Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Crempogs are thick pancakes that originated in which part of the UK?

Answer: Wales

Crempogs are similar to American pancakes - including a raising agent such as bicarbonate of soda, plus vinegar and buttermilk. They can be served in stacks and sliced like cake.

2. A type of oven-baked pancake, possibly originating in the US, has part of its name suggesting a European origin. It is called: _________ baby?

Answer: Dutch

The Dutch baby is cooked in a preheated pan in the oven. It is similar to the German pancake or a Yorkshire pudding, It is possible that when it was introduced in the early 20th century at Manca's Cafe in Seattle, their use of the name "Dutch Baby" was their interpretation of the word "Deutsch".

3. In the Netherlands, their pancakes called pannekoeken are often served with a special syrup called what?

Answer: Stroop

The thin and wide pannekoeken are often based on buckwheat flour. Stroop is made from boiled down fruit - often apple or pears - and is thicker than maple syrup.

4. The atayef or qatayef is a type of pancake that is cooked on one side only and then served stuffed. It is commonly associated with which month of the Islamic calendar?

Answer: Ramadan

Atayef are small and thin pancakes found across the Middle East in countries such as Iraq and Syria. They contain raising agents and perhaps orange blossom water. Being cooked on one side leaves a lacy texture that is ideal for holding creamy cheese or nutty fillings.

They are served folded over. They are associated with the month of Ramadan, with some families saving them as a treat to only be eaten at that time of the year.

5. The pannukakku is an oven baked pancake that has a delicate, custard-like centre. It comes from which Scandinavian country?

Answer: Finland

Pannukakku is eggy and buttery with crisp edges and a custardy centre. It may include vanilla and is typically served with a fruit conserve.

6. The Staffordshire oatcake is a savoury pancake associated with which English city of six towns?

Answer: Stoke-on-Trent

One of the unsung treasures of UK cuisine, the Staffordshire oatcake is used as part of a full English breakfast or used as a handy wrap for various fillings at lunchtime. It is produced using flour, oatmeal and yeast.

7. The ploye is a type of buckwheat pancake, cooked on one side only, and popular in New Brunswick, Canada and which US state?

Answer: Maine

The ploye is made from a thin batter including baking powder or yeast. It has a strange moon-like appearance - the holes that appear through only cooking on one side are ideal for filling with molasses or maple syrup. Some people use cretons, a sort of pork spread.

This French Acadian food is served at special ploye festivals each year. At Fort Kent in Maine they make a 12 foot wide ploye which they cover with butter.

8. What is the Irish pancake that is made with a mixture of grated and mashed potato?

Answer: Boxty

The use of the two types of potato in the mix for boxty creates a wonderful creamy texture that is part pancake, part hash brown. It's delicious. They have a rhyme: "Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan; if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man."
Barmbrack is an enriched bread with dried fruit.
Colcannon is mashed potato with cabbage.
Crubeens are boiled pig feet.

9. The blini is a buckwheat pancake associated with which great country?

Answer: Russia

The Russians sometimes serve their blinis with sour cream and caviar. Traditionally they were served to represent the sun's "rebirth" at the end of winter.

10. What is the name of the pancake made with a fermented batter that is a key element in South Indian cuisine?

Answer: Dosa

The huge thin dosa has a long history - it is known to have been in use in the first century AD. Rice and lentils are soaked in water and ground to produce a batter that is left to ferment overnight. Dosas are served hot with chutneys or stuffed with vegetables and sauces.

Aloo is potato.
Naan is a bread cooked in a special oven called a tandoor.
Zeera is cumin.
