[edit]Hi Freddy, sorry I'm a bit late in replying! The Duden entry I quoted is from "das große Wörterbuch", in digital format. As you can see it labels this meaning of Pfannkuchen specifically as "besonders norddeutsch und ostmitteldeutsch" - Dresden being in Ostmitteldeutschland, this is what people understand here when they read "Pfannkuchen". If you ask for Pfannkuchen at the baker's you are given doughnuts; if you want pancakes you have to ask for Eierkuchen. In Dresden people don't usually say "Berliner" and Krapfen are unfilled, smaller doughnuts (see also the section on usage at de:Berliner Pfannkuchen). As the article is about a Dresden speciality it seems right to me to use the local word. Maybe that's what the native German speaker who used the word Pfannkuchen was thinking.

- Hmm, it seems okay, though the spelling needs to be fixed. Dunno why I reverted that. JuJube 11:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for trying to clarify that, it really does make it easier. (Sorry for the late reply - I've been in exam mode. :( ) Malkinann (talk) 03:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
