What’s the difference between American and Japanese pancakes? Are the Japanese ones bad at driving, and the American ones are obese and own a bunch of guns? (Joke, please don’t sue me)
Personal opinion: American pancakes are better because they are simpler and stack better than Doriyaki, from experience. However, Doriyaki are much better in terms of simplicity and basic flavor.
However, crepes surpass any pancake, hands down.
