This is what we Romanians call “pancakes” (clătite). In the US for example, these are not “pancakes”. What Americans call “pancakes”, we call “clătite americane” (American pancakes) or just “pancakes” (the untranslated English word).

    Well in America we have pancakes, flapjacks, Dutch babies, crepes, Johnny cakes, and probably other things I’m forgetting about that are pancake-adjacent.

      I would clarify that most Americans probably aren’t actually aware of anything besides pancakes and maybe crepes unless there’s a regional variety in their area

        I think it will probably vary regionally. Diners and breakfast places often have lots of variations. A couple others I thought of are griddle cakes (old-fashioned pancakes) and saddlebags (which are pancakes mixed with meat and other stuff). I’ve seen stuff like yeast-raised whole wheat pancakes (which I don’t know if they have a particular name). I could also name a few places where you could get things like okonomiyaki or scallion pancakes in my city. Those super thick Japanese-style pancakes also seem to be kind of trendy. America is a big place and there’s lots of food variety.
