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).

    That is more like a crepe. You can not do that to an American pancake, it would just break in half.

      What you call a crepe, is what we call pancakes in Belgium/the Netherlands

      It is different though. Crêpes are thinner still. Texture is also different, the pancakes are more “airy” than crêpes. They are also prepared differently:

      Leavening: Pancakes usually include a leavening agent like baking powder, which makes them rise and become thicker. Crêpes don’t have any leavening, so they stay thin. Batter: Pancake batter is thicker than crêpe batter.

      Pancakes are cooked on both sides on a griddle or frying pan. Crêpes are cooked very quickly on one side on a special crêpe maker or a hot plate. ^(For quick reference. Answered by Gemini 2 Flash using Kagi.)

      Both are really good, though.

      Add more water to pancake batter, thin it out, and you can absolutely get them that thin and flexible.
