What is the pancake recipe in your country? What do the pancakes look like?

1. I don’t have the recipe in my head but my dad adds beaten egg whites and vanilla pudding powder for extra fluffiness and taste.

   And just as a sidenote to the americans and canadians in this thread: European Pancakes are vastly different and superior to the dry yucky food waste you call pancakes over there.

2. [Drop scones](https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/drop_scones_38257) – can be served with bacon and egg as part of a cooked breakfast (some people say this is American, but I remember it from Scotland in the 70s – no maple syrup was involved) or sweet with butter and jam or honey. You can also buy them at bakeries and eat them cold as a snack.

3. If you drop the cream and baking soda, it looks pretty close to what I know

4. Mix 100g of ordinary plain white flour, 2 eggs and 300ml of milk in a bowl until the mixture is smooth like cream. Then heat up a frying pan with a tiny piece of butter melted on it. Add a ladleful of pancake mixture to the pan, swirl it round till it covers the whole pan. After a minute or two, it will have brown specks on the side touching the pan, so flip it (either toss it in the air or use a spatula) and cook the other side.

   When it’s ready, it’s a thin pancake you can roll or fold. The most classic topping is lemon juice and sugar, but other popular toppings are jam, fruit, golden syrup, or Nutella, and sometimes savoury toppings like ham or cheese.

5. We have lots of regional types, “boffers” being from my region; yeast dough with raisins and apples fried in a pan three at a time. You essentially make a dough with 500g flour, 500mL lukewarm milk, 25g yeast, a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp sugar and 150g diced apples and raisins in any ratio, let rise for 2 hours, and then fry small scoops in butter until they puff up to ~2 cm thick. Serve with powdered sugar, sugar syrup, or applesauce.

   They kinda look like [these](https://www.hermandenblijker.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/drie-in-de-pan-AD-Column-Herman-den-Blijker-Paul-de-Graaff-1.jpg).

6. In my hometown -Galicia- there’s a recipe for something similar to savory crepes that we call [filloas](https://imag.bonviveur.com/plato-de-filloas.jpg)

   250g wheat flour

   3 eggs

   1125ml of soup stock/bone broth

   Some white pork fat for oiling the pan

   You can also substitute 250ml of water for pork blood and make [filloas de sangre](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJCRcjDYCFg/WDMU31RLw5I/AAAAAAAAGu0/62LDP8Xna2Yds385WpTxlF9NhxU7ftXVACLcB/s1600/2016-11-12+Filloas+de+sangre+V.jpg)

7. For approx. 8 pancakes I’d (every swede has their own pancake recipe) use:

   – 2 eggs
   – 4 dl milk
   – 2 dl wheat flour
   – Some salt

   Optional: melted butter and/or vanilla sugar

   Mix together and fry thin pancakes in a pan coated with butter or margarine, serve with jam, ice cream, or just sugar

   Edit: 2 and not 4 dl wheat flour

8. I don’t know the exact measurements, but: 250 ml milk, 1 egg, enough flour (whole wheat/grain or buckwheat is the best, but any flour will do) until it’s a thick batter, pinch of salt, pinch of vanilla sugar.

   Cook in butter in a flat iron pan, flip once so both sides are a nice golden brown.

9. I do crêpes with one kg of flour, 2,5 liters of milk and 6 eggs.

   They are very large but very thin and I roll or fold them after putting some jam or Nutella on them.

10. Ours are the same, but generally no sugar in the pancakes themselves. We eat them sweet, but we also eat pancake soup (just sliced pancake in broth) and then sugar would be odd.

11. I always use a recipe I found online. They’ll look something like [this](https://i.imgur.com/cWMNx7V.png), pretty similar to yours OP.

    300g wheat flour

    500ml milk

    4 eggs

    4 tsp sugar

    1 pinch of salt

    I sometimes also like to add some cocoa powder and a bit more sugar to make chocolate pancakes.

12. Local pancakes look very similar. You need eggs, flour and milk, bit of salt, some people add sugar and other things according to their family tradition.

    I have never done them according to any recipe, I just start with some eggs, add milk in amount that seems right and then add flour. I judge the batter consistency as I go. As my mom taught me when I was six.

13. 3 dl flour
    5 dl milk
    4 eggs
    1 tsp salt

    Cooked in melted butter. Thin and large. [Typically they look something like this.](https://i.imgur.com/g2tkfT5.png)

14. I use:

    – wheat flour
    – eggs
    – milk
    – vanilla sugar
    – stevia
    – fried diced bacon

    And grated cheese after the batter is solid and let it melt in the pan.

15. [Pfannkuchen](https://www.maekelboerger-kuchenmanufaktur.de/fileadmin/uploads/produktkacheln/Berliner_Erdbeer_Fondant_003.jpg) you say?

    I wouldn’t do them myself but I prefer sugar glazing and plum jam filling

16. For about 4 pancakes:

    2 eggs
    1,5 dl flour
    0,25 teaspoon salt
    2,5 dl milk

    After mixing that, I leave it alone for about 30 minutes. You can cook with either margarine or butter. Doesn’t really make that much of a difference, so I usually use margarine.

    I usually put brown cheese or raspberry jam on finished ones when I’m about to eat. Sometimes just butter and sugar.

17. This is my grandmother’s (oven) pancake recipe:
    0.5 litres milk
    2 dl flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon oil

    The above ingredients are mixed and left out to thicken for a while (like half an hour or so)

    Mix in a separate bowl:
    3 eggs
    3 tablespoons sugar

    Add to the batter. Pour the batter into a wide shallow-ish pan that’s been greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake in 225 Celsius until it’s done (30 minutes or so).

18. I never make pancakes, only crapes out of milk, eggs, flour

19. Closest is the “fregnacce”, made out of flour, salt, olive oil, water and a little yeast (plus some rosemary if you like). Basically a good on-the-fly bread receipe.

20. I have never seen or heard of anyone using a recipe for pancakes. You crack an egg, add milk, flour and salt and mix it. They are flat and thin and you can put whatever the heck you want on them. But usually it’s apricot or strawberry jam or nutella. You can also slice them and put them in soup.

21. I always think pancakes in Finland meant pannukakku, which looks like this: https://www.providence-hotel.com/wp-content/uploads/Finnish-Pancake.jpg

    I’d assume the ingredients are basically the same as “American” pancakes, but you’d just bake it instead?

22. Uk pancakes are like crepes, scotland has small thicker pancakes a bit like american ones but like 1/4 the size and thickness. I guess the scotts just call them pancakes 😉 but they are called scottish pancakes in the rest of GB.

    UK recipie that I use (probably the same as every other countries’):

    * 1 medium Egg
    * 50g Flour
    * 150ml Milk
    * Pinch of salt

    Leave to for at least 30 minutes. Makes roughly 2 pancakes

23. Its essentially that recipie but I cut alot on the sugar and add a soupspoon of vinegar to the milk before mixing.

24. I wont argue the recipe, but the end result looks like yours
