Mark,

in English English, pancakes are even thinner than French crepes and  
fried batter cakes US Americans call 'pancakes'.  In Scottish English,  
pancakes are thicker than their English cousins, and look more like US  
pancakes.  These are what the Japanese call hot cakes.  In England,  
these fatter ones are not called pancakes, they are called drop scones.

So the thinnest fried batter cakes are what the English, not the Scots  
or US Americans, call pancakes.  ;-)
I like 'em all.  With lemon and sugar, or maple syrup, or Gruyere and  
mushroom cream sauce.  Or f/3.5, 35mm.

Refer to Mrs. Beeton.

Cheers!

Peter Cheyne

A proper pancake lens:
