If you are starting to notice recipes for pancakes in the Facebook newsfeed, it's a 'thing' right now.
It starts like this (as cut and pasted from my friend Kasey's FB status update):
The internet has now gone totally ba-nanas for a humble Aussie pancake recipe.
The recipe for basic pancakes - you can see it here, because I know you are craving pancakes now - was first published on taste.com.au in March 2010.
Until now: a few weeks ago, the recipe started popping up on websites and Facebook feeds around the world, accompanied by the phrase: “I can’t think of anything to comment so here’s a pancake recipe”.
Have a look at your FB feed. You will start to see them… especially as status updates or in Facebook threads which are not even remotely relevant. Expect worldwide flour and sugar shortages!
YUM. I want them now...
