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..

Little Chef chain of road side restaurants do the best American pancakes in Britain IMHO and they have been doing them since the 60s though they market them as desert mainly.

They do serve them for breakfast in the American breakfast choice but mainly the pancakes are consumed as a desert as this is how we are more used to eating them.

My favourite Little Chef one is Jubilee pancake which was launched during the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. It is 2 pancakes with ice cream and hot cherry pie filling.
