edit: I love how Europeans still struggle to believe that these are what America sees as pancakes. For context, these buttermilk pancakes were so big that I only ordered two and could only eat half of the second one. If you went to our “International House of Pancakes(IHOP)” and ordered pancakes, this is what you’d get. America really is on another level.
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
oooooooh i get it now, pan-cake lol i never thought about that before
well here in austria we call them palatschinken so there’s no “pan” in that word at all.
i think the austrian palatschinken has it’s name from a hungarian language, so still a chance, that there is a pan hiding in there.
