It’s National Pancake Day

Pancakes are essential for a perfect breakfast (or dinner!) This National Pancake Day, score a stack of fluffy goodness at your local IHOP!

IHOP restaurants introduced National Pancake Day in 2006 as a charity fundraiser (nearly $30 million to date!) But pancakes aren’t exactly a new food.  In fact, the remains of a  flapjack were found in the stomach of Otzi the Iceman and date back nearly 5,300 years!

Find your favorite people and head to IHOP for a sweet treat today while supporting a great cause.  Or- fire up the griddle at home and enjoy a melt-in-your-mouth classic.
