Pancakes are a typical breakfast menu in England and America. If in the UK pancakes are more often eaten with sprinkled with refined sugar, in America pancakes are better known as sweet maple syrup toppings.

In Indonesia, although it is still rarely done, making pancakes themselves at home has started to be done a lot.
