American, British and French pancakes

British pancakes are big and thin almost the size of a small dinner plate. French pancakes are bigger and thinner, the size of a large dinner plate, sometimes overlapping the plate, or can be rolled up. All around the Mont St Michel area they usually served in Normandy with syrup and Grand Marnier liqueur.

American pancakes are small and fat, like the size of a squashed hamburger bun no bigger than a saucer.
