What’s the difference between a pancake and a griddle cake? In certain parts of the world, the two are more or less synonymous. But when and where they do differ, it’s largely a matter of height: while a typical pancake tends to be rather thin, griddle cakes are usually considerably thicker, with a springier, slightly chewier texture that’s comparable to a Crumpet. That certainly fits the bill for our frozen, fully-cooked, and ready- to-heat Trader Joe’s Dutch Griddle Cakes. They’re made for us by a supplier in the Netherlands, who crafts each Cake to a luxuriously lofty stature, creating an altogether elevated breakfast option. The best part? These sweet, tasty Griddle Cakes take only a few minutes in the oven or toaster—or mere seconds in the microwave—before they’re ready to be topped with a pat of butter, a swirl of Organic Maple Syrup, and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Grab a few Griddle Cakes (each package contains eight) for a great brunch or breakfast entrée, or just one as a sweet side with some Shredded Hash Browns, bacon, and eggs.
