A crepe is like a bigger pancake and I suppose it's different from American Style Pancakes. But really, who gives a crepe?

No, crepes are thinner & cooked on a griddle, pancakes are thicker & cooked on a heavy based frying pan

American style pancakes are not pancakes. Or crepes.

Americans have funny ideas about what foodstuffs are called.

A crepe is something you have as soon as you wake up in the morning. A pancake is what you have for breakfast

Scotch pancakes are smaller & even more thicker and American pancakes are ever more thicker which you make stacks out off, drizzle with maple syrup & have with bacon

American pancakes have baking powder or seafood raising flour so they fluff up

I ordered pancakes for breakfast, lovely hotel in the Cotswolds.

They served American pancakes.

Very dissapointed. Very very...

Pancakes don’t either…… where did you learn to cook?

Self raising flour has a raising agent in it. That’s what pancakes are made with .

All 3 are the same ingredients, it all comes down to how you cook it, that makes them different

The main difference is that pancake batter has a raising agent in it, such as baking powder or baking soda, and crepe batter does not. This means that pancakes are thicker and fluffy while crêpes are thin and flat.

Erm…. I’ve always made pancakes with plain flour, eggs and milk…. No raising agent

- who knew all these years I had it wrong…

But crispy crepes with Nutella is just the best
