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).
~The pancakes in the photos were made by me~

In the US those would be called Crêpes. The thicker, fluffy version are pancakes. And the things that Japan makes are perfection. Actual Pan Cake.
The things that Japan makes.
Holy shit, that looks heavenly!
They also make savory versions :)
Its like a pancake soufflé. I once saw a tiny woman eat an entire dinner plate sized cube of one. It was fascinating. (I think it was mostly air)
You must try Salzburger-Nockerl, mostly air with ~2500 kcal
In Croatia we call them palačinke (“pa-la-cheen-ke”)
i think we call those crepes. They’re thinner pancakes.
that’s crêpes in France , and блины (bliny) in Russia
naleśniki :3
and it’s the same in poland, i’d call what you made a pancake in poland, but in the UK i’d call it a crêpe
In Poland we call these “naleśniki”.
Pancakes, American, but I spent two years living in Hungary and they call them palacsinta.
Flapjacks
Those look similar to crepes (American)
In Waloon they are called “vôtes”. Traditionally they are thicker with raisins in them. When made with buckwheat, they are called “boûketes”.
Crepes in Italia
That’s how you call crepes. Crepes are not pancakes.
I would say crespelle. But even those are made with more eggs. Usually the version similar to OP’s I make them with milk and flour + a single egg, so they are lighter.
Pannenkoeken in the Netherlands.
We call it panekuk in Indonesian I believe, based on the Dutch word. I’m more familiar with the American version growing up although that might just be because of American media. Also loved poffertjes as a kid (tiny versions of pancake). I don’t know if there’s an Indonesian spelling for that one.
Pannenkoeken are also often baked with cheese or bacon (spek anyway).
I meant it more like what do pancakes look like in your country. What does the word represent. American pancakes:
Similar to yours then the US kind
That is more like a crepe. You can not do that to an American pancake, it would just break in half.
We call those swedish pancakes in our family.
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.
Source: I do it all the time with homemade scratch pancake batter, especially if it’s been in the fridge for a day.
In Germany, they look like yours.
In Canada, those are pancakes. The ones you made are crepes. It’s a pan-cake because it’s cooked in a pan, and rises like a cake. They have baking soda which is a levening agent and makes bubbles and a (hopefully) light and fluffy product. Crepes are more like a tortilla, decidedly flat.
Pancakes are also called flapjacks for some reason.
Flensjes?
Those are crepes around these parts.
In Denmark they’re called pandekager and look like yours. American pancakes would be specified as amerikanske pandekager.
