Yep that's right WYSI, American pancakes have baking powder, English pancakes are like crepes.

I don't recollect if I ate pancakes across the pond or not. It's been a long time ago.

My dad made The Best Pancakes in the World. They were a little sweet, and a little salty. Sounds weird, I know, but lemme tellya, they were awesome. And he was one of those people that didn't use a recipe, it was all in his head.

And while I cook like that most of the time myself, I have not ever been able to replicate his pancakes. The pancake dynasty died with him.

A little help from my American friends here? My son and I are in a debate regarding the thorny subject of pancakes. He contends that american pancakes must be made to a different recipe because they taste different, I say they are simply made smaller and thicker but the batter, i.e. eggs, flour, milk is the same either side of the Atlantic.Which of us is right?
