However, English pancakes should not be thick ... but, rather, quite thin, golden brown and just going a tiny bit crispy around the edges. Then folded into quarters and served with caster sugar and fresh lemon wedges.

Sorry but, as yummy as those luscious thick thingies in the bottom picture, oozing with syrup, look ... they are not (  ) what I call real pancakes!
In fact, my mother used to make something like that and I am sure that she called them drop scones.

Ok ok, I think healthier would be replacing maple syrup with hummus. Aaaaahhhh, jayzum. But if it's pancake day, I won't refuse them for dina, yum. Or waffles? Do those count?

For me, crepes are very thin English style pancakes. Therefore, English pancakes are slightly thicker. American style pancakes are smaller in diameter and a lot thicker and are similar to Scotch pancakes and drop scones.
An english pancake is at its best served with loads of lemon juice and sugar. I however, cant be arsed to faff around folding into triangles. I roll them up like a sausage shape, cut into and 4 scoff |

A little lemon and a little sugar - simpler is often best.
