Does anyone like hotcakes these days?

IHOP sure hopes so.

I love hotcakes but have no time to make them myself. Don’t want to wake up early enough to go out for them either.

I like pancakes. Mom used to make them by the dozens for all 10 of us, so they go in numerous quantities.

I love all sorts of pancakes. Especially when you put blueberries and chocolate chips in them.

I love pancakes, but that’s a very old saying. I’m surprised they used it.

I prefer waffles, but I do love pancakes.

Or popcorn in your shorts ! ! !

@Tropical_Willie ??? I’m not gonna go look for popcorn in your shorts! Next you’ll be saying you shot an elephant in your pajamas!

There is a little bit of a difference between pancakes & hotcakes. Pancakes are very simple. Traditional US pancakes are made with flour, eggs, milk, & baking powder. On the other hand, hotcakes are made with flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, & either cornmeal, whole wheat flour, or oatmeal. Cornmeal, whole wheat flour, and oatmeal are added to hotcakes for more texture. You can make modifications to suit dietary restrictions.

Hotcakes were fed to the lumberjacks because they added oatmeal to them to set them up to work longer before lunch was required. I believe that hotcakes were cooked a little bit thicker as well. Where pancakes are more of a US thing, I’ve read that hotcakes are more of a UK thing.

I’m not sure that anybody eats hotcakes anymore & pancakes don’t seem to be as popular as they once were, so the phrase selling like hotcakes probably is a thing of the past.

I still like them, but I rarely fix them. If I just want a starch with butter and syrup, I’ll make some waffles. But there’s two ways I like to prepare pancakes, and maybe I’ll make some on Christmas Day.

The first way, you make a normal batch of pancakes, but you heat up some cherry pie filling and you spoon that on top of the pancakes. It’s very good!

The other thing I like to make is apple pancakes. You mix up the batter and then you put some thinly sliced apple pieces in with the batter and cook the pancakes up that way. Then you lightly spoon some sugar on top. Delicious!

I like microwaved eggos with lots of chilled blueberry syrup.

My husband loves pancakes, if you are using hotcakes and pancakes synonymously. For years he ate them almost every Sunday while watching Formula 1 racing. He still eats them, but not as regularly.

My husband once used the phrase selling like pancakes, and I corrected him saying selling like hotcakes. Lol so cute. If you know a lot of ESL speakers they often mess up sayings. I love it, it’s funny, and endearing, and completely understandable, I am not making fun of them. He very seriously said they should not be called hotcakes because IHOP is called the house of pancakes.

I don’t like pancakes. If I thin the batter and make the pancakes very thin, roll them, and top them with powdered sugar and lemon like a fluffy crepe, I can deal with them.

I love crepes and French toast, and I like pancakes. I don’t eat any of it very often, because I never make it at home and I am almost never in a restaurant at breakfast. I think of pancakes as total carb, with little redeeming value. I feel like with French toast, at least you could justify it by saying it’s got more eggs so it’s probably got a higher protein content.

My mom used to make a recipe called “French Jelly pancakes” which I thought was from the NY Times. I couldn’t find the recipe at the Times site, but I googled it and I see a jelly pancake is thicker than a crepe but thinner than a pancake and made to roll up with your favorite fillings instead of syrup. I believe the recipe my mom made had no egg yolks, and the whites were beaten.

@jca2 The jelly pancakes sound like the crepes they offer at The Original Pancake house, although I would be shocked if there were no yolks in the restaurant recipe. That would make me so happy if the recipe was no yolks. I think Original Pancake House is a franchise. The menus are always very similar from city to city, but the food prep and presentation is in insistent.

Does anyone not? My family has always been thrilled when the griddle comes out of the cabinet. I make very light fluffy pancakes and buy only genuine maple syrup (by the gallon). We don’t stray from that other than the occasional pancakes with berries and whipped cream on top.
