Large thin Dutch pancakes eaten sweet with stroop and powdered sugar, or savoury with ham and Dutch cheese. Larger and thinner than French crepes.

Dutch pannekoeken have been eaten since at least the 17th century, depicted in Golden Age paintings. Unlike French crepes, Dutch pancakes are made with whole milk and often buckwheat; they are cooked one at a time in a large pan and eaten as a full plate-sized portion. Utrecht cafes and bakeries serve pannekoeken as a brunch and lunch staple.
