I have noticed that a lot of Americans say that but to me a crepe is much drier and has a more wheatie taste well the ones I have tasted in France and Greece were.

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!
