My hunch is no baking powder. I've made pancakes without baking powder by heavily beating the eggs before gently folding in the other ingredients. Haven't tried this particular recipe.
Yep that's the one-- gotta get gas into the batter somehow
It so much in an English pancake, which these are in the picture.
English pancakes are flat.

#38Looks more like a crepe than a pancake.
They remind me of “Swedish Pancakes” which are kind of in-between an American pancake and a crepe.
No idea if they are actually Swedish but you can buy Lund’s Swedish pancake mix in the US and you get something similar

This is a dialects of English thing. In Britain: pancakes don't use baking powder. They're flat like a slighly thicker crepe. I would describe a thick fluffy pancake made with baking powder as a "Scotch pancake", but in Australia, the USA, Canada and New Zealand, that style is just a "pancake".
I'm sympathetic to the confusion, despite having a British origin myself, just because the thick-fluffy pancake is objectively more similar to other things we call "cake".
Wait until you hear about flapjacks.

My version of them are as follows, from start to finished meal in 15 minutes with two good crepe pans.
This is per person, so for two people you double it, except for the extra egg.
1 egg (plus one extra)
2 decilitre (dl) of milk, roughly two cups
1 dl of flower
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 dl of olive oil
Lots of butter to fry in
Mix eggs and half the milk. Add the flower, salt and sugar and mix until it is a smooth batter. Add the remaining milk and oil. Mix until smooth. Fry in butter, about a teaspoon, on a hot pan (7/10) until dry on top, flip over, for 30 sec. Done.
Serve with sweet jam, whipped cream, or butter and sugar, icecream. Go to town, enjoy.
