2) According to whether it is fermented or not, Shandong pancakes can be divided into sweet and sour tastes. The pancake made by grinding corn (or millet) into paste and putting it in a barrel for natural fermentation has a slightly sour taste. Because it is rich in lactic acid bacteria, it is very beneficial to people with bad stomach. If you like to eat slightly sweet, choose new corn, grind it into paste and spread it immediately, so that the pancakes will be sweet. Traditional Shandong pancakes give people the impression that they are delicious and hard to bite, just like eating a thick layer of paper and making your cheeks and teeth tired.

New Shandong pancakes are the inheritance and development of traditional Shandong pancakes.
3) Why do Shandong pancakes taste the best? First, the raw materials of pancakes are finely ground from coarse grains, neither pure flour and rice nor pure coarse grains.

Yimeng pancake: it is a traditional folk staple food in Yimeng mountain area and a well-known local specialty food. There are three main tools for baking pancakes: one is iron, round, large, medium and small, the medium is about 65 cm in diameter, the center is slightly convex, and there are three legs under it, which can be baked with firewood or coal; Tobacco is a special tool for baking pancakes. There is a note of "tobacco" in Kangxi Dictionary, and there is a saying of "cooked tobacco" in gold in the imperial court and the imperial court of Tang Dynasty, which shows that pancakes have a long history. The second is to push the paste with tools, which is called "pool" by the locals. It has a wooden plate arc and a handle. After applying the paste to the hot seeds, push it around with a pool, and the paste will be thinly applied to the seeds. Some of them use shovels and some use "bamboo chop", which has the same effect, but the baked pancakes have their own characteristics. The third is the oil scraper, which the masses call oil slippers. It is a square wiper sewn with more than ten layers of cloth and soaked in edible oil to wipe hazelnuts and prevent pancakes from sticking. The process of making pancakes is very complicated. It uses wheat, sorghum, corn, millet, dried sweet potato and other grains as raw materials, which are washed, soaked and then ground into paste with a stone mill. People call it pancake paste. In other places, 1/3 or half clinker is put before grinding, which is called "half cooked". The masses say that the paste thus ground is easy to bake, and the baked pancakes are soft and delicious. It takes a lot of effort to grind paste. It usually takes two or three hours to grind twenty or thirty kilograms of grain. Because the paste is too thick, pancakes are naturally not delicious. When grinding, the filler must be experienced and less, so that the ground paste is fine and uniform. There is another interesting saying from the children at school: "I won't miss it if I don't eat it." The most distinctive common dishes are "slag tofu" and green onions. Slag tofu is also the local snacks in Yimeng Mountain area. That is, Chinese cabbage leaves, radish tassels, wild vegetables, sweet potato seedlings and so on. Wash and chop, add bean flour and salt, and cook in water. Tofu pancakes and some Chili noodles are the best meals for poor farmers to fill their stomachs. In the past, when the farm was busy, there was no time to cook. Pancakes with green onions and sweet sauce are the most delicious way to eat. Recently, some people think that eating pancakes takes a long time to chew, so it can promote body fluid and stomach, stimulate appetite, promote facial nerve movement, help maintain the health of vision, hearing and smell, and slow down aging, so it is a health food.
