Please settle my lunchroom debateWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Now you may wonder, "Isn't hotcakes just another name for pancakes!?" While the "hotcake lobby" would have you believe such a simple story, there is more to it than just a difference in regional dialects!. Pancakes are wonderfully substantive, mouth-watering flatbread delights!. They can withstand an onslaught of butter, jams, jellies and assorted syrups and still maintain their delicious fluffiness!. Hotcakes, on the other hand, are limp and lifeless pieces of rubbery flour/water compost!. When put under the slightest amount of condiments or pressure from a utensil, the hotcake loses its form entirely!.

My cousin Heather will back me up on the science!. Pancakes are meal while the alleged "hotcake," can at best serve as an appetizer to pancakes!. I can't address "flapjacks" because I have never actually eaten one and can only assume that they are some kind of bastardized version of a pancake!.

Pancakes vs!. hotcakes: Winner!.!.!. pancakes in a syrupy landslide of buttery goodness! Goddamn I'm hungryWww@FoodAQ@Com

the difference between the two is that pancakes are made with plain flour and stay very flat, they can be filled and rolled!. Hot cakes have a raising agent and puff up when cooked, they are usually served in a stack!. Hot cakes are usually smaller in diameter than pancakes!. I enjoy both pancakes and hot cakes!. I usually serve pancakes with a savoury filling but serve hot cakes with a sweet topping, although pancakes are delicious with sugar and lemon on them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nothing!. I think it may depend on what part of the country you're from or who you've been exposed to!. If your Mom called them pancakes then you probably would too!. Just like some people say soda and some people say pop, they will pretty much repeat what they're used to hearing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am from the south and as a child we all called them hotcakes!. I heard them called pancakes on television, probably on a commercial!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
