Pancakes are sometimes difficult to cook because they stick to the pan. If you have that problem, try using an IRON skillet instead of stainless steel. Very nice instructable. As an American, I am surprised they are called "american pancakes." I just thought they were pancakes.
It seems what is named "pancake" seems to vary a lot with the country. In Brazil, what we call a pancake is a pasta roll filled usually with ground meat and covered with sauce.
To Americans they're pancakes, but they're also known as flapjacks. In other parts of the world pancakes can be referred to as different things eg. crepes, pikelets, hotcakes or griddle cakes. I'm sure there are probably other names for them too. The 'American' probably helps readers to identify the style of pancakes before clicking into the Instructable and reading the whole thing. Cheers, From a Non American.
In South Africa - This is a flapjack or a really big crumpet. Pancakes are something completely different. They are made to fill an entire pan and they are paper thin, usually eaten rolled up with cinnamon sugar and lemon juice.
take the sweet ready-made sort of thin pancake, then mix up melted dark chocolate and that cream with baileys in, then cover your pancakes with that mixture and roll them. Bet you can't eat anymore than three :P :P
Maybe i should make an instructable on them :)
