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.

Love the energy but calorically I cannot vibe

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

Fuck now I want pancakes.

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.

It's called a short stack because pancakes are often served "family style" as a big stack

I believe you but I grew up on the west coast and I never once saw it offered.
