American style pancakes

I had breakfast at a great internet café. They have delicious coffee and tea, great pastries, and lots of different breakfast foods. I was too hungry for something like a scone but at the same time I wanted something sweet, so I decided to try the American style pancakes. Here’s the overview:

-They come in a stack of three, but they’re about a third of the size of any pancake you would get in America

-They aren’t served with butter, instead you get maple syrup and whipped cream (and I’m not talking about sweetened cool whip)

-They have the taste and texture of soft pretzels
I’m dying to know what the recipe is. How on earth can you make a pancake taste like a soft pretzel?

(Also, I couldn’t find pancake mix at the grocery store, but you could buy packages of pre-made pancakes. I bet they taste like pretzels too.)

  1. This is such a tragedy (if you don't like soft pretzels). Do they have awesome waffles at least? If not, we are going out for a good ol' Denny's-style American slam just as soon as you get back!!

  2. I like soft pretzels, just not when I'm trying to eat a fluffy, buttery pancake. And I haven't seen a single waffle here! They're all about the scones and toast.

  3. That's ridiculous! There's nothing like a fluffy, buttery pancake. I'm totes making you waffles when you're back. A smiley-face one with strawberries and eggs and bacon.
