Evidence of pancakes were found in the stomach of human remains dating back 5,300 years. Examination of Otzi the Iceman, whose body was discovered in the Italian Alps in 1991, revealed that his last meals included red deer, ibex and ground einkorn wheat. The traces of charcoal he had eaten along with the grain suggest that it was in the form of a pancake, cooked over coals.
