Ah right, I guess that name for them is Norwegian/European.

Around here, "American pancakes" are about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick and the size of a hand. Contains baking soda

"Pancakes" are larger, the size of a plate, and much thinner (a couple of mm). No baking soda. Like the French crepe but smaller diameter.

They taste quite differently.
