It's not really a pancake if it's baked now is it? Every "pancake" I can think of is always pan-fried. What is it called in Dutch?

- ksherlock 5y agoIf it's a "Dutch baby" pancake, they're baked in frying pan. But they only thing Dutch about them is the name. They are, in fact, an American invention.
- Freak_NL 5y agoFunny; most Dutchmen won't know what is meant by a 'Dutch pancake' baked in an oven. There is indeed nothing Dutch about it. Pancakes here are similar to the British ones; thicker than crêpes, not fluffy like American pancakes. Pancakes are still a popular treat for children, and a good authentic pancake restaurant is certainly not the worst place you can end up in. (The crêpes you can buy with Nutella on it every 50m in tourist traps¹ are only for money laundering and foreign tourists still struggling to get a grip on Euro conversion rates.) 1: A good deal of Amsterdam's historic city centre.
