International_Pancakes

Look, I love pancakes. Everybody does! In fact, I believe that every culinary culture has some kind of pancake.

But here’s the deal. There’s a restaurant over by the highway that claims to serve “International” pancakes, but they are lying. All they offer is ‘Belgian’ waffles or ‘French’ toast.

Where are the delicious okonomiyaki from Japan? The aebleskiver from Denmark? Egg hoppers from Indonesia? I want to try ALL the pancakes.

So we’re collecting them here: InternationalPancakes.com.

My favorite part is the entirely arbitrary categorization. Is Pannenkoek savory or sweet? Where does a ‘flat’ pancake end and a crepe begin? If you shape a pancake in a shaped round pan (like the aforesaid hoppers) does that make them… a waffle?

You can sort and filter by these arbitrary categories:

And we’re just getting started here. If your favorite cultural pancake isn’t on the list - let me know!
