I think it's a culture thing. There are some cars that are sold under different model names in Canada. Patrick Ng’s last blog post..Plus vs Plus

I wonder where the term “hotcake” comes. MacDonald sells hotcakes during breakfast.

They are definitely called pancakes in Canada and USA. They are usually eaten with maple syrup. And in Canada, crêpe is called crepe pronounced à l'anglaise. Patrick Ng’s last blog post..Plus vs Plus

I will try this substitute next time and see how different it turns out. Gotta finish my left-over buttermilk first :)

According to http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/Buttermilk.htm

TO EACH CUP OF WARMED MILK, ADD:

1 1/2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice

1 1/3 tablespoons of cider vinegar

2/3 cup plain yogurt plus 1/3 cup milk

1 3/4 tablespoons cream of tartar

STIR WELL

Allow this mixture to set while putting the rest of the ingredients for the recipe together. Allowing the milk to set will give it time to thicken. The soured milk should have the consistency of buttermilk or yogurt.

If the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of buttermilk…it is best to ‘sour’ a whole cup of milk for a more even consistency. Just refrigerate the leftover soured milk and try using it for buttermilk pancakes the next day! Milk that you have soured will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Place in a tightly covered container.

If using skimmed milk, 1%, 2%, or evaporated milk when souring the milk….the consistency might be a little less thick than buttermilk or yogurt. If that proves to be the case, try using just a little less of the soured milk to the recipe so there will still be the proper consistency needed for a particular recipe.

I usually associate pancakes to those very thin crepes that you can fill with sweet or savory stuffing and wrap. Hotcakes remind me of Canadian or American pancakes that you eat with syrups mostly :P I think they're also called griddle cakes. I have never made hotcakes before but I've eaten those when I was in Canada. I mostly make thin crepes but I wanna try those hotcakes someday. I don't know if I'll find buttermilk here though. Any substitution for buttermilk? Angele’s last blog post..Quiz craze

Some say it’s the same and others say they are different. To me they are different coz when I make my pancakes I make them thinner and bigger so that they can be easily rolled. To me, hotcakes are fluffier and smaller :) ‘

That’s just my way of differentiating them haha. But I think the ingredients are almost the same. I’ve just never used buttermilk when I made my pancakes before. How about you?
