The term "griddle cake" is a catch all term for things baked on a flat hot surface. They are particularly popular in Celtic countries where you'll find bake stones (usual cast iron these days) in a lot of home kitchens.
Popular griddle cakes include potato cakes, crumpets, pikelets, crempogau, oatcakes, drop scones, singin' hinnies, welshcakes and of course pancakes plus many more.
Although often associated with Celtic cooking you'll find griddle cakes worldwide, so do you like making them or just eating them?
I just love eating them lmao making them takes so long and it can burn sometimes if you’re not careful or at least consistently precise like with heat volume and measurement for the texture/mixture and the measurement of the cooking volume per griddle cake/ pancake.
I just had these the other day! Was staring into the abyss while making them and then dancing in my seat when I finally got to celebrate my creations lol
I had my cake and ate it too? I don't know I just felt like saying it 😆
I enjoy cooking them for other people but not eating them. I have never been much of a fan of sweet breads and pastries.
I've been very odd starting from childhood that way disliking pancakes, crumpets, French toast, and the like as well as cakes, potato chips, things of this nature. I much preferred things like jerky.
I did enjoy buttered toast but I liked to combine them with sunny-side up fried eggs and did the toast in the wet egg yolk.
I've been trying to figure out the pattern over the years and I think it's protein. I used to think it was just a preference for savory over sweet but there were anomalies like gummy bears that I loved. Then I realized gummy bears have gelatin which is a source of protein; if there's some protein involved, I can like sweet things more. Yet if it's mostly carbs and fats with little protein, I don't like sweet things so much or even salty things like potato chips.
I've just had a Google and there's one in Swansea. Bit far from me. The first one are crempogau which are probably the ancestor of American pancakes. They're made with buttermilk and a splash of cider vinegar to help them fluff up.
Nice sounds real good I would like to have some pancakes like the ones in your picture. That’s interesting that there’s a Dennys in England. I didn’t know that.
Only Dennys in the UK is in Swansea, wales. Bit unusual because most imported chains start off in london. Doesn't seem to have caught on over here. Might be because there's already a few pancake places in the town.
Maybe so, but if I was in England I might check it out to see how it compares to America because I know that the McDonald’s in London England tasted nothing like the McDonald’s in America. It didn’t have the same taste at all
