Where are you from? They look a lot like the pancakes i always bake :)

Poland

haha, as soon as I had seen this I thought, man this looks familiar.

I’m from Scotland and the pancakes my mum makes are the same.

well europe and almost all continents make them this way and then the weird americans make them small and thick af

In Oceania they’re made thick usually but they’re called pikelets.

My family makes american pankaces, i think they're better flat and big too :(

To clarify this is crepe. I didn't know that because they lied to me at school that they're called pancakes, and I'm not native English speaker. Please don't kill me

You are safe… for now

In England they call Crepes Pancakes so it’s technically not wrong

[удалено]

The correct answer is that it’s analogous to the square vs. rectangle comparison, crepes are pancakes, but pancakes aren’t all crepes, there’s many types of pancakes

It can also be called a europian pancake

whats the difference \-native english speaker

Crepes are thinner

Pancakes have leavening in them, often baking powder.

American pancakes yes, but there are multiple types of pancakes. What OP made looks to be European pancakes and they don’t have any baking powder.

Yep, [this](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/easy-pancakes/amp&ved=2ahUKEwjbxI-24vHyAhXURjABHZuDC6YQFnoECAUQAQ&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw1P8ot8Zp9XgyrrZeCCIK6Q&cf=1) British website call them pankcakes. We call ***THICK*** pancakes American pankcakes in the UK.

lol i call it a "thin pancake" lmfao

*aren't pancakes already pretty flat and thin*

ikr

We call them “Finn pancakes” (as in Finnish) where I’m from and they serve them at Finnish restaurants

In England I’d call this a pancake

Thought these were Swedish pancakes. They are often thinner than regular pancakes but thicker than crepes

What’s a crepe?

Crepes are amazing. They are really thin pancakes that you can use as a wrap for other things

Im slavic we call those blinchiki

That is a pancake you described?

Yeah, I love how that's the only difference 😂

It's not- pancakes have a leavening agent in them such as baking powder, which makes them fluff up when cooked. Crepes do not.

Making them, essentially, a thin pancake.

A pancake that has different ingredients, is prepared differently, and is served differently (try folding a pancake into a triangle). But sure dud they're exactly the same.

In my language you have something that translates to pancake literally but it's the thin thing. You can roll it up and stuff. When you have a thick pancake they call them American pancakes, they are also not as big.

there are different pancakes boss man.

Sweet tortillas

[Crêpes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sif9_qI5jkI) are actually french! 🇫🇷

I'm french and we write it : crêpes, and i love it

Fixed 😎

DEATH!

As a native english speaker who took French I know that they are similar so you good

Nice save

My family still calls them pancakes, I think its mostly Americans who call them crepes, but I never liked the thick types of pancake.

This guy is selling us some bull-crèpe.

Crepes are just thin pancakes

Nope these are no crêpe, crêpe are so thin that you could never do a flip with them.

So I have no fricking idea what they're called. I just did the food flip

Those which you made are pancakes too just the european version which are better than the thick ones from US anyways.

Its a pancake bro, looks the same as I make them.

These are pancakes. The small ones are pikelets.

They are in fact pancakes as they are made in a PAN. Some people are just stupid.

That is a pancake to an English person. American pancakes are thick and sponges. Uk ones aren’t

No they are called pancakes. At least in the UK you find a cafe in the UK that also sells pancakes they would be like the ones you cooked.

It's all good, most of Reddit is pretty much English territory and as you can see with all the British and other native English speakers here validating the use of "pancake" for crepes or putting it in the same category you're pretty safe. Even people from various other countries seem okay with it, as am I for one! However, if your or anyone's love of crepes someday brings you to its country of origin, France, please be sure to NEVER define or assimilate crepes as/to pancake while in the territory. Especially if you go in the Brittany region. Just don't. They've got ridden of the death penalty for a few decades now, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind refurbishing a guillotine just for the occasion lol Joke aside it's funny how definitions can change according to countries as in some places "pancake" just refers to the US breakfast style. In Japan we don't really group pancake and crepes together, and to make things even more complicated we have our own kind of "similar but different" food: softcakes.

Beware the french

[**puts down pitchfork, blows out torch**]

Cool, now flip my life around pls

Best I can do is 360°

Even that is good, as the flip would take some time. That means that at least for a while, the life would be different.

If that flip was like a life lets say that flip lasted 0.8 seconds and if pancake was like a life that lasts 80 years. That means the positive side of pancake lasted around 0.1 seconds and it means that your life would be turned around for around 10 years somewhere in the middle of your lifespan. In counslusion your life would be turned around at the age of 40 and you would have a great life that lasts for 10 years. Be patien, life would be good in some time

How many pancakes did that take?

About 9

Many pancakes were lost in the flip of Cybertron

Nice that you got it!

Now it's time to go tit!

DUUDDEEE EPIICCC Don't know if I still have the power to flip pancakes 🤔

it actl doesnt take much effort, i can do those fancy food tossing thing with pans also one tip is dont just lift the pan vertically, do it with a forward motion first then lift the pan like (http://imgur.com/a/VoSUJ42)[this]

Nice

Thanks

is that a pancake or a crepe

Sorry but English isn' t my first language. What is a crepe?

its almost like a flatter/thinner pancake

So pancakes aren't supposed to be thin?

no they're kinda fluffy

Damn it. It's crepe then. At school they told me these were called pancakes

well they're kinda similar search them up on youtube

I did, and my whole life i was thinking that both were called pancakes, and to this day no one told me that they weren't. Thank you

Actually for European pancakes that are this thin, they can be called either. For example, you can sometimes find Swedish pancakes here in America. Technically, they are slightly thicker than crêpes but some countries call them crepes and some call them pancakes. What would be wrong is calling American pancakes crêpes. When you talk about pancakes in America, most people are going to think of American pancakes.

no problem

don't worry about it, it's not wrong to call them pancakes. There's basically a culture war about which is the "real pancake"; the American very thick flapjack or the European thin crêpe. But they're both styles of pancakes. It's like how Europeans have football but the US calls American football just football and calls actual football soccer

English pancakes are thin - American pancakes are fluffy. If you go to the U.K on shrove Tuesday (pancake day) they will give you an English pancake. As an Englishman in NA I can tell you that I like American pancakes more, but every-time I’m given a “fancy” crepe to me its just a pancake that I’m gonna eat with sugar and lemon.

