📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Dutch pannenkoeken are large, thin pancakes about 30cm across, thicker than crêpes but thinner than American pancakes. Fillings like bacon, cheese, or apple are cooked into the batter, and they're eaten with 'stroop,' a sweet syrup, or powdered sugar. Specialty 'pannenkoekenhuis' restaurants are popular with families.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a pancake house beside a windmill in the countryside, pancakes bigger than the plates arrive and children pour on plenty of syrup.
