edit: I love how Europeans still struggle to believe that these are what America sees as pancakes. For context, these buttermilk pancakes were so big that I only ordered two and could only eat half of the second one. If you went to our “International House of Pancakes(IHOP)” and ordered pancakes, this is what you’d get. America really is on another level.
Wow, that’s new to me
They are doughnuts. When Kennedy said “ich bin ein Berliner” he was claiming to be one of those.
Although Japanese souflee pancakes are about that thick.
what they are and how to call them is a highly debated topic accross the german speaking countries.
they are however baked in fat just like doughnuts, i don’t know if the used batter is the same however.
Wow, maybe less healthy then US pancakes.
this is dessert not breakfast food ;)
Cold pizza and doughnuts is the breakfast of champions!
To be perfectly honest I don’t think Ive actually had one in Berlin. I was binging on pfeffer brezel while I was on holiday in germany. but the shitty Norwegian version is made with doughnut dough.
Suzie Izzard reference again :))
Bit late to the party, but this is a German internal culture war. Basically each village has its own name for those. Some names make more sense then others… Berlin calls them essentially pancakes other places call them Berliner and no one is giving an inch on what to call them.
