We first heard about them by the Americans. At least, this is what most of us believe. And the truth is that people in the States have been eating pancakes for the last 100 years. They do want them for breakfast, but also as a full snack during the day, sweet or salty. But there are
archaeological elements that prove their existence in ancient years and make them one of the oldest food in prehistoric societies.
So this cute porridge that turns into a base for a delicious dish was particularly beloved by people who lived many many years ago and there's no doubt about that.
You can either taste the pancakes at a
sweet or a salty version. You can combine them with honey, maple syrup, jam, fresh fruits, powdered sugar, chocolate or salty with eggs, bacon and cheese. Greeks seem to enjoy them both, but mainly as a sweet dessert.
Touristorama discovered in Nafplio the place that makes the most delicious pancakes. And this is Teory all day cafe bistro which is located in the Old Town of Nafplion. We like to search and suggest the best of their kind. And in this friendly and beautiful place, we undoubtedly enjoyed enormous and wonderful pancakes!
We asked the owner
Thodoris Dagiantis to tell us the secrets behind his success and he told us about the
authentic recipe he brought from America, based on which he makes his famous Teory pancakes. Flour, water, milk, eggs and butter, in respectful ratios and quality raw materials that give the best possible result. And then the extras, that take off the flavour of the base. Jams, syrups, honey, fresh fruit, grated nuts, aromatic cinnamon... Not much to tell. You have to taste it! And don't worry if you don't know the combinations. They do know and suggest at Teory!
You wanna know the
second reason why we loved Teory's pancakes? The portions are
huge and can eat up to 2 persons!
Teory's pancakes are served in a satisfying variety. You can actually choose among 30 ingredients, sweet or salty, and compose the pancake you wish.
Thodoris suggests you should try the one that
Elvis Presley used to eat, with maple syrup, eggs and bacon, a version that combines in harmony sweet and salty flavor.
Now you know. When in Nafplion, visit Teory cafe bistro for original pancakes!
