A British pancake is very fatty hot and oozing in sugar and lemon juice :o)
Yeah, but they’re much thinner than the American version. And you can roll them, like a crepe.
I found it amusing on my first trip to the UK (NI) that the hotel chef didn’t have a recipe for American-style pancakes. He needed to learn, because there were going to be MANY of us passing through for many years to come.
So, a couple of us spent several days in the kitchen with our new friend and gave him a few helpful hints to appease home-sick Americans ‘round the breakfast table..
;-)
My mom’s recipe for crepes (aka palachinke) is similar to the British pancake. After they’re made, she heats them up with lots of butter and cream cheese...or sometimes maple syrup. YUM!
