From first hand experience of buying Scotch Pancakes (Scots? Shurely?) the American ones are lighter in both colour and texture. Merkin ones have more holes in, and are larger. At least the way I've been cooking them.
Of all those mentioned, traditional English panckes are the most obviously fried. We have them on Shrove Tuesday by tradition. But as mentioned before we've chosen to have American style pancakes on three occasions so far. Apols to my ancestors, but they are yummier.
Disclaimer: pancakes were made to finish off the goods in the larder/ pantry which could not be consumed during the Lenten fast. To eat them at any other time of year is sheer gluttony.