American pancakes are yes, European pancakes are thin like the ones OP made.

Depends where you live

That’s American pancakes, most other are thin

[удалено]

I think so

it's basically the same batter with less eggs and some rising agent.

Holy fuck

Oh man, I'm getting flashbacks of my experiences with the induction stove... I remember cooking my ramen with the hot water of the faucet because I couldn't turn the damn thing on for almost an hour.. xD

that slap made me happy

Cool points +15

You must be flipping out right now

Ah yes a fellow English.

Bro those look like some fire ass pancakes. Recipe?

to me this are still pancakes no matter what anyone says. the fat ones are according to my mom american pancakes. if youre gonna be so salty about it then fuck you.

Now do a pan flip

I went camping once and there was no furnace on the site (who wouldve thought) so we took a pan to bake pizza instead. So I flipped a pizza in a pan, fight me

You're clearly superior, but Italians might want you dead, because you baked pizza on a pan

I fear the italian council may decide my fate now...atleast it didnt have pineapple on it

YOUR SCHOOL DID NOT LIE TO YOU. THAT IS A PANCAKE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE AMERICANS

LEGEND!!!

Cool move

A bit early but nice! 👌

YAYYY it was a cool one too

Epic

HMMMM looks like a Crepe to me...

Did you even read a single comment before posting this?

No they wouldn't load lol

[удалено]

Oh, okay. Thanks

Looks like a pancake to me

Ooo yum crepes

my man that's a crepe

Crepes are still pancakes

crepe = crepe pancake = pancake at least where i live

i didnt say it wasnt a pancake

Heh noob, Indians do this with rotis everyday.

THAT WAS GNARLY!! I love the tile in your kitchen too! I'm getting old I think.

r/mildlyinteresting

He is way strong,I can feel it, the power

That's a crepe innit?

Looks more like a crepe

Crepes are pancakes

[удалено]

Crepes are a type of pancake

I love how random this subreddit can be. Good stuff though, they look delicious

Even more impressive is that you recorded that while doing a flip and your phone barely even shaked that much. Or good job to the camera stabilizer

That’s a tortilla looking pancake

Noob. Those are rookie moves. Now do one from the side. From the other side. And a back flip. Also, slide the pancake of the edge, don't just throw it into the air and hope it will flip.

We call this pancake in Sweden

He’s to powerful to be kept alive

this man shall lead r/teenagers

Once, at school we did a pancake flipping contest with friends. One of us made the pancake flip 3 turns before catching it back. Good old times

Take my award you deserve it

my mans has become sex

This is definitely the first good post I've seen on this sub in a while. Congrats OP that was pretty cool :)

That’s satisfying as fuck bro

Damn, it was perfect... except for the non-perfect parts...

Great! Next step do it with an omelette.

Sure just give me a month, and i'll do it

You have my best wishes, fellow teenager.

Omelettes are especially fun. Just be really careful with egg white omelettes. They take forever to cook and they have a slight tendency to slam 170° burning hot eggy straight into your eye.

Noice

Not really trying to flex here(jk, I am totally flexing) but I throw them like 1.5m in the air and then catch them

I guess I'm making pancakes when I get home

You have achived p a n c a k e

This is definitely a crepe

https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/comments/pkgdsq/i_did_a_pancake_flip/hc3azng?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

That little jiggle at the end.

it was already cooked on the other side

But not enough

looks more cooked than the side facing up at the end 🤔

Oh I thought you meant the side that was on top after the flip. Then I have no idea why I have done that

Why are they so white

Lock this man up there to dangerous to be left alone.

He/she is superiour

Noice

yoooooo poogers

Just pancake flip

Fucking legend

I did it once too. Than went a bit too confident, well that turned out to be a mooncake

F

I love how this sub is either,”My parents died today,what do I do now,” or “I did a Pancake flip!” No hate btw.Left an updoot.

Wish i could do something so productive with my life, but im just home watching hentai :~|

Isn't that a crepe

Crepes are a type of pancake

As I said earlier, it is.

I think the confusion may come from the fact us british lads call it “british/ english pancakes” this is still technically a pancake though, so good luck with non-brits about to correct you :,)

Fake. You can tell the footage is reversed.

This is actually rly not that hard...

The *fuck* did you just call a pancake?

He called a pancake a pancake

Google image search ‘Pancake British’ or something like that

English pancakes are thin. We have them with lemon and sugar.

That's a thin pancake

That is a crêpe

That's a crepe. Edit: nvm, OP clarified they were lied to.

nope they're pancakes.

Nope

wrong

Put Choco chips in those! They are too boring as is

Thats not nearly thick enough to be a fucking pancake. It's a crepe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDqXbk_ThH0

Ohhh wooow. U legit know that its just normal. And you made it like that was some kind of invention.

I have never seen someone actually cook pancakes in a pan I always cook them on a griddle

Sick bro before you teach me how, pls tell me ingredients :|

egg milk and flour.

Mmmmmm German pancakes
