Pancakes are a buttery breakfast food, made by grilling a thin batter on both sides. Plain pancakes can be made in several sizes, though cakes with a five to six inch diameter are the standard. The National Pancake Day is another term for Fat Tuesday, held annually in February or March. In 2010, the event will take place on February 16 and the restaurant chain IHOP will offer free pancakes.

National Pancake Day
The restaurant chain IHOP has offered free pancakes on Fat Tuesday since 2006 and coined the term National Pancake Day. The day takes place in February or March before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the Christian fasting period Lent. During Lent, some Christians refrain from eating dairy, egg or meat products. -
