Not to be confused with the Dutch baby, traditional Dutch pancakes, or "pannenkoeken" in Dutch, are enjoyed all over the country by young and old. The pancakes are bigger and thinner than the thick and fluffy American pancakes, but not quite as thin as French crepes. The pancakes can be topped with sweet or savoury toppings, or a combination of both. Enjoy!

Try and mix almond butter with maple syrup. It becomes a thick paste. It is so utterly delicious on pancakes and waffles.

Big winner! I have been looking for a plant-based replacement for my family's weekend breakfast crepe recipe. This is it!
Weronika - June 1, 2024, 1:29 p.m.
PUL, you never disappoint! Thank you Sadia and the team! Delicious and very easy to make! This recipe will stay with me on a weekly basis :)

Gosh thanks for the glowing review, Weronika!

Not sure why mine weren't very fluffy, turned out a wee bit rubbery but great flavor ๐
PUL Team - May 21, 2024, 9:05 a.m.
Hey Pat! Dutch pancakes are typically flat, similar to crepes, not fluffy. If yours turned out rubbery, it might be because the batter was over-mixed. This over-mixing strengthens the gluten network, leading to a tougher texture. If you're giving the recipe another go, try mixing until *just* combined. I hope this helps, and happy to hear the taste was still enjoyed :)
Pat Ess - May 21, 2024, 9:29 p.m.
I think I took the directions in step 2 too literally, I'm certain I overmixed it. Good to know, thanks for the info!
Hanneke de Bruijn - May 8, 2024, 5:25 p.m.
Mmmmm it is so good
Lee Don Borkwood - April 17, 2024, 9:40 p.m.
This gave me a laugh. These are English pancakes!

Hey Lee! Traditional Dutch pancakes inspire them, although they are similar to British/English pancakes. From what we know, English pancakes tend to be a bit thinner than Dutch and are often served with sugar and lemon juice. Dutch pancakes, also known as "pannenkoeken", are served with a wide variety of toppings, from sweet to savoury. ๐

So easy and fluffy! We paired this with a Berry smoothie for breakfast on a Sunday morning
Romane Q - April 3, 2024, 10:20 a.m.
Super easy, fast. I love it. I've done it this morning. I used spelled flour, it gave a lovely taste. Thanks for this recipe!!
PUL Team - April 3, 2024, 5:06 p.m.
So glad that you enjoyed the pancakes, Romane! Thanks for sharing your experience with it ๐ค

What a wonderful and easy recipe!
Bee - March 7, 2024, 3:44 p.m.
Love them! and this is actually the first time I found a good recipe for dutch pancakes that donโt break down! Definitely making them more often :)
PUL Team - March 7, 2024, 8:04 p.m.
So happy to hear, Bee, thank you! ๐
Deborah - Feb. 16, 2024, 10:01 a.m.
These are great. We love the vanilla flavour. I made 8 pancakes and added more liquid than the recipe asked for, because the batter looked quite thick.
PUL Team - Feb. 18, 2024, 2:49 a.m.
We're so happy that the pancakes were enjoyed, Deborah!
Enja - Feb. 13, 2024, 8:09 p.m.
These were great! Normally my husband makes the pancakes in our house and he always goes for American style ones. Today is Pancake Day in the UK so I made these for dinner and they are much more like the ones I enjoyed growing up in Germany. Super easy and quick.
PUL Team - Feb. 14, 2024, 6:18 a.m.
Aw love that the pancakes were enjoyed as part of the festivities, Enja!
Jasmin - Jan. 20, 2024, 12:01 p.m.
Made them this morning with spelt and buckwheat flour and let them rest for an hour. They came out perfectly! Just like on the markets. Topped them with choc hazelnut spread and fruit on the side. This one is a keeper <3
PUL Team - Jan. 20, 2024, 7:20 p.m.
Yayy we're so happy to hear, Jasmin! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the pancakes ๐
Anna - Jan. 12, 2024, 8:56 p.m.
I confirm as well, the great recipe. Thank you!
Adel Strydom - Jan. 5, 2024, 11:26 a.m.
So good! I only had oat milk and they came out perfectly. They resemble South African pancakes really well but minus the eggs ๐
Adel Strydom - Jan. 5, 2024, 11:27 a.m.
I topped them with cinnamon sugar and a squeeze of lemon which is the SA way
PUL Team - Jan. 5, 2024, 8:34 p.m.
Mmm sounds lovely, Adel, thank you! ๐
Nicole Mostofa - Dec. 17, 2023, 1:27 p.m.
I added in a banana for 3/4 of the remaining batter to use up old banana and it worked well.
Joey & Sharona von den hoff - Dec. 9, 2023, 12:14 p.m.
We eat this multiple times a week now
PUL Team - Dec. 9, 2023, 11:55 p.m.
Aww so happy it's being enjoyed, Joey and Sharona! ๐
Ana-Claudia - Oct. 22, 2023, 11:28 p.m.
Very delicious and very easy to make! I made them together with my 2 year old.. she really helped!! I actually used whole wheat flour. This will be my go to recipe for quick pancakes!
