In the UK we have a saying 'as flat as a pancake'. 'as flat as a flapjack' doesn't have the same ring to it. Maybe we should remove the ridiculous flapjack name from the lead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.14.189 ( talk) 11:36, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
There is no legitimacy behind this information quoted here: "In some circles in New Zealand, very thin, crêpe-like or UK pancake-like pancakes (around 20 cm in diameter) are known as "flapjacks". The name may derive from their thinness, making them more likely to "flap". They are traditionally served with butter, or butter and lemon, possibly something sweet, and then rolled up and eaten." Im from New zealand, and flap jacks are known as a type of oaty biscuit, not a pancake! Our pancakes are long and thin, essentially crepe-like, and we refer to them as -"pancakes". The person who wrote this got the description of the pancake right, but what gave them the idea we call them flapjacks? Everyone knows what flapjacks are! We also have american style pancakes, which we refer to as "american styled pancakes" and then we have pikelets. Where did the person who said this get their information from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.184.56.175 ( talk) 00:56, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
In Australia Pancakes are commonly eaten with lemon juice and sugar (referred to as just lemon and sugar). Honey is also a common topping as well as chocolate topping.
Also, Jam might be a common topping but jelly is not. Jelly is actually the name used to describe to what's known in the USA as Jello. Although there is a difference to Jam and Jelly, it's all commonly called Jam in Australia. -- Hostagexandox —Preceding comment was added at 16:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
"I been here four years, been to Pancake Parlour" is hardly any help in talking about Aussie Culture! Some of us native born Aussies have lived in various parts of Australia for over 60 years! Pancake Manor is based on US concepts, not Aussie. Golden Syrup - cane sugar syrup - was also even more popular than honey as it is a stronger deeper flavour. Golden Syrup is one of the main ingredients in ANZAC biscuits, a definite Aussie food icon. "Aussie slang for Jello" - Ah - sorry, the English call it Jam too - ONLY in the USA is it 'Jello' - this is just another example of US Cultural Imperialism crushing all before it and denying the local histories. Jello - US slang for Jam is closer to the global truth. In Australia 'Jelly' sets hard and is eaten chilled with a spoon. Corn Syrup is a US product - and Maple Syrup is Canadian -loved by Americans and not used much here (it's ALL imported - we HAVE no maple trees!) till the last couple of decades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.179.44 ( talk) 00:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Wow, your cultural heritage is distroyed by some Americans who don't use "Jelly" the same way you do? How fragile of you. For your information, Maple syrupe is tied culturally to every country with native maple trees. The US has plenty of Maple Syrup, thankyouverymuch, and is proud of its use of the natural sweetnener. Check out the Maple Syrup page for more culture crushing information to get upset about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.41.35.43 ( talk) 12:19, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
The pancake page seems incomplete without a discussion of Pancake Day (aka. Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras etc.). Trouble is, I'm not sure if it's an exclusively British tradition to have pancakes then. Also, how about putting up a recipe for pancake batter? -- Magnus

Pancakes on Mardi Gras?!? This USian is baffled. Sounds like a wonderful thing to add, though - certainly as relevant as IHOP.

