    I made pancakes with a British recipe that was specifically trying to be American style and they were still practically crepes. I even omitted a bit of the liquid to try and correct for this.

    … Use a recipe from an American, I hear you say? And measure volumetrically, like some kind of animal?

      half crepes half pancakes are the best imo

      thick enough to be satisfying to bite into, thin enough to use like a tortilla wrap around yoghurt or fruit

        It’s definitely nice, but… That’s not really the American pancake experience. They’re supposed to take up nearly the whole plate and stand tall enough to absorb no less than eight hundred kilocalories of maple syrup. Sometimes you get two and they call it a short stack. American-style irony.

        At least, that’s how I remember them. It’s been about five years since I’ve had them like that, which is roughly how often that cheat day comes around.

          Short stack is 3, full stack is 6.

          Anything less and it’s not worth opening the barrel of maple sirup, or carve into the butter cow.

          They should also be about 1cm thick and made with buttermilk, and paired with a side of bacon.

          Fuck now I want pancakes.

          It’s called a short stack because pancakes are often served “family style” as a big stack

          I’m from the states and when I lived in a rural area there was a pancake house that was all you can eat. I didn’t finish all of the first serving, I can’t imagine needing seconds or thirds.

    How was the Queens speech this year? I’m not British, so I wasn’t allowed to watch it.

      My secret shame is making Vegemite and cheese sandwiches with pancakes as the “bread”.

      Pancakes cause you constipation? You may want to look into that…

          That isn’t really how constipation works, though. Unless these pancakes have additional protein or you’re severely dehydrated, there’s no reason pancakes should cause constipation without some medical cause.
