Pannekoek

Description

Pannekoek is a variety of Dutch pancakes that are somewhere between American pancakes and crêpes in terms of thickness, consisting of milk, flour, salt, and eggs. In the Netherlands, pannekoeken are usually eaten for dinner, lunch, or dessert, but rarely for breakfast. They are typically served with molasses syrup ( stroop ), sugar, apples, and cinnamon, but when made as a hearty lunch, some cooks like to add bacon and cheese to plain pancakes. Pannekoeken are also popular in Belgium and South Africa, where it is common to serve them with cinnamon sugar and a single lemon wedge. South Africans love to eat the pancakes when it is cold and raining outside, so much that the cold, damp weather is known as pancake-weather in the country.
