Well, I’d consider Dutch culture to be western as well lol. Dutch pancakes are there own thing (not to be confused with a ‘Dutch Pancake’ in America, which is another different thing
We call the thicker, smaller pancakes ‘american’ pancakes.
Dutch pancakes (Pannenkoeken) are thinner and bigger in diameter. More like a crêpe. Though crêpes are thinner again.
The american ‘Dutch Pancake’ is a very fluffy egg pancake baked in a pan. (Also called a German Pancake or Dutch Baby Pancake) (there’s not much Dutch about it, because it originated in the US from someone of German descent)
All of them are super easy recipes! Though if you’re in America I would advise against making the German Pancake at the moment, because you need a lot of eggs for that one.
Similarly, the people called ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ in the US do not have Dutch ancestry for the most part. They were German and referred to their homeland as Deutschland, locals anglicized it to Dutchland, hence ‘Dutch’.
In our next class, we will discover the interesting history of the Jerusalem Artichoke…
