What are "American pancakes"?
American pancakes recipe, is a very popular term on the Internet. By the name of "American Pancakes" (they also have the name "Canadian", and are sometimes called hotcakes, griddlecakes, or flapjacks) are called pancakes, slightly thicker and narrower in diameter, and are usually served for breakfast, as two or three pancakes grouped together on a plate, topped with natural or artificial maple syrup and butter, and often served with toppings, such as bacon, toast , eggs or sausages.
Other popular toppings include jam, peanut butter, nuts, fruit, honey, powdered sugar, whipped cream, cane syrup, and molasses. American pancakes are similar to Scottish pancakes (Scottish pancakes are slightly smaller in diameter - about 9 cm, and are usually served in the afternoon, at tea time).
These thick pancakes are made from a batter that contains eggs, flour, milk, and a leavening agent, such as baking powder. Yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, apples, pieces of chocolate, cheese, or sugar can also be added to the dough. Spices such as cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg can also be used. Yogurt is added to make the pancakes moist and soft. American pancakes should be about 1 cm thick and about 10 cm in diameter.
The oldest historically verified data say that pancakes were made around 5 centuries BC. They were made from wheat flour, olive oil, honey and sour milk, and people of that time consumed them for breakfast.
