palachinki, yes
idk, you look at any american thing and they think pancakes are what in australia we call pikelets, but a bit bigger. anyway, stupid australians. what my mother and father made was uncommon in australia too. it's an eastern european thing. another breadcrumb in the trail from my dutch family to eastern europe. the dutch in general there is a fairly strong influence from mostly poland but also a bit russia. this style of pancake is also fairly well known in the netherlands so i'm pretty sure my father taught my mother about it.
they are better. more sweet stuff and less doughy stuff, and a lot more butter. always best to make them with butter.
