'''Pancakes''' are a type of [[flatbread]] prepared from a sweet [[batter (cooking)|batter]] that is cooked on a hot [[griddle]] or in a [[frying pan]]. They exist in several variations in many different local [[cuisine]]s. Most pancakes are [[quick bread]]s, although some are also made using a [[yeast (baking)|yeast]]-raised or fermented batter.

'''American''' or '''Canadian pancakes''' contain a [[raising agent]], usually [[baking powder]], and contains different proportions of eggs, flour and milk, which create a thick batter. If desired, one could add [[cinnamon]] and sugar, giving the pancake additional flavor. This batter is either spooned or poured (1/4 measuring cups are good for pancakes) onto a hot surface, and spread to form a circle about ¼ or ⅓ inch (1 cm) thick. The raising agent causes bubbles to rise to the uncooked side of the pancake, at which point the pancake is ready to be flipped. The resulting pancake is very light in texture and is often served at [[breakfast]] topped with [[maple syrup]], [[butter]], [[peanut butter]] or [[fruit]]. In England, this type of pancake is quite rare, and they are therefore called European pancakes. '''Vermont pancakes''' usually have a secondary grain added to the wheat flour, either oatmeal or buckwheat flour. Both of these recipes require more baking powder to leaven. The texture is coarser and the flavor more intense, suggesting toasted nuts and cheese.

In the U.S., pancakes can also be referred to as '''hotcakes''', '''griddlecakes''', or '''flapjacks'''. A typical portion served in restaurants is three to four pancakes of approximately 14 cm (5 inch) in diameter. A smaller number may be ordered by requesting a "short stack." Diners in the U.S. usually serve one or two pancakes of approximately 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter. A "silver dollar" pancake refers to a pancake about 7 cm (3 inches) in diameter - these are usually served in groups of five or ten. In the [[United States]] it is traditional to eat pancakes or [[waffles]] as part of a weekend [[breakfast]] or [[brunch]].

In England, pancakes have three key ingredients: plain [[flour]], [[Egg (food)|egg]]s, and [[milk]]. The batter is quite runny and forms a thin layer on the bottom of the [[frying pan]] when the pan is tilted. It may form some bubbles during cooking, which results in a pale pancake with dark spots where the bubbles were, but the pancake does not rise. These pancakes may be eaten as a sweet dessert with the traditional topping of [[lemon]] juice and [[sugar]], or wrapped around savory stuffings and eaten as a main course. When baked instead of fried, this batter rises (despite not having any raising agents; it rises because the air beaten into the batter expands) and is known as [[Yorkshire pudding]]. English pancakes are similar to [[French cuisine|French]] [[crêpe]]s, and [[Italian cuisine|Italian]] [[crespelle]], but are not "lacy" in appearance.

In [[Scotland]] and [[Ireland]] pancakes, locally known as '''drop scones''', '''pancakes''' or '''gridle cakes''', are more like the American variation and are served as such (see below). Scottish pancakes are made from self-raising [[flour]], [[Egg (food)|egg]]s, [[sugar]] and [[milk]] with Irish pancakes being made with soda-flour and buttermilk.

== what do you have against motorcycle racing? ==

Pancakes similar to the North American pancake but smaller (usually about 3.5 in / 9 cm in diameter) are known in the [[UK]] as '''Scotch pancakes''' or '''drop-scones''' (after the traditional method of dropping batter onto a [[griddle]] (a ''girdle'' in [[Scots language|Scots]])) , and in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] as '''pikelets'''. They can be served with [[jam]] and [[cream]] or just with butter. In the U.S., these are known as "silver dollar pancakes" since each individual pancake is approximately the size of a U.S. [[silver dollar]] (with [[President]] [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] on the face, known as the [[Eisenhower Dollar]], last minted in 1978). In [[Scotland]], pancakes are rarely served as a breakfast item, but are more commonly considered a teacake or dessert. They are available plain, or as a fruit pancake with [[raisin]]s baked inside. In Scotland larger thinner teacakes made to a similar recipe are called [[crumpet]]s. These are cooked on the girdle on one side until it is browned, then lightly cooked on the other side. Both Scotch pancakes and crumpets can be made with plain flour and baking soda as an alternative to self-raising flour.<ref>[http://www.scotland.org.uk/features/pancakes.htm Travel Scotland - Recipes – Scotch Pancakes], [http://www.visitdunkeld.com/ayrshire-pancakes.htm Tour Scotland, Ayrshire Pancakes]</ref>

