Scots' Pancakes it is then :p

Buckwheat pancakes come out darkish in color, about the same tint as pale pumpernickel. Definitely a starch food, with a somewhat tangy, faintly smokelike flavor. Tastes -- dark. Put that way it doesn't sound all that fun, but it is tasty enough, and comes up robust under flavorful syrup, rather than overwhelmed as a milder-flavored pancake might. Probably go well with dark treacle, though this treatment would doubtless give the plate an English accent.

The local Mexican restaurants with breakfasts and restaurants with bilingual menus show us the term has been adopted whole by Spanish speakers as a tasty novelty from el Norte: panqueques, pronounced "pan-KAY-kays."

Mom is trying out a five-grain pancake recipe that sounds made from scratch. If she likes it, she promises to send it along, and if you like, SG, I'll pass it along to you.

SG, how did the Boxing Day pancakes turn out?

In Russia they are called Bliny and are eaten preferably with sour cream and caviar.
I tried making them (the Blinys only, without the caviar) and found they need very slow cooking, as the buckwheat flour soaks up a lot of liquid. Merc's recipe using wheat/buckwheat half-and-half sounds like a good compromise.

See, I saw "buckwheat" on the packet J&J sent me, and I thought "bliny" and "savoury" straightaway. I'm thinking fish paté, shredded hot-smoked salmon and other yummies on buckwheat pancakes - would that be good? Not that I don't like maple syrup - but I'll save that for the buttermilk pancakes ...

I thought the American pancake originated in Scotland.
and I think we're all about the scotch pancakes here in the U.S.

I like mine with fruit or syrup. The 10 grain are especially good.

I've had crepe's, American Indian fry and an Indian breakfast pancake but there's nothing better than the original and best. pancake. mmm

oh and waffles too! esp Belgium style.

*blinks* original and best? English style 'pancakes' were being cooked up over here long before you guys came up with what you call pancakes. And I'm pretty sure French 'crepes' predate American pancakes too :P

American pancakes are scotch and not something the colonists made up but something adapted from Scotland?

and I know France and England has been around a while too. :P

That said. I don't know why I said original! because every country has their variation.

Oh sweetie, i was just joshing. :P It's original and best because it's what stands as original and best in your life :)

jfc!

jfc?

I would love some pancakes right now (wonders if one of the unmarked tupperware-full-o-cooking-dusts-and-powders in the cabinet is pancake mix.)

IHOP!

Have one close? Nearest to me is at Kenwood in Cincy. Too far to go for pancakes.
