Those thick stodgy things Americans call pancakes, we dont eat in the UK.

Of course , there is .

In Poland we don`t make any


, we only make crepes with cheese ( not that cottage like serek wiejski -type ) but typical white polish cheese .

A filling of cheese is specially made; it contains cheese, egg yolks , sugar, raisins, vanilla, then it is rolled in crepes and fried in a frying pan until golden brown ( can`t be eaten raw must be fried coz it contains raw eggs) then topped with whipped cream or powder sugar .

The taste of such pancakes are different from those served in the U.S., but it is amazing.

Maybe something is lost in translation into English??
Crepes are the french method of pancakes, more aerated and thinner with crispy edges, in England usually served with honey and lemon than syrup. The same batter without sugar makes very passable Yorkshire puddings.

Oh right...So Pancakes are a Polish thing that no other nationality understands then...doh!


Make them the same - but we call ours pancakes they call theirs crepes.


which is also lovely with honey and cream - try it..its sex on a plate!

I dont put sugar in my pancakes either.

Crepes (naleśniki). I showed my students British pancakes and crumpets on Google Images and they say there is no name for them in Polish. Evidence for this is also that I can't find them in any shops here. They may be a type of pancake but they are not pancakes as we know them in the UK.

Maybe the name is "racuchy"

I've always called those pancake fritters, where fruit is added to the batter. Banana more often then apple for me. That recipe does sound nice, though I'd add a touch of cinnamon and brandy butter

Fritters, exactly. They are not the pancakes most Brits know.

I think of fritters more as a French type of donut cake.

In the UK fritters (apple or banana usually) are deep fried large chunks of fruit in batter. When on a menu as 'pan-cake' fritters they are much like catsoldier's photo. I find something amusing in the term French donut in the same way as a neighbour who would refer to Chinese restaurants as 'Chinese chipshops'.

Talking of french frying, I've read McDonald's wants to remove the word french from their fries. Pommes Frites in French. Where the English word fritter originates...probably.