'''French crêpes''', popular in [[France]], [[Quebec]], and [[Brazil]] (where they're usually called pancakes, or merely crêpes) are made from flour, milk, and eggs. Due to their thin consistency, they are usually served with a large amount of filling, widely ranging from [[fruit]] and/or [[ice cream]], to [[seafood]] (in Brazil, most usually ground meat).

commonly eaten with lemons and powdered sugar, although [[jam]] is sometimes used as well. The pancakes eaten in [[Germany]], however, are of the English variety. They are called ''Pfannkuchen'', although in some areas (Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxonia) that is instead the local name for ''[[Berliner (pastry)|Berliner]]'', a type of [[doughnut]]. Pancakes are called ''Eierkuchen'' there. In [[Swabia]], cut pancakes (''Flädle'') are a traditional [[soup]] ingredient.

In '''Austria''' pancakes are called '''[[Palatschinken]]''', a word derived from Latin '''placenta''' by way of Romanian, and are usually filled with apricot jam, chocolate sauce or hazelnut spread. Similar pancakes with similar names can be found throughout the former '''[[Austria-Hungary]]''' (today Austria, [[Slovenia]], Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia), see ''[[Palatschinken]]''.

'''Scandinavian pancakes''' are similar to English pancakes. They are traditionally served with jam and/or ice cream or whipped cream, although they may also be served as a main dish with a variety of savory fillings. Traditional [[Sweden|Swedish]] variations can be somewhat exotic. Some resemble English pancakes with a tiny diameter; these are called ''plättar'', and they are fried several at a time in a special pan. Others resemble German pancakes but include fried [[pork]] in the batter; these are cooked in an oven. There are also [[potato pancakes]], called ''raggmunk''. These contain shredded raw potato and, sometimes, other vegetables. If the actual pancake batter is left out, the fried cakes of grated potatoes are called ''rårakor''. Both the latter versions are eaten traditionally with pork rinds and/or [[lingonberry]] jam. Norwegians like their pancakes with sugar or blueberry jam, and it is often served with a hot soup along with it. Norwegians eat a great deal of rice pudding/porridge - leftovers from this can be made into a sort of small pancakes. These small pancakes (whith rice or like the Swedish "plättar") the Norwegians call "lapper".

In [[Malaysia]] and [[Singapore]], a pancake-like snack known as [[roti canai]] (Malaysia) or [[roti prata]] (Singapore) is made with a filling, usually cheese or [[kaya (jam)|kaya]] but occasionally bean paste, ground peanut, blueberry or custard. There are other interesting variations, such as those made with soya bean partially replacing the flour. A different type of pancake called '''ban chean kuih''' (曼煎糕) filled with cane sugar and sweet corn is popular in [[Penang]].

In [[Mexico]], they are generally called "hotcakes" rather than "pancakes." Similar in style to pancakes served in the U.S., hotcakes are more often made by mixing or replacing the wheat flour with corn. In addition to being a popular breakfast item at restaurants throughout the country, it is not uncommon to see hotcake vendors on the streets of [[Mexico City]] and other cities as well as during the local celebrations of small towns through the day and evening; the vendors usually sell a single hotcake topped with different sauces such as condensed milk, fruit jam or a sweet goat milk spread called "cajeta."

Pancakes are comparable to [[waffle]]s without syrup traps, although waffles often contain more eggs and are cooked in a waffle iron.

