They are all countable because they have a plural with s.
I have 2 pancakes. I ordered 2 omelets. I ate 2 crepes. There were 5o noodles in the bag. |

To work out if things are countable you can just try to put one in front of the noun eg:
One pancake yes that works, but one money, nope sounds silly!
One noodle sounds fine, but one spaghetti sounds really odd.
I don �t know it that helps, but think can I count the stuff... ok you could count spaghetti, but I think that it is uncountable because it is a collective noun for a pasta type.
