Karkcakes

Karkcakes are a type of traditional baked good originating from the fictional world of the "Karkat Varnish" series by Terry Pratchett. They are a staple in the city of Ankh-Morpork, particularly in the district of the Shades. Karkcakes are small, round, and flat, similar in shape to a pancake, but are typically made from a mixture of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, depending on the recipe. The dough is rolled out thinly and then baked in a special pan, often referred to as a "karkcake pan," which has a unique design with small indentations to give the karkcakes their characteristic shape.

Karkcakes are typically eaten for breakfast, often accompanied by a hot beverage such as tea or coffee. They are also a popular snack throughout the day. The most common flavor of karkcake is plain, but variations exist, including those with added ingredients such as sugar, spices, or fruits. Karkcakes are often served with a side of butter or jam.

In the context of the "Karkat Varnish" series, karkcakes hold a significant place in the culture and history of Ankh-Morpork. They are a symbol of the city's culinary heritage and are often referenced in the novels as a part of the city's everyday life. The series also explores the various bakeries and karkcake shops that dot the streets of Ankh-Morpork, each with its own unique recipes and traditions.
