>aren't pancakes supposed to be like super thin, like crepes?

No, you're thinking of crepes

>>13619119
Blue rare

every european country that i've gone to (from sweden, to russia, to germany, to france, to italy, to spain etc) and asked for pancakes - or looked at an english menu (or version of it) - they've come out like pic related. but when i was in america and asked for a pancake or looked at their menus for pancakes, they've come out very thick. hope that better explains what my question was as you've seem to misunderstand it.

>>13619504
You have it backwards. Crepes are super thin pancakes. Pancakes are pancakes.

>>13619504
you really eat tortillas as a main dish?

>>13619569
Amerifats just need to get max calories everywhere.

>>13619594
well, that's what i was asking in a way. when i order a pancake in america, it comes like pic related.

also, the only main difference between a crepe and a pancake is that a crepe doesn't have a raising agent. it's just a bit thinner and flatter than a pancake.

>>13619594
And?

>starving is bad
>ok I'll do the opposite
>that's also bad

why are Europeans so fucking retarded?

>>13619119
Well done with plenty of chup.

>>13619569
here there are pancakes, swedish pancakes, and crepes. crepes are very thin, swedish pancakes are thin, and pancakes can range from thin to thick

americans are too greedy to wait for 5 or so individual thin pancakes, so they just make one fat one in one single go.

>>13619119
i like them medium rare with the batter a bit clumpy....

>>13619569

Anon, those are crepes.

>>13620461
Those are actually pancakes. You can see that it's been made with baking powder/soda.

>>13620509
If they're that thin and rolled up, they're crepes.

>>13619119
Soufflé

No, they are not crepes. They are pancakes.

>>13621500
nope, that's actually not true at all.
the only difference is the raising agent.

didn't realize /ck/ was filled with brainlets who don't know the difference between pancakes and crepes.

laughing at you guys turning this into a 420+ post thread arguing about semantics and subjective opinions about flapjacks never change 4skin

Crepes are only fried on the other side though, it's literally a pancake.

>Crepes are only fried on the other side though
That's not even a requirement.That's quite a new practice funnily enough.
