Heat a 10-inch pan over medium heat and brush it with a little of 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter (for the pan).

Questions

What is Pannenkoeken?

Thin, wide Dutch pancakes made from a loose flour, milk, and egg batter, cooked in a buttered pan and served rolled or folded with syrup or apple. They are a Dutch family restaurant standard. Plan ahead: rest the batter for 30 minutes. This reference files it under Dutch breakfast: made on the stovetop, rated easy and about 40 minutes start to finish.

What should Pannenkoeken look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 5: cook until the top is set and the edges lift away.

Why rest the batter for Pannenkoeken?

Step 2 reads: "Cover and let the batter rest 30 minutes at room temperature." The pause in step 2 lets the flour hydrate fully and the bubbles settle, which gives a more tender, even result.

Is there a substitute for maple syrup in Pannenkoeken?

The entry for Pannenkoeken calls for 1/4 cup maple syrup. In its place: Honey, measure for measure, or brown sugar dissolved in a little warm water.

Does Pannenkoeken contain eggs?

Yes: 2 large eggs, beaten. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
