The Great American Pancake..

[real mad hatter]

...Where is it?...I've searched menus for this yummy dessert and I can't see one....Now this Thursday is National Pancake day...I love Crepes..But is there any Disney restaurant that serves them..In Crete there was a restaurant that specialised on over 100 varieties of Crepes ( Pancakes ) My favourite was the Ultimate strawberry..It had fresh strawberries,drizzled with strawberry syrup,and three big scoops of strawberry ice cream,then the chef would serve it at your table,not before pouring over a strawberry liquor and setting it alight..( The flame went out in seconds ) It tasted awesome..So have a missed a menu in my search.?...

But are Crepes not different to pancakes.
To me crepes are thin and quite often filled with savoury whereas "american Pancakes" are quite thick and drowned in Mapole Syrup

If you're searching dessert menus for pancakes, you're looking in the wrong place. You'll find them on plenty of breakfast menus, however.

I'm not really big on pancakes? However, Kona Cafe's Macadamia nut pancakes (for breakfast) are really good. As far a dessert crepes, my son hits the kiosk in France every year for crepes with chocolate. Chef Mickey's has blintzes... but thats about the only places I've experienced crepes or a anything close to a crepe

I keep forgetting that American pancakes are different than ours..The crepe is like a crumpet..Does America have crumpets.?..P.S...I prefer Maple syrup..

Yes, our pancake is essentially a Scottish crumpet, though I've read that you guys only brown them on one side whereas we usually do both. I think also the raising agents might be different. Do you do yours with yeast or baking powder?

Usually baking powder..

Oh, okay. So it's essentially the same.

I'd no idea pancakes were breakfast food till the first time I went to the US! Ours are very much like crepes but they are salted and have savory fillings, like grounded beef, chicken, vegetables and then covered with tomato sauce and cheese and they are considered lunch/dinner meals.

I was definitely impressed with American pancakes so much so that I now prefer them to our traditional ones.

I love regular American pancakes, but I don't tend to eat them much at WDW. I make pretty good ones at home so I want other things like omelets at WDW that I always tend to screw up at home.

I have to agree with @DisneyDebNJ the macadamia pineapple American, breakfast pancakes are great, and my favorite WDW breakfast. There is a crepe kiosk in France of the Worldshowcase serving dessert crepes. Also there is a dessert crepe on the Chefs menu. I don't know of any other place serving crepes in WDW. There used to be a chain of restaurants that served dinner crepes with savory fillings mentioned by @LuckyK. The chain was called "The magic Pan," I have not seen a restaurant in years however.

I have to say I was sort of impressed with the crepes in France and the *pluto blintzes* at Chef Mickeys I did add strawberries to our blintze .... wasn't bad at all!! (whipped cream is also available )

I have an excellent buttermilk pancake recipe, committed to memory. I'm famous for it, but only amongst my two kids and DW. In fact, I made them just this morning. I'll gladly share it if anyone's interested. And I don't mind admitting it comes from that famous inside trader Martha Stewart, but before she was incarcerated. I like to make them on Saturday mornings while listening to National Public Radio. Leave me alone until they're done, please. If you can get your paws on some Grade B Maple Syrup, more's the better, but raspberry jam will do in a pinch. Strong coffee while making them is mandatory...

Forget WDW - mine are better!

I love a great pancake and an excellent crepe. The kiosk in France has excellent crepes with easy access to the fabulous Grand Marnier slushy.

Kind of hard to see but this is a must indulge every visit now. Slushy and chocolate crepe

They can be....
Only if you are in a hurry. Or don't want to spend time making them from scratch.
I'm horrible about flipping pancakes. Now I'm in the mood for some blueberry pancakes!

i'd do kona cafe for breakfast if i wanted pancakes on property but if you want a variety like you described head over to I-drive to the I-hop aka international house of pancakes.