I've removed the following from the article as it seems confusing (these are very different but unexplained recipies) and perhaps better suited to wikibooks? I've added two links to pancake recipies. fabiform | talk 01:39, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
A common recipe for pancake batter:
Combine and beat until smooth. Lightly grease griddle and pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot surface for each pancake. Turn when edges look cooked and bubbles begin to break on surface.
For extra light pancakes, mix some beer in with the batter.
It is also possible to follow a simpler recipe, without exact measurements. First, break an egg into a bowl. Mix in plain white flour until a smooth paste is formed and then dilute with milk until the consistency is suitable for pouring. Heat a small amount of some kind of cooking fat or cooking oil in a small frying pan and pour in enough mixture to thinly cover the base of the pan (leaving a little room round the edge). When the mixture appears to be reasonably cooked on the base (the top side will change in appearance), either turn or flip the pancake to cook the reverse.
Flapjack redirects to Pancake, but there's no reference to flapjacks in the pancake article. I'm assuming that a flapjack is another name for a British pancake. Lee M 22:45, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Pannkakor redirects here to Pancake, but aren't Swedish pancakes slightly different from regular American ones? -- Beland 00:11, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The date 1439 seems to be an error, possibly propagated by a BBC article on pancakes available on the internet. As far as I have been able to determine, the first English language recipe for pancakes is given in HARLEIAN MS. 279 (c. 1430-1440), and the number 1439 probably refers to ASHMOLE MS. 1439, which was published together with the former (and others) in 1888. See for yourself: here. Burschik 13:14, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The statement that Swedish pancakes are eaten on thursdays together with pea soup is made in a way that makes it appear as if pancakes can only be eaten in swedish in this context and that it is commonly practiced. In reality it's not; as far as I'm concerned, this is mainly limited to students on special occasions. Pancakes can be eaten (without pea soup) any day in the week as a common meal.

Did you known that there's also the Korean Version of Panckes too? Their ingredients includes eggs, seafood (For example, squid, salmon, scallop, clams, oysters), plus various types of onions, tomatoes, spinach, and other choice vegetables. They're mixed and pan-fried in a batch, and they're so yummy and delicious! So, could anyone please do some research on Korean Pancakes asap?
Thanks, bye!
I rolled back the addition of two pictures of store-packaged pancakes that appeared to be making a joke about the labels. If not, I apologize - but if they were meant seriously, I'm afraid they are terrible pictures that show nothing. - DavidWBrooks 02:35, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
There are an awful lot of "see also" articles linked at the bottom which have nothing to do with pancakes as food. Do people think it is time to move this article to Pancake (food), turning this into a disambiguation article - or do people think the food meaning so overwhelming that we should leave this as the main article and put this at the top:
Any thoughts? (Note to non-administrators: If you like the idea of moving the article, don't try to do it with a cut-and-paste, as that loses the talk page. It requires a special Move function) - DavidWBrooks 17:38, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The article compares Scottish pancakes to silver dollars, but I've never eaten one (of the pancakes, not the coins) less than 3" across (or seen one in the shops smaller than that size). Could do with confirmation regarding the size of the US currency (I'm assuming it's not 3" across) because it seems that Silver Dollar pancakes and Scotch pancakes are something else entirely.

I just came across this website that has a dicussion of the history of pancakes with lots of citations that could be inputed into this article if someone has the time. Remember 15:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be clearer to reorganise the article depending on the style of the pancake. e.g., from see-through thin French crêpes via German Pfannkuchen and American pancakes up to the thick Scottish crumpets. The current enumeration of countries and styles makes it harder to see commonalities, and also makes it essentially impossible to split up. Kjetilho 16:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

It does seem odd that not only the article but a lot of the discussion section are locked to comments - although vandalism may explain it. In any case, the so-called "Mexican pancakes" sound basically like johnny cakes if their sole distinguishing characteristic (other than toppings) from other traditional American/Canadian pancakes is their use of corn meal. In any case, there or elsewhere the cornmeal-based johnny cake should probably be mentioned in any complete article on this crucial topic. jmdeur 14:38 29 Feb 2008 (UTC)
Dosa cannot be considered pancakes. They are not prepared using sweet flour, as the article states is the distinguishing feature of pancakes.

The sight of it filling most of the front you get just when you see the article is horrendous. Just want to say that you might feel very good with it being there (extremely good perhaps even), but it hurts the actual reading experience for me. Why not put it chronologically, or after what is the most diverse cusine? It's not the NA one so that should solve it too.
Anyway, awaiting response that there might be some natural explanation of what seems to be an attempt to annoy readers. Something systematic or mathematical.

