In Denmark we have pandekager (pancakes) and æbleskiver. The section about æbleskiver is perfectly fine, but I think Denmark should be added to the Swedish/Norwegian one as well. The Swedish "pannkakor" are identical to the Danish "pandekager". So my suggestion is to either add Denmark to the headline or change the headline to Scandinavia.

If you decide to include Denmark in the section, the part about æbleskiver could perhaps be moved down as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.255.34.167 (talk) 18:07, 27 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I actually think æbleskiver should be on a separate page, as it has nothing to do with pancakes. It's not even the same dough. Mesc45 (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

"Blintzes (Russian: блинчики blinchiki) are thin crêpes made without yeast."
Blintzes (Russian: блинчики blinchiki) are thin crêpes made without yeast.

This sentence is weak and underrepresenting whan Blinchiki are.
 * 1) Blinchik is diminutive for blin. Simple as.
 * 2) Blinchiki don't always meet the kosher-ness requirements, as some blinchiki are full of "cheese and bacon" filling.
 * 3) In Russian retail, blinchiki are way beyond Jewish-styled blintzes, including tvorog variants, berry jam variants, condensed milk variants and so on. The pastry may also vary. The shape also varies, instead of sausage-shaped ones Russian factories make rectangular-shaped ones. All while the nalistniki word is not represented in the convenience stores of Russia.

Æbleskiver is not the danish version of pancakes
Æbleskiver has nothing to do with pancakes. In Denmark we make traditional crepes pancakes, which we eat all year. Æbleskiver is an entire different dough and only eaten during christmas. No dane would call æbleskiver pancakes! Please delete or edit.

Bonus info: danish pancakes are often made with beer instead of milk in the dough. Preferably a pilsner. Mesc45 (talk) 14:24, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

The following statement should be removed: "It is a type of batter bread". This is incorrect. American pancakes specifically may be defined as 'batter bread', in which case that should be specified, but that is an inaccurate description of pancakes as a whole (the topic of the page). Furthermore, I believe 'batter bread' is a somewhat nonsensical description, even for american pancakes.

Wikipedia and its contributors should endeavour to distance themselves from the heavily Americanised perspective that is pervasive through so many articles; this is a place for objective information, as far removed from perspective-bias as possible. 2A02:C7F:662E:5000:8D2:23BF:C2C7:205C (talk) 13:56, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: I may just be missing something important (in which case please do correct me), but from what I can see from this article, all pancakes are made using batter, no? Additionally, why would batter bread be nonsensical – they are bread made of batter? Tollens (talk) 18:47, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Quote from the section on regional varieties, Germany:

Usage of a leavening agent or yeast is uncommon.

This is incorrect as baking powder is used widely as a leavening agent for pancakes (Eierkuchen or Pfannkuchen) in Germany. Yeast is often used in the regional variety eaten in the East of Central Germany which is called „Plinse“, „Blinse“ or „Plinz“ and apparently missing from the English Wikipedia altogether.

This information can also be found on the German Wikipedia: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plinse

Therefore, the sentence should be changed to: The use of leavening agents such as baking powder or soda is not uncommon. Yeast is also used, for example in a variety in the East of Central Germany which is known as „Plinse“, „Blinse“, or „Plinz“. 2A02:3036:260:2916:CCDC:C653:7CDD:3889 (talk) 20:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, however you linked to plinse, while the English pancake article refers to pfannkuchen – macaddct1984 (talk &#124; contribs) 00:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
