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)
To illustrate it some more with images:
American Pancakes:
Pannenkoeken:
Crêpes:
‘Dutch/German’ Pancake:
Thanks for the effort posts, now I'm hungry...
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.
I'm Canadian so that's not our problem :)
