I'm agreeing with you. It says cake in the name.

I did cut it up. Well "cut up".
I smooshed it together with the raw power of my hands!
I shouldn't be allowed to cook.

This compilation of posts made me laugh way too much.
I should try this, as I happen to have a rice cooker.

This looks so tasty but I won't ever be fooled again by the yellow thing on top you americans put on top of pancakes when I came there.
Something needs to be done about that, I swear to God.
I did just that, dear god it's like I gained 10 pounds just looking at the thing.
And I'm pretty sure butter is supposed to not taste like cardboard made of fat too.
and I didn't know there was such a thing as too much sugar too.
I don't know what to say...you must have gotten some shitcakes. Was this your server?
I normally don't put butter on top of mine
I tested multiple places and I'm pretty sure it's just that I'm not used to what you call butter (in the same way that the shit you call cheese is really not cheese, I'm not even sure if it have anything to do with milk myself)...I don't know what to say...you must have gotten some shitcakes. Was this your server?

I guess there's a difference in how the US regulate how butter is made...

What are you talking about? Are you one of those people that thinks Americans only eat American cheese? My local grocery store carries like 100 varieties of cheese, imported, domestic, all delicious.
Are you sure someone didn't put margarine or some other oil-based spread on your pancake? Because I've had butter in other countries and it is the same as the butter we have here in the states. Unless you get cultured butter, which we have also.
Like another poster said, you went to the wrong places.

My favorites:
French crêpe with Nutella/chocolate creme:
(you can buy them like that but packed in the store btw, then put in microwave for 10 sec)
American pancake with maple syrup:
German Pfannkuchen with cherries:
The one in the OP doesn't look very appealing TBH, looks like a giant dry muffin.
However, it reminds me of our nice Dampfnudel (with vanilla sauce):
It is cooked in a similar way, using a closed pot, that's why it translates as "steam-noodle".
The crust on the bottom is salty btw

I'll be coming back for quite some time so I'll have time to sample more and see or starve after the fact :/.
As far as cheese goes, no really it's not even close, the thing they call bleu is something that probably didn't even get bacteria to begin with.
But they're tasteless that way!My favorites:

Do them yourself it's not only better but doesn't even take much time.

But more than 10 seconds! I need them NOW! (yeah the supermarket ones don't taste that good)
American pancake with maple syrup:
Is that a lump of butter on those pancakes? If so...why?
Chuckie
Member
I do that on my poffertjes too. Why? Because it tastes awesome!
(It has to melt first ofcourse)
Poffertjes I can understand but this one already has syrup on it...
you need that slight salt kick.

Americans.
(I don't know, I don't add butter as it's fatty enough for me. But I wouldn't mind it once melted. Butter is awesome)

This is the only way a pancake should be.
Thin, with mounds of sugar and a tiny squeeze of lemon on top.
Yes.
None of that thick spongy American shit.
I would slap anybody who tried to give me that for breakfast

Putting salty butter on a stack of pancakes is like bringing Stoya to bed and had her rosebud on your face as you go down.
Tell me more.

I bet you also like the burnt edges of the brownie pan.
These are not pancakes, they're crepes with caster sugar and lemon juice.
Here's a recipe for crepes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/crepes-suzette-recipe2.html
British people confuse crepes and pancakes all the time. They're just not the same thing whatsoever.
You, sir, would be on the wrong end of my firing squad.

I think it has cake part solely in english version of this word though. Hence the confusion.
Same thing with donuts when it comes to english vs some other languages.
I'm French. We call these scones. I love you Brits though, but I'll blame anything on you. It's a birthright.
we call them scones too - they're biscuits in the US (and Japan at least)

BTW, I tried that thing in my rice cooker yesterday... What happened?
The top didn't cook. At all. Sadness
Unless you have a timer, you have to keep resetting the button.
Yeah I know. I think he assumed I was American because I'm well built and have a movie star's accent.
As a Wisconsinite, all I can say is piss off. There's a reason our cheeses win so many worldwide competitions.

I'm going to try this on the weekend.
Also big thick chocolate chip pancakes drenched in maple syrup cannot be beat.

I tried, but when I did that I just got an error message on it; I'm assuming it means it was already too hot and didn't want to heat more.
This is what I have:
