickname of the "trail" that Western back-packers use when hoofing their way through Southeast Asia?

Answer: Banana Pancake Trail

The moniker "Banana Pancake Trail" is used to reference the many hostels, guesthouses, cafes and restaurants that cater to Western backpackers by serving banana pancakes and other sweet-fare for breakfast. While no definitive route exists for the "Banana Pancake Trail" the countries that make up the route include Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Bali, Singapore, and other such places.
8. Which country's version of the pancake is called "okonomiyaki", and is usually made from eggs, flour, cabbage, and other choice ingredients?

Answer: Japan

The "okonomiyaki" is a savory pancake whose name comes from the word "okonomi", meaning "what you like", and "yaki", meaning "cooked". This food item can be found throughout Japan, but is most popular in areas near Kansai and Hiroshima.
9. Blintzes are pancake delicacies popular in countries such as Belarus, Russia, and the Ukraine. What is the significant omission from the blintzes' recipe?

Answer: Yeast

Blintzes are often served as a breakfast food, for an appetizer, as part of the main course, or even with fruit as part of the dessert. The crepe-like blintze became popular in the United States with Jewish immigrants introducing the food. Jewish blintzes are usually filled with cheese, and are fried in oil.
10. In the United States there is a famous restaurant chain that is every pancake lover's dream. In which of these restaurants can you be served pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Answer: IHOP

The International House of Pancakes was founded in 1958 and has restaurants in all 50 states. The menu is mostly breakfast food with an emphasis on, of course, PANCAKES!
