Best Pancakes

If Crêpes doesn't win this by 40 votes then ILX has failed. Unless Galettes are some awesome Crêpe+ which I haven't discovered yet.

Drop scones from my GREAT grandmother's cast iron dropsconeulator FTW

Galette, whole wheat crêpe for savoury toppings, such a gruyere and morels or roquefort and walnuts.

tht looks nice

surely the answer is the pancake which has the most butter and maple syrup on it

Hahaha! Um I don't know what most of those options are. Aren't drop-scones like...American biscuits? And silver dollars just a smaller version of whatever you're already having, as far as I can tell.

drop scones are to british pancakes what silver dollars are to american ones, although you have to make thicker batter for drop scones.

where's the McGriddle option

in typical American excess I just thought about a burger between two pancakes, maybe with some bacon. and butter.

DIPPED IN MAPLE SYRUP FTW

yah i'm still not really convinced that these so-called "british pancakes" are anything more than crepes rebranded nationalistically a la freedom fries

They are thicker, you spread out the british ones by gravity alone but the franch use a spreader for extra thinness.

the ones I just made *burp*

You have now made me totally want to eat pancakes.

No Emperor's Pancakes? WTF?

Also no Dutch Babies? Worst pancake poll ever.

Crepes with ham, gruyere and wild mushrooms.

You are a man after my own heart when you're not talking about Doctor Who, chap ;)

Doctor Who and food are pretty much all I talk about.

Galette, whole wheat crêpe for savoury toppings, such a gruyere and morels or roquefort and walnuts.

Actually, proper Breton galettes are made with buckwheat flour.

these are the best pancakes (venezuelan corn pancakes): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cachapa

(w/cotija cheese!)

No oatcakes. Fail.

British pancakes should probably be English pancakes. The scotch have their own, and the welsh have crempogs.

That is so creepy.

crepey.

chapati

dosa!

(I wouldn't vote dosa over british/english pancakes or crepes but they are often filled with delicious things so they deserve a mention)

so obviously crêpes

crêpes w/ galette-type stuff inside > galettes

I got bored of bad London crepe vendors (shout-out to the Hampstead guy in particular) in appx 1991, and will stan for US pancakes over crepes or Pancake Day cakes any day. Galettes are a different story, would have to put them on the savoury poll with dosas and chapati/poori.

No pikelets? Or are pikelets the same as silver dollars (I have a feeling they might be). Pikelets are like mini pancakes but usually a little sweeter and aimed at kids.

Silver dollars are just tiny pancakes.

'crêpe nutella' with banana is surely the greatest snack food ever.

I agree with those who are freaked out by that sausage pancake on a stick.

Quick shout for the humble crumpet (if we're going to include pikelets...) with unwise amounts of butter melting through. Yum.

lunch will be - crepe w/gruyere, smoked salmon, portabello mushrooms

Do blinis fall within the definition of pancake?

Whattabout latkes?

oh shit yeah potato pancakes are a huge omission

For some reason I feel like potato pancakes aren't really pancakes? They're like a whole separate food group I think, they fulfill a different need.

otm, i never feel pancakes and end up with latkes. they're part of the hashbrowns & fries genre.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

sorry.

Ahahahahahahha I can't believe my childhood reminiscing got 8 votes. The pancakes, however, are delicious.

no doubt.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain;
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.

To celebrate, I'm having nice big fluffy American pancakes - with fresh wild blueberries from my backyard, for that personal touch - for dinner.

post pics of these pancakes please!

I'm sorry - I ate them all before I got back to the board. Maybe next time.

Also important: extra dark can't-buy-in-stores maple syrup. So glad my uncle still makes it so I can get grade B and below. Even Dark Amber just isn't maple enough.
