Pancakes, Berliners or doughnuts?
My friends and I are currently arguing about what to call this pastry:
Since I come from Saxony, these are clearly pancakes for me.
My friends, however, call them Berliners, and for them, pancakes are what I call Plinsen…
What do you call them?
For me, Berliners and Krapfen are the same:
But THIS is a pancake:
Also available in small:
Classic regional language differences 🤷♀️
To me, those are Berliners. I also understand doughnuts. Pancakes are shown in the second picture. I'm just reading the word "Plinsen" for the first time.
I'm from Northern Germany. Here, we call the pastry pictured above "Berliner" and the one below "Pfannkuchen."
Pancakes are prepared by pouring a liquid batter into a pan and frying it for a few minutes, turning it once or several times. Pancakes are completely flat and do not form a crumb with pores.
However, I know that Berliners are also called pancakes or doughnuts in other parts of Germany.
You should get out of your jungle. The top picture shows Berliners, the bottom one pancakes. The latter is already evident in the name "PFANN"! They are prepared in a pan.
Of course, pancakes are fried in a deep pan, floating in fat. My grandmother used to make that herself.
A deep pan? What nonsense. Berliners are fried in a pan, precisely because it requires a lot of oil and the doughnuts have to float in it. A pan isn't suitable for this at all. Otherwise, you might as well tie your shoes with a crane.
Berliners are:

and the PFANN says nothing!
It's called a trombone – and you play it with your mouth!
What a stupid comment. So, according to you, there are no Nuremberg sausages or hamburgers at McDonald's, right?
And the pan says it all – at least for people who don't just use their head as a hat stand.
That could of course be the case.
If you say so. My grandma's pancakes were certainly delicious. Perhaps what is called a "pan" varies from region to region.
Of course they're pancakes. We agree on that.
In Bavaria, this fine, round pastry is called a Krapfen . In Hesse, however, it is diminutive, called Kräppel (or Kreppel in some places). The rest of West Germany calls them Berliners . They were probably invented in the capital, but curiously, in Berlin , Berliners are called Pfannkuchen (pancakes). (Difference). Many names for the same thing. Over time, the pastry has been given countless names. Depending on the region, it is known as Kräppel (Hesse), Küchli (Swabia), Pfannkuchen ( Berlin ), Bachenemais (Salzburg), Krapfen (Austria), Boules de l'Yser (Belgium), or quite simply Berliner ! (What else can you call a Berliner?)
und das untere Bild sind Palatschinken.
Always have been, and I'm not from Berlin but Bavaria.
"Kreppeln" 😀
I haven't even learned that word yet. I was specifically looking for a fourth word for Berliner…
Das Obere Berliner und unten Pfannkuchen
These are clearly Berliners. The correct name is Berliner Pfannkuchen, so both are correct.
The picture below shows classic pancakes.
I come from North Rhine-Westphalia.
A pancake is called that because it's cooked in a pan. Do you seriously think the top layer of the cake is cooked in a pan?
A Jägerschnitzel also contains no Jäger
Where did I claim that, seriously? Here: Continuing education helps: Boiled pastry called pancakes. And now? https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Pfannkuchen where it says that a pancake must come out of the pan. Please provide sources.
Oh my gosh, pretty arrogant
A pancake is called a pancake because it's cooked in a pan, not because the cake contains a pan. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Coming up with "Hunter's Schnitzel" is completely ridiculous, especially since you haven't even bothered to figure out why it's called "Hunter's Schnitzel" (–> here for further information: because of the mushrooms used. These are found in the forest, where the hunter is).
More information, less rambling, helps.
I call the first picture Berliner and the second picture Pfannkuchen.
Pancakes on top, pancakes on the bottom
I am from the Thuringia/Saxony corner

Hello BunnysDiary.
We call them Berliners. The ones in the second picture are pancakes.
There's no need to argue about that. What Berliners are called depends on the location.