Most types of pancakes, but not the [[Brittany|Breton]] [[galette]], are cooked one side at a time on a griddle and flipped halfway through the cooking process to cook the other side of the pancake. The process of tossing or flipping is part of the essence of the pancake, and one of the skills that separates the experienced cook from the beginner.

North American pancakes can be made sweet or savory by adding ingredients such as [[blueberry|blueberries]], [[strawberries]], [[cheese]], [[bacon]], [[banana]]s or [[chocolate chip]]s to the batter. In addition, some like to add spices such as [[nutmeg]] or [[cinnamon]], or flavoring agents such as [[vanilla]] extract, to the batter to give it a more interesting flavor.

English pancakes can be stuffed after cooking with a wide variety of sweet or savory fillings. Both versions can be sweetened after cooking by pouring on syrup or sprinkling with powdered [[sugar]].

In [[Canada]] and the [[United States]], the pancake is usually a [[breakfast]] food, but it is so popular that a franchised restaurant called [[International House of Pancakes]], commonly called IHOP, has more than 1,000 restaurants serving at all hours of the day.

In [[Australia]] and [[United Kingdom|Britain]], pancakes are eaten as a [[dessert]], or served savory with a main meal. However, in Australia, they can sometimes be eaten as a main meal, as they are in the U.S. and Canada.

In the [[Netherlands]], pancakes are called [[Pannenkoeken]] and eaten at [[dinner]]time. Pancake [[restaurant]]s are popular family restaurants and serve many varieties of sweet, savory, and stuffed pancakes. Pannenkoek are slightly thicker than crepes and usually quite large (12" or more) in diameter. The batter is egg-based and the fillings can include sliced apples, cheese, ham, bacon, candied ginger and many other ingredients - alone or in combination - as well as "stroop", a thick syrup. One classical Dutch filling is a combination of bacon and stroop.

In [[Sweden]] and [[Finland]], it is traditional to eat [[peasoup|yellow pea soup]] followed by pancakes on Thursdays. However, there is no such nationwide consensus regarding pancakes consumption on the other days of the week.

In the [[Philippines]], pancakes are also served with syrup (maple or imitation corn syrup) but are also served with either evaporated milk, margarine (as butter is not very popular in the Philippines), sugar or condensed milk. Usually, they are served for breakfast, but there are some stalls selling smaller pancakes with margarine and sugar on top for snacking. [[Pillsbury]] is a popular brand here.

A smaller pancake, often called a "silver dollar" pancake, is sometimes used in the creation of [[hors d'oeuvres]] in place of [[crackers]] or other bread-like items.

Banana pancakes, in particular, are a popular menu item in Western-oriented backpackers' cafes in many Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, India, and China.

[[Dosa]] can be said to be an [[Indian]] pancake. It is prepared by fermenting of rice batter. Many other ingredients like [[black gram]] are added to suit each person's taste.

(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 fat and rich foods could be used up before [[Lent]].

It is traditional that pancakes should be turned over by tossing them in the air using the pan and without using any other implements. This is a tricky manoeuvre and frequently results in spoiled pancakes.

Charity or school events are often organized on Pancake Day. One popular event is a "pancake race" in which each participant carries a pancake in a frying pan. While running, race participants must toss their own pancake in the air and catch it with their frying pan. This event originated in the town of [[Olney]], [[England]] in 1444 when a housewife was still busy frying pancakes to consume before fasting during Lent when she heard the [[bell (instrument)|bell]]s of [[St Peter and St Paul's Church]] calling her to the Shriving Service. Eager to get to church, she ran out of her house still holding the frying pan complete with pancake, and still wearing her [[apron]] and headscarf.

Since 1950, every Shrove Tuesday, the towns of [[Olney, Milton Keynes|Olney]], [[England]] and [[Liberal, Kansas]], USA have competed in the International Pancake Race. Eligible competitors (local women only) race along a previously agreed course and their times are compared to determine the international winner.
