yes those seem like a bit of a half breed of the two different pancakes styles; crêpes and drop scones. they look good though. how do they taste? that's the main thing. let me know if you are unhappy with your result and need recipes.

It's tastes like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped.....e/ea/Oladi.JPG
It's hard to explain it's taste, because i don't know how they called on english language=\
On my language, this dishes have different names: Блины, оладья. But every dictonary translate this words to "pancakes"=(
And i never eaten this dish: http://www.viethfamily.com/jQuery/i.....s/pancakes.jpg
I have recipe of it, but i don't understand what i must do for result like on picture.

i don't think i've ever seen the kind in that first image you have there. although they do sort of resemble the type of pancakes you are trying to make - atleast they look a bit like that when i make them.

'pancakes' does seem to be a bit of a general term, especially as they all seem to vary country to country. as an english person i know the type you are trying to make as scotch pancakes or drop scones, our standard pancake is more like a crepe. these are the only styles i am fully familar with.

since your pancakes are looking a little bit flat, perhaps you may want to add a bit more baking powder. i also wonder if you may want to reduce the amount of liquid to make it thicker (the warped edges around the edges seem more typical of the thin better used in crepe style pancakes). although they keep their shape somewhat due to the thickness of the mixture, if you want a nice perfect round shape, you might want to pour the mixture into rings (though i have not done this myself).

i'm not sure how much difference this makes but despite the name pancake, they are genrally cooked on a griddle or hotplate, rather than in a pan. (although i do them in a pan myself).

the best thing to do is keep practacing and perhaps adjust your mixture. maybe try out other recipes if you continue to have troubles. also try out different cooking temperatures and times etc. perhaps try making the cooking surface a bit hotter(?), your ones did look a little less brown than i would expect, and the underneath looked as though it may have been slightly undercooked in parts. - although the brown circles in the middle are pretty characterisitic of the pancakes you are trying to make. (i'm not sure why they always do that).

few people seem to make this type of pancakes themselves, either buying them pre-made, or buying a pre-made mixture. i bought some pre-made ones once while in america, they were horrible and extremely bland. i tend to make mine with a sweet batter and just serve them with butter. but judging from the ones i had, i think the americans just have them as a vehicle for syrup.

i actually got out my recipe book to check if it had anything noted, tecniques or whatever else. i notice the last step is a bit unusual and something i have never done. it says to fold a teatowel and place it on a cooling tray, and after you've cooked them til brown on the griddle, place the pancakes inside the fold of the teatowel until cooked. it also says in regard to the thickness of the mixture to add enoguh milk to be able to mix it comfortably, and then keep adding milk until a trail left in the mixture disappears - hope that makes sense.

i can't believe i have written so much about pancakes. hopefully it's atleast somewhat useful. good luck with your next batch.

also, it's hard to tell, but how big are those pancakes? they look pretty big. the type of pancake you are after is genrally smallish, and is just a drop of mixture onto a hot surface, you do not use the whole pan as you might with a crepe style pancake (which may also explain the edges). this is how they got the name drop scones over here. try using about a teaspoon full of the mixture and see how it turns out. if the result isn't as big as you'd like, then use a bit more next time.

It's 15 centimeters in diameter=)) Maybe it's really big=)) Thanks for advices=) Maybe in next time i do it better=D

they do vary in size, but that does sound bigger than usual. maybe try half that size. i don't know if size makes much difference. (my suggestion of a teaspoon is probably a bit small).

Yes, teaspoon is vary small=D well i try half size=)
