for all the rules who think crepes are pancakes :3

Really wish more people carried their own utensils to places that are too stupid to use metal ones.

Agreed. I just want people know what I generally mean when I talked about "pancakes" in my pancake posts

Pan-fried batter is always 👍

"American pancakes"

Canadians: >:(

Austrian Kaiserschmarrn

You have to use the proper translation, otherwise Americans won't understand you:

As a Brit your picture is definitely a normal pancake. Op has posted a extra bloated Scotch Pancake.

You don't roll up American pancakes, you cut them up into pieces. I used a piece from the center to better demonstrate just how thick they are.

Please gather up those eggs before you accidentally bump one and it rolls off the table.

Though I agree that those do look better and now I want (thin) pancakes and delicious toppings to turn into sweet burritos. If I want something heavier, I'll make waffles.

Precisely, hell at black bear if you get a volcano they stack the whole meal on em and you just do it all in one go

I wasn't that hungry, ok? 😫

Wow, that's new to me

Das ist kein Pfannenkuchen, das ist ein Kräppel!

That's a Berliner. Please, everybody, don't be fooled by this untrustworthy person.

I took this picture myself after getting the pancakes from a genuine American establishment. This is the average for our restaurants. Someone with me mentioned they had a small tape measure, so I decided to capitalize on it.

Also, it's not that uncommon for our tape measures to have metric.

They must've gone for the classic thirteen sixteenths of an inch!

Though an inch is of course defined as 25.4 mm, so Americans are basically always using metric, just with extra steps ;)

All measuring tapes I've seen here have metric on them, not sure why this is surprising

that's approximately how long the entire tape measure is. it's a keychain thing

Yeah that's just a fucking cake at that point

yes

we never said a man sized pancake was a healthfood

Also, yes.

Beholding in progress.

delish!

Oh damn. I used to make these years ago and have totally forgot about it since. I loved it. That is 100% going back on the menu.

There are a ton of Korean pancakes. Haemul pajeon, pajeon, kimchi jeon, gamja jeon, yuk jeon, bindaetteok, hotteok, buchimgae, etc.

All of them are tasty too, and lots of meatless and/or shellfish-less options.

Looks good. I'll also throw Okonomiyaki into the pancake competition

Yummmmmmmmmm 🦐🦑🦪

The pancake pizza 🤤

Very flat French pancake thing

They're just cut up into little pieces!!! There were two big fat pancakes that I cut up like this:

hotdog is just a frikandel with cake around it

Oh, I don't think America is supreme by any metric. This place has almost no redeeming qualities

Oh, man, I love that place.

Dip the sausage in pancake batter and deep fry it

...I think this is supposed to be a joke, but calzone-style savoury pancakes are absolutely a thing.

Can confirm the archetypal American pancake is much more like half an inch. OPs pancakes would def be considered thick.

but the defining property of a pancake is that it's cooked in a pan or on a similar surface. A pizza could be a pancake, but isn't necessarily one

Yes! I wasn't looking down on them, just highlighting the difference

something along the lines of pan cuties with cake?

Thicker than crêpe, thinner than american.

If they are 5mm, they are too thick

as far as i can tell there is virtually no difference, at least to swedish pancakes. Maybe crepes are thinner if you get really professional ones, but in practice it's basically the same thing.

Imo, a lot of pancakes aren't all that sugary. The syrup that we drench them with, on the other hand... Yeah, maybe not particularly healthy.

Cake is like 3-4 inches thixk though, and has layers and icing.

I've never had (or knew about) European pancakes. What are they like?
