Looks more like a crepe than a pancake.
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".
American pancakes are disgusting. It’s like the equivalent of American carbon bacon.
Fun fact: nutmeg is toxic to humans in surprisingly small amounts. I wouldn't eat half a nutmeg by myself in one sitting!
That’s a lot of nutmeg. I’d definitely put less.

Pancakes in nz are not thick. You get pancakes which are like crepes, or pikelets which are like small American pancakes. American pancakes are disgusting. It’s like the equivalent of American carbon bacon.
Why would he beat the batter for 15 minutes? Did flour back then not have as much gluten?
