What is pannekoek?

Pannekoek, also known as Dutch pancakes or pannenkoeken, is a traditional Dutch dish. They are typically larger and thinner than American pancakes, and often have a slightly sweet flavor.

Pannekoek can be served in a variety of ways, with sweet or savory toppings such as powdered sugar, butter, fruit, cheese, bacon, or ham. Some popular varieties include apple and cinnamon, bacon and cheese, and stroopwafel (a Dutch caramel waffle topping).

Pannekoek can be made with a variety of flours, including wheat, buckwheat, and spelt. They can also be made with milk, eggs, and butter, and are typically cooked on a griddle or in a large frying pan.

In the Netherlands, pannekoek is often eaten for dinner rather than breakfast, and it is a popular dish for families to make together. There are also many pancake restaurants throughout the country that specialize in serving a wide variety of pannekoek dishes.
