        I didn’t know it was dutch until this post lol. But it’s obviously pancake looking at the word. Or so I thought! Looking it up it’s specifically a Dutch Pancake?

        Is there a different word for a western pancake?

          Well, I’d consider Dutch culture to be western as well lol. Dutch pancakes are there own thing (not to be confused with a ‘Dutch Pancake’ in America, which is another different thing

          We call the thicker, smaller pancakes ‘american’ pancakes.

          Dutch pancakes (Pannenkoeken) are thinner and bigger in diameter. More like a crêpe. Though crêpes are thinner again.

          The american ‘Dutch Pancake’ is a very fluffy egg pancake baked in a pan. (Also called a German Pancake or Dutch Baby Pancake) (there’s not much Dutch about it, because it originated in the US from someone of German descent)