There are a lot of references to using Maple Syrup on pancakes. Not sure if this is encyclopedic, but perhaps it should be made clear that in the majority of cases in the U.S., what is actually being put on the pancakes is corn syrup with at most 2% maple syrup for flavoring. 69.95.233.206 ( talk) 23:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
citation "The question, whether the French crepe, the Austrian Palatschinken or the Hungarian palacsinta was created earlier, has not been decided for ages (though possibly the Roman placenta is their common ancestor - the latter was introduced by the Roman Legions into the countries of the European continent)."
Yes, the Romans, not the Romanians.
"Palatschinken" is plural. In Austrian German, the singular would be "Palatschinke" (pronunciation approx. [pala'tʃinkə]), derived from Hungarian "palacsinta." (an Austrian)

Contrary to what it says in the current lead sentence, pancakes are not flatbread. Flatbread is made from a dough that is pressed flat, whereas pancakes are always made from batter and never dough. Also, unlike most flatbreads, pancakes are soft in texture and sweet in flavor. Just because they are flat does not make them "flatbread." -- Jcbutler ( talk) 17:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Reading up on this article I noticed the US and the UK had some kind of "pancake day" celebration associated with mardi gras.
For Belgium the traditional day to eat pancakes , which has been a tradition for centuries has always been "Maria Lichtmis" on februari 2nd. Not mardi gras. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria-Lichtmis (don't go to the english page for this entry , translate the dutch one. Focus lies on different things) For France / French speaking Belgium, they call that day "Chandeleur" (also February 2nd) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandeleur .
In English this day is apparently called Candlemas or more elaborately "Presentation of Jesus at the Temple" .
Traditionally , that day , next to eating pancakes , there is also a ritual you have to perform to keep prosperity in the house. It consists of baking a pancake with the skillet in the right hand and a gold coin in the left , where when the pancake is finished -without opening or using the left hand during the process- one has to flip it on top of the kitchen cupboard . The pancake will sit there the whole year radiating luck.
With this I'd like to encourage someone with better English skills -Being french I fear I'll end up using out of context terminology - than mine to look into this in more detail and add it to the pancake page.

Article Quote :
In Canada,[36] the United Kingdom,[37] Ireland,[38] New Zealand, and Australia,[39] pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as "Pancake Day" and, particularly in Ireland and Scotland, as "Pancake Tuesday". (Shrove Tuesday is better known in the United States, France and other countries as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday.) Historically, pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday so that the last of the fatty and rich foods could be used up before Lent.
Implying in a sense pancake day is on Mardi Gras for France , Belgium etc is just plain wrong .. As stated in above text , Pancake day for a whole lot of European countries is Feb 2nd .. Chandeleur , Candlemas , Maria Lichtmis. 83.101.83.87 ( talk) 12:35, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Asian section has:
Indian pancakes, called pooda (sometimes called Cheela, can be made either sweet or salty and are of different thicknesses in different places.
There either needs to be a closing Parentheses, or the Parentheses needs to be a comma. I'm not the best with grammar rules, so I'll leave it up to someone who is to correct this.
Maybe it needs to be rewritten all together?

There are some mistakes in the Russian section. 1. Blini are not necessarily thin. They can be thin or thick. 2. Dough is more often made without yeast. 3. Blini and blinchiki are not two different things. Blinchiki is just a diminutive form of blini. Blin is any kind of pancake no matter the recipe.

There isn't a recipe reference for English pancakes in this article (but there are recipes for Chinese pancakes, Indonesian pancakes etc.). Here's a popular BBC Good Food recipe that I use for classic pancakes with lemon and sugar: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2907669/easy-pancakes Please include it as a reference in the paragraph 'Great Britain > England' alongside the mentions of lemon and sugar e.g. 'They may be eaten as a sweet dessert with the traditional topping of lemon juice and sugar'.

