Pancakes anyone?

What style of pancakes do you prefer? Thick and fluffy, or thin and crepe-like?

My family has always made them Scandinavian style - thin, cripsy on the edges, but soft on the inside. Just eggs, flour, milk, dash of salt, and sometimes some cinnamon/cardamom in the batter. No butter on top (not needed since there is more than enough in the pan ). Served with real maple syrup, or jam.

And the result...

Thick and fluffy for me. I also like them with some texture; e.g., multi-grain pancakes with bananas and walnuts. And for me, the only acceptable topping are real butter and real maple syrup.

Crepes for me, with ham and brie.

I love all sorts of batter-y breakfast bounty, from crepes to pancakes to waffles. I'm particularly fond of waffles with hot blueberry compote, yogurt and a side of bacon, slightly chewy.

That's a favorite of mine, too, but I thought we were discussing pancakes served qua pancakes.

I like my pancakes fluffy, but not particurally thick. Maple syrup is nice, but I'll settle for Mrs. Butterworth's

Crêpes-like. As a matter of fact, I'd rather have crêpes, period. With maple syrup.

Thin and crepe like for me.

My Mom used to make loads of them on Sunday morning and we would eat them hot out of the pan. Mmmmm

Thin, thinner than creps (Sweden-style )

With some icecream and strawberry jam.

Or, fat, american with some syrup.

(I guess I'm just hungry right now ^^)

Finely grate 1 onion. Finely grate 2-3 Idaho potatos into the onion, mixing frequently to prevent (limit) the extremely fast browning (what little you get will go away later). Put mixture in a strainer and shake to remove excess liquid. Add two eggs, 1/4 cup sour cream and S&P to taste. Beat to incorporate. Sift in flour until the mixture has the consistency of normal pancake batter. Fry like standard pancakes in hot butter and a little canola oil in a nonstick pan. Serve with...whatever: grated Pargigiano-Reggiano, sour cream, applesauce, caviar, smoked salmon, trout or sturgeon, or even pastrami. They rule. Regards, Huntsman
