Pannekoek, the Dutch Pancake

It's important to know all the members of the pancake family. Pannekoeken are Dutch-style pancakes that, like crepes, can go the sweet or savory route, but have a little more heft since they're filled with anything from mushrooms and bacon to Gouda and apple slices. It's kind of like an omelette except with a pancake foundation. They're also enjoyed plain with just some butter and sugar or stroop (syrup) on top.
The San Francisco Chronicle had a nice profile on the anytime-meal yesterday. The recipe for the plain pannekoek is easy, just an eggs-milk-flour-salt batter, and the fillings are up to you.

Very excited to try out the apple-cheddar pannekoeken recipe from the SFC article. Thanks for featuring this culinary treat. As with crepes, I'm glad for an option that let's me go sweet or savory.

cool! I'd love a combination of mushrooms, bacon, Gouda and apple slices. Especially for breakkie.
I cannot bring myself to a "sweet style" pancake in the early AM...this would be clever. and the "substance" (ie thin) pancake makes it sound better.
Dutch ja?! right on!