English pancakes are similar to French crêpes and Italian crespelle. They may be eaten as a sweet dessert with the traditional topping of lemon juice and sugar, drizzled with golden syrup, or wrapped around savoury stuffings and eaten as a main course. On Shrove Tuesday, it is custom to eat pancakes, and lemon juice and sugar may be added on top. —

Pancakes in south-africa are soft and fluffy and does not have a texture like crepes. I have never in my life seen anyone use lemon juice to soften a pancake since they are already soft to begin with. Lemon juice is ocassionally added in the batter before the pancake is made on a oven. The pancake is then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, not cinnamon sugar which is sugar with a flavouring agent. Often times it is also filled with caramel and bananas. They are not usually eaten on cold and wet days, since the provinces in which they are eaten most often have very little rainfall and is closer to a dessert environment. Pancakes are enjoyed year round and often served at the entrances to shopping centres, church festivals, sporting events, school functions, and generally any large event. They are common in restaurants as well and coffee shops. A pancake in south africa is soft and fluffy and eaten hot, if it is not soft then it won't be eaten because we will consider it to made poorly or just bad. Pancakes are usually sold between 7-15 rand in 2020

What is a banana pancake? It sounds like something that could potentially be merged into the pancake category. LCD07 ( talk) 23:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, banana pancakes are not pancakes with a topping of banana slices, like blueberries. In Uganda the sweet and slightly sour black plantain banana's are minced and made to a dough with cassave flour and salt and sometimes milk. Thick slices of 1 x 10 cm. are fried in oil and served as kabalagala's for breakfast and as streetfood. A (district of the city of Kampala is named after the pancake, the pancake bakers were there first. Sad that I can't add this to the article, because of the protection.

The illustration opposite the Scotland paragraph is incorrectly labelled. There are two items in the picture, a small round brown object, and a large round folded object with a puckered top. These are described as "Pancake and fruit crumpet". I'm not sure which is intended to be which; there appears to be fruit on the larger object, but neither is a characteristic example of what is usually known in Britain as a "pancake" (though the smaller could be a Scotch pancake, or an upside-down crumpet), nor does the larger object fit either of the descriptions. In my view the legend should read "Scotch pancake and Staffordshire oatcake". Deipnosophista ( talk) 18:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

In the UK we have a saying 'as flat as a pancake'. 'as flat as a flapjack' doesn't have the same ring to it. Maybe we should remove the ridiculous flapjack name from the lead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.14.189 ( talk) 11:36, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
There is no legitimacy behind this information quoted here: "In some circles in New Zealand, very thin, crêpe-like or UK pancake-like pancakes (around 20 cm in diameter) are known as "flapjacks". The name may derive from their thinness, making them more likely to "flap". They are traditionally served with butter, or butter and lemon, possibly something sweet, and then rolled up and eaten." Im from New zealand, and flap jacks are known as a type of oaty biscuit, not a pancake! Our pancakes are long and thin, essentially crepe-like, and we refer to them as -"pancakes". The person who wrote this got the description of the pancake right, but what gave them the idea we call them flapjacks? Everyone knows what flapjacks are! We also have american style pancakes, which we refer to as "american styled pancakes" and then we have pikelets. Where did the person who said this get their information from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.184.56.175 ( talk) 00:56, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
In Australia Pancakes are commonly eaten with lemon juice and sugar (referred to as just lemon and sugar). Honey is also a common topping as well as chocolate topping.
Also, Jam might be a common topping but jelly is not. Jelly is actually the name used to describe to what's known in the USA as Jello. Although there is a difference to Jam and Jelly, it's all commonly called Jam in Australia. -- Hostagexandox —Preceding comment was added at 16:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
"I been here four years, been to Pancake Parlour" is hardly any help in talking about Aussie Culture! Some of us native born Aussies have lived in various parts of Australia for over 60 years! Pancake Manor is based on US concepts, not Aussie. Golden Syrup - cane sugar syrup - was also even more popular than honey as it is a stronger deeper flavour. Golden Syrup is one of the main ingredients in ANZAC biscuits, a definite Aussie food icon. "Aussie slang for Jello" - Ah - sorry, the English call it Jam too - ONLY in the USA is it 'Jello' - this is just another example of US Cultural Imperialism crushing all before it and denying the local histories. Jello - US slang for Jam is closer to the global truth. In Australia 'Jelly' sets hard and is eaten chilled with a spoon. Corn Syrup is a US product - and Maple Syrup is Canadian -loved by Americans and not used much here (it's ALL imported - we HAVE no maple trees!) till the last couple of decades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.179.44 ( talk) 00:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Wow, your cultural heritage is distroyed by some Americans who don't use "Jelly" the same way you do? How fragile of you. For your information, Maple syrupe is tied culturally to every country with native maple trees. The US has plenty of Maple Syrup, thankyouverymuch, and is proud of its use of the natural sweetnener. Check out the Maple Syrup page for more culture crushing information to get upset about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.41.35.43 ( talk) 12:19, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the following from the article as it seems confusing (these are very different but unexplained recipies) and perhaps better suited to wikibooks? I've added two links to pancake recipies. fabiform | talk 01:39, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
A common recipe for pancake batter:
Combine and beat until smooth. Lightly grease griddle and pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot surface for each pancake. Turn when edges look cooked and bubbles begin to break on surface.
For extra light pancakes, mix some beer in with the batter.
It is also possible to follow a simpler recipe, without exact measurements. First, break an egg into a bowl. Mix in plain white flour until a smooth paste is formed and then dilute with milk until the consistency is suitable for pouring. Heat a small amount of some kind of cooking fat or cooking oil in a small frying pan and pour in enough mixture to thinly cover the base of the pan (leaving a little room round the edge). When the mixture appears to be reasonably cooked on the base (the top side will change in appearance), either turn or flip the pancake to cook the reverse.
Flapjack redirects to Pancake, but there's no reference to flapjacks in the pancake article. I'm assuming that a flapjack is another name for a British pancake. Lee M 22:45, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Pannkakor redirects here to Pancake, but aren't Swedish pancakes slightly different from regular American ones? -- Beland 00:11, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The date 1439 seems to be an error, possibly propagated by a BBC article on pancakes available on the internet. As far as I have been able to determine, the first English language recipe for pancakes is given in HARLEIAN MS. 279 (c. 1430-1440), and the number 1439 probably refers to ASHMOLE MS. 1439, which was published together with the former (and others) in 1888. See for yourself: here. Burschik 13:14, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The statement that Swedish pancakes are eaten on thursdays together with pea soup is made in a way that makes it appear as if pancakes can only be eaten in swedish in this context and that it is commonly practiced. In reality it's not; as far as I'm concerned, this is mainly limited to students on special occasions. Pancakes can be eaten (without pea soup) any day in the week as a common meal.

