We Dutch have been baking our delicious pancakes for a very, very long time of course. Tourists also love our pancakes and poffertjes. But the pancakes from the United States are a different cake, they are small, thick and fluffy.
They taste slightly salt but also very nice. They are often baked or served with blueberries. The maple syrup tastes like our 'keukenstroop' but is much more fluid. See for yourself which you prefer, it's fun to try!
