What is is pancakes a dessert?

Pancakes are not necessarily considered a dessert. They are a type of breakfast or brunch food that is made with a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a leavening agent such as baking powder or yeast.

However, pancakes can be served as a dessert when they are topped with sweet ingredients like whipped cream, fruits, syrups, or chocolate chips. In some places, pancakes are also eaten as a dessert with savoury toppings such as cheese and ham.

So, whether or not pancakes are considered a dessert largely depends on how they are served and which ingredients are added to them.
