Dutch pancakes, also known as pannenkoeken, are a traditional dish from the Netherlands. They are larger and thinner than American pancakes but thicker than crepes. Made from a simple batter of flour, milk, and eggs, they can be served sweet or savory, often topped with ingredients like fruit, cheese, or bacon. These pancakes are typically cooked in a large skillet or frying pan, allowing them to spread out and achieve a wide diameter. Pannenkoeken are popular in Dutch culture and are often enjoyed as a meal at any time of the day, making them a versatile and beloved food.
