Reply to comment by Knightbrah_II in [homemade] salty pancakes filled with a gorgonzola-spinach sauce by Knightbrah_II

Yes, in America we'd call that a crepe. We eat them mostly sweet but some savory too. My recipe would have less eggs though - only 1 for that amount of flour.

In America, "pancake" implies a recipe that includes baking powder which makes them fluffy, like a cake.

Looks delicious BTW. I love gorgonzola and I bet it goes great with the spinach.

If you think this amount of eggs is excessive, it could be because the eggs I used were fairly small. I think with 200gr of flour 3 medium eggs would be enough.

I didn't say excessive, just more than I use. I make crepes pretty much 2-3x per week for my son/wife and my standard recipe (which is going to be confusing for your German brain) is 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg and 1 tablespoon butter. It's an easy recipe to remember before I've had my coffee. But I don't know - maybe it would be better with more eggs...
