North American pancakes can be made sweet or savory by adding ingredients such as blueberries, strawberries, cheese, bacon, bananas or chocolate chips to the batter.

English pancakes can be stuffed after cooking with a wide variety of sweet or savoury fillings. Both versions can be sweetened after cooking by pouring on syrup or sprinkling with powdered sugar.

In Canada and the United States, the pancake is usually a breakfast food, but it is so popular that a franchised restaurant called International House of Pancakes, commonly called IHOP, has more than 1,000 restaurants serving at all hours of the day. North American pancake lovers travelling abroad should bring their own maple syrup, as it is produced in North America and can be expensive and difficult to find elsewhere. Even table syrup (a less expensive artificially-flavored replacement for maple syrup) can be difficult to find elsewhere.

In Australia and Britain, pancakes are eaten as a dessert, or served savory with a main meal. However, in Australia, they can sometimes be eaten as a main meal, as they are in the U.S. and Canada.

In the Netherlands, pancakes are called Pannenkoeken and eaten at dinnertime. Pancake restaurants are popular family restaurants and serve many varieties of sweet, savory, and stuffed pancakes. Pannenkoek are slightly thicker than crepes and usually quite large (12" or more) in diameter. The batter is egg-based and the fillings can include sliced apples, cheese, ham, bacon, candied ginger and many other ingredients - alone or in combination - as well as stroop, a thick syrup.

In Sweden and Finland, it is traditional to eat yellow pea soup followed by pancakes on Thursdays. However, there is no such nationwide consensus regarding pancakes consumption on the other days of the week.

In the Philippines, pancakes are served with either evaporated milk, margarine (as butter is not popular in the Philippines), sugar or condensed milk. Usually, they are served for breakfast, but there are some stalls selling smaller pancakes with margarine and sugar on top for snacking.

A smaller pancake, often called a "silver dollar" pancake, is sometimes used in the creation of hors d'oeuvres in place of crackers or other bread-like items.

Banana pancakes, in particular, are a popular menu item in Western-oriented backpackers' cafes in many Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, India, and China.

In Canada[1], the United Kingdom[2], Ireland[3], and Australia[4] , pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as "Pancake Day." (Shrove Tuesday is better known in the United States, France and other countries as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday.) Historically, pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday so that the last of the fat and rich foods could be used up before Lent.

Charity or school events are often organized on Pancake Day. One popular event is a "pancake race" in which each participant carries a pancake in a frying pan. While running, race participants must toss their own pancake in the air and catch it with their frying pan. This event originated in the town of Olney, England in 1444 when a housewife was still busy frying pancakes to consume before fasting during Lent when she heard the bells of St Peter and St Paul's Church calling her to the Shriving Service. Eager to get to church, she ran out of her house still holding the frying pan complete with pancake, and still wearing her apron and headscarf.

Since 1950, every Shrove Tuesday, the towns of Olney, England and Liberal, Kansas, USA have competed in the International Pancake Race. Eligible competitors (local women only) race along a previously agreed course and their times are compared to determine the international winner.
