First time making American pancakes. Again she brought old ingredients from her place so we tried not to waste it.

What did you think?
I don’t mind them but they always give me a sugar crash because of the syrup .
It was nice. I don't add too much syrup. But I think I prefer the thin French style pancakes, soft in the middle, crispy on the sides, and better topping/bread ratio.
I usually eat them with some peanut butter (in addition to maple syrup) so it's not just sugar/carbs.
As a kid I grew up eating them with what we called schmutz (Pennsylvania German for dirt, or dirty). It is fruit cooked with sugar and then thickened with corn starch. When I make it now I use only a small amount of sugar, just enough to make it palatable without going over the top sweet.
Funny, I always thought schmutz was Yiddish!
Two germanic languages. They could share a word or have each a very close version.
Shmuts is Yiddish, while schmutz and smutzen are German. My grandmother was Pennsylvania German and did not lean English until near adulthood.
