What do you call "pancakes" in your country?
What do you call "pancakes" in your country?
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).

Crêpes in France. Those are ours, smaller than usual because I only have a small frying pan currently.
Note: some French regions also call them "galettes", either depending on the type of flour used, or on the type of toppings (sweet for crêpes, salty for galettes).
Anything in these pictures are crêpes. Galettes as you say is for salty food or if made with sarasin (buckwheat) flour.
Huh I thought a galette was more like a tart.
It is too! Galette des rois is what we traditionally eat during epiphany. It is most often a puff pastry with almond-flavoured custard (frangipane), but there are other kinds too. More generally, galette is a generic word for a round and flat object.
Thank you for making them just to show them in a picture here
It was a matter of national pride, I could not miss the opportunity.
I bet these were already made before the question was even posted. If you're not constantly making crêpes, can you even call yourself French?
