I think it best if I stay out of the "exploding pancakes" discussion, right Karen?

(They didn't explode, but they didn't quite fit the normal description of pancakes, either)

Oh do tell Mz Karen... telling on brudders is phun!!! hee hee hee (exploding pancakes?)

[Lady's Human]

They weren't exploding, but I just wanted to see how thick I could get them.....

[lbaker]

oh, well... that certainly explains it What a family

Let's just say that it was determined (Through much trial and error) that the maximum practical thickness for a pancake with regular batter is about 3/4 to 1" thick.

Anything fluffier than that and cooking becomes a challenge.

A 1" thick pancake? *erk* To get back to the original subject (where were we anyway?) Do pancakes have a top and bottom? (regular pancakes, not ONE INCH whatevers ). If you ate a cookie upside down would you have to stand on your head

Great thread. I also have to eat my cookies pretty side up and my hamburgers right side up. I haven't eaten hotdogs in years but now I too have a craving for one.
I also thought that pancakes, flapjacks, hotcakes, and griddlecakes all meant the same thing. My favorite pancakes are blueberry pancakes. I make them with fresh blueberries and then put vanilla icecream on top of them instead of syrup. Yummy!!!
