Pancakes - British or American?

Tweet

I grew up eating American pancakes, those big, fluffy, delicious cakes covered in butter and maple syrup . The Man is a Brit, and he doesn't accept the concept of the "cake" in pancakes. British pancakes are more like crepes - heavy on the egg and very, very thin. No maple syrup. He sprinkles sugar on them. As a treat, I made him British pancakes this morning, and I made them pretty delicious if I do say so myself. He had his with sugar on them, I rolled my sausage links up in mine to make "pigs in a blanket". He shuddered at the very idea. I have to admit that I like American pancakes. They are fluffy and filling and keep the plates clean by soaking up the excess maple syrup. I think that British pancakes are like making an omelette with flour. But I don't mind the change now and again. Have you eaten one or both of these kinds of pancakes? Which do you prefer? How many pancakes can you eat at one sitting?
