In most cases, when given the opportunity, I will refuse to order pancakes at a restaurant. It's just too risky. I have many strong opinions as to what a pancake needs to be, and very often, I am disappointed. Firstly, they need to be really hot! steaming! I want to drop a pad of butter on top of a stack of pancakes and watch it sizzle! If pancakes are warm, or even cold, they border on uneatable. Secondly, they can't be too doughy. It is unacceptable for the inside of the pancake to be super dense or wet. Pancakes should be thick and fluffy, and while I am fully able to complain about a restaurants inability to create such pancakes, until recently, I wasn't able to either!