Did you known that there's also the Korean Version of Panckes too? Their ingredients includes eggs, seafood (For example, squid, salmon, scallop, clams, oysters), plus various types of onions, tomatoes, spinach, and other choice vegetables. They're mixed and pan-fried in a batch, and they're so yummy and delicious! So, could anyone please do some research on Korean Pancakes asap?

I rolled back the addition of two pictures of store-packaged pancakes that appeared to be making a joke about the labels. If not, I apologize - but if they were meant seriously, I'm afraid they are terrible pictures that show nothing. - DavidWBrooks 02:35, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
There are an awful lot of "see also" articles linked at the bottom which have nothing to do with pancakes as food. Do people think it is time to move this article to Pancake (food), turning this into a disambiguation article - or do people think the food meaning so overwhelming that we should leave this as the main article and put this at the top:
Any thoughts? (Note to non-administrators: If you like the idea of moving the article, don't try to do it with a cut-and-paste, as that loses the talk page. It requires a special Move function) - DavidWBrooks 17:38, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The article compares Scottish pancakes to silver dollars, but I've never eaten one (of the pancakes, not the coins) less than 3" across (or seen one in the shops smaller than that size). Could do with confirmation regarding the size of the US currency (I'm assuming it's not 3" across) because it seems that Silver Dollar pancakes and Scotch pancakes are something else entirely.

