Real pancakes do in fact seem to be pretty close to pikelets in ingredients and look. However, real pancakes are served with a bit of butter (optional) and real maple syrup.Daystar Clarion said:I too, think American/Canadian pancakes have a striking resembelence to pikelets.Where I come from, these are call pikelets.
They're like crumpets, but not nearly as good.
The poor or less refined may substitute fake maple syrup or some sort of fruit slop but you can't blame them when they grew up in places where white flower+water+pepper is called gravy.
Real pancakes are however nothing like crumpets in look, texture, toppings, or preparation method. I believe crumpets are just unrefined English Muffins
That's what wars are about, you know. Not politics, but food ownership.

Chips are a manly food for manly men.
Fries are inferior in their manliness and are of course, french.
