The first pancake-type foods were eaten by ancient people. No, they were not the same pancakes we eat today. These simple, fried concoctions of milk, flour, eggs and spices were called "Alita Dolcia" (Latin for "another sweet") by the Ancient Romans. Depending upon the proportion of ingredients and method of cooking, the finished product might have approximated pancakes, fritters, omlettes, or custard. Some of these dishes were sweet (fruit, nuts, honey); others were savory (cheese, fish, meat). These ancient recipes are also thought to be the relatives of waffles, cakes, muffins, fritters, spoonbread and doughnuts.
Pancakes, as we Americans know them today, were "invented" in Medieval Europe.
Additional info:
First pancakes which were different from plain griddle breads are sweet ones mentioned by Apicius. They were made from batter of eggs, milk, water and flour and served with pepper and honey. Later an English culinary manuscript from 1430 year refers to pancakes, but the reference doesn't occur often in early printed cookery books.