I just came across this website that has a dicussion of the history of pancakes with lots of citations that could be inputed into this article if someone has the time. Remember 15:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be clearer to reorganise the article depending on the style of the pancake. e.g., from see-through thin French crêpes via German Pfannkuchen and American pancakes up to the thick Scottish crumpets. The current enumeration of countries and styles makes it harder to see commonalities, and also makes it essentially impossible to split up. Kjetilho 16:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

It does seem odd that not only the article but a lot of the discussion section are locked to comments - although vandalism may explain it. In any case, the so-called "Mexican pancakes" sound basically like johnny cakes if their sole distinguishing characteristic (other than toppings) from other traditional American/Canadian pancakes is their use of corn meal. In any case, there or elsewhere the cornmeal-based johnny cake should probably be mentioned in any complete article on this crucial topic. jmdeur 14:38 29 Feb 2008 (UTC)

The sight of it filling most of the front you get just when you see the article is horrendous. Just want to say that you might feel very good with it being there (extremely good perhaps even), but it hurts the actual reading experience for me. Why not put it chronologically, or after what is the most diverse cusine? It's not the NA one so that should solve it too.

There are a lot of references to using Maple Syrup on pancakes. Not sure if this is encyclopedic, but perhaps it should be made clear that in the majority of cases in the U.S., what is actually being put on the pancakes is corn syrup with at most 2% maple syrup for flavoring. 69.95.233.206 ( talk) 23:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
citation "The question, whether the French crepe, the Austrian Palatschinken or the Hungarian palacsinta was created earlier, has not been decided for ages (though possibly the Roman placenta is their common ancestor - the latter was introduced by the Roman Legions into the countries of the European continent)."
Yes, the Romans, not the Romanians.
"Palatschinken" is plural. In Austrian German, the singular would be "Palatschinke" (pronunciation approx. [pala'tʃinkə]), derived from Hungarian "palacsinta." (an Austrian)

Contrary to what it says in the current lead sentence, pancakes are not flatbread. Flatbread is made from a dough that is pressed flat, whereas pancakes are always made from batter and never dough. Also, unlike most flatbreads, pancakes are soft in texture and sweet in flavor. Just because they are flat does not make them "flatbread." -- Jcbutler ( talk) 17:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Reading up on this article I noticed the US and the UK had some kind of "pancake day" celebration associated with mardi gras.
For Belgium the traditional day to eat pancakes , which has been a tradition for centuries has always been "Maria Lichtmis" on februari 2nd. Not mardi gras. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria-Lichtmis (don't go to the english page for this entry , translate the dutch one. Focus lies on different things) For France / French speaking Belgium, they call that day "Chandeleur" (also February 2nd) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandeleur .
In English this day is apparently called Candlemas or more elaborately "Presentation of Jesus at the Temple" .
Traditionally , that day , next to eating pancakes , there is also a ritual you have to perform to keep prosperity in the house. It consists of baking a pancake with the skillet in the right hand and a gold coin in the left , where when the pancake is finished -without opening or using the left hand during the process- one has to flip it on top of the kitchen cupboard . The pancake will sit there the whole year radiating luck.
With this I'd like to encourage someone with better English skills -Being french I fear I'll end up using out of context terminology - than mine to look into this in more detail and add it to the pancake page.

Article Quote :
In Canada,[36] the United Kingdom,[37] Ireland,[38] New Zealand, and Australia,[39] pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as "Pancake Day" and, particularly in Ireland and Scotland, as "Pancake Tuesday". (Shrove Tuesday is better known in the United States, France and other countries as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday.) Historically, pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday so that the last of the fatty and rich foods could be used up before Lent.
Implying in a sense pancake day is on Mardi Gras for France , Belgium etc is just plain wrong .. As stated in above text , Pancake day for a whole lot of European countries is Feb 2nd .. Chandeleur , Candlemas , Maria Lichtmis. 83.101.83.87 ( talk) 12:35, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

There are some mistakes in the Russian section. 1. Blini are not necessarily thin. They can be thin or thick. 2. Dough is more often made without yeast. 3. Blini and blinchiki are not two different things. Blinchiki is just a diminutive form of blini. Blin is any kind of pancake no matter the recipe. Except oladyi which is just smaller radius blini but they don't count as blini in our cuisine. Женя Логинов /Zhenya Loginov 16:13, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Here's a popular BBC Good Food recipe that I use for classic pancakes with lemon and sugar: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2907669/easy-pancakes Please include it as a reference in the paragraph 'Great Britain > England' alongside the mentions of lemon and sugar e.g. 'They may be eaten as a sweet dessert with the traditional topping of lemon juice and sugar'. Thank you. 207.82.79.76 ( talk) 10:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
English pancakes are similar to French crêpes and Italian crespelle. They may be eaten as a sweet dessert with the traditional topping of lemon juice and sugar, drizzled with golden syrup, or wrapped around savoury stuffings and eaten as a main course. On Shrove Tuesday, it is custom to eat pancakes, and lemon juice and sugar may be added on top. —

there is a swedish pancake missing. they are called krabbelurer or "crablings" and are small pancakes that you whip up the eggs and sugar into a foam and they sometimes include chickpea broth from conserved chickpeas. they are smaller than most pancakes, about 1.5 cm thick and both sides are dipped in sugar.

Pancakes in south-africa are soft and fluffy and does not have a texture like crepes. I have never in my life seen anyone use lemon juice to soften a pancake since they are already soft to begin with. Lemon juice is ocassionally added in the batter before the pancake is made on a oven. The pancake is then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, not cinnamon sugar which is sugar with a flavouring agent. Often times it is also filled with caramel and bananas. They are not usually eaten on cold and wet days, since the provinces in which they are eaten most often have very little rainfall and is closer to a dessert environment. Pancakes are enjoyed year round and often served at the entrances to shopping centres, church festivals, sporting events, school functions, and generally any large event. They are common in restaurants as well and coffee shops. A pancake in south africa is soft and fluffy and eaten hot, if it is not soft then it won't be eaten because we will consider it to made poorly or just bad. Pancakes are usually sold between 7-15 rand in 2020

Remove Belgium in "regional varieties" from the "France, Italy,..." entry and add it to the Netherlands, as Belgium has the same Pancake-customs as the Netherlands, and does not eat the very thin crepes variety. 80.236.249.95 ( talk) 21:31, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I propose to merge Banana pancakes into Pancake. The content is a clear subset of the Pancake article and other types of pancakes do not have their own articles. Kstern ( talk) 18:29, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
What is a banana pancake? It sounds like something that could potentially be merged into the pancake category. LCD07 ( talk) 23:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, banana pancakes are not pancakes with a topping of banana slices, like blueberries. In Uganda the sweet and slightly sour black plantain banana's are minced and made to a dough with cassave flour and salt and sometimes milk. Thick slices of 1 x 10 cm. are fried in oil and served as kabalagala's for breakfast and as streetfood. A (district of the city of Kampala is named after the pancake, the pancake bakers were there first. Sad that I can't add this to the article, because of the protection.

This is a terribly awkward and grammatically incorrect sentence, and would read much more clearly if worded and punctuated differently. "Rings-pancake" is particularly confusing in this context. Saschug ( talk) 16:50, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
The word naleśnik really isn't pronounce dnaleshnik, please someone drop, or change it to IPA: /naˈlɛɕ.ɲik/ (or in phonefiv transcription, as it is supposed to be pronunciation. Iacobus8 ( talk) 16:22, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
The illustration opposite the Scotland paragraph is incorrectly labelled. There are two items in the picture, a small round brown object, and a large round folded object with a puckered top. These are described as "Pancake and fruit crumpet". I'm not sure which is intended to be which; there appears to be fruit on the larger object, but neither is a characteristic example of what is usually known in Britain as a "pancake" (though the smaller could be a Scotch pancake, or an upside-down crumpet), nor does the larger object fit either of the descriptions. In my view the legend should read "Scotch pancake and Staffordshire oatcake". Deipnosophista ( talk) 18:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

The first paragraph says that archeological evidence suggests that pancakes were probably the earliest cereal food eaten by humans. It would be good if the article could be a bit more detailed on how this evidence was found. Vorbee ( talk) 10:08, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

I think this page could do with a hatnote for the redirect from hotcakes, to link to the other (non primary) pages about Hotcakes. - Something like the below inserted near the top with the other hatnotes:
