That big pancake the other day was cute and all, but I have this on my menu
Flipping it with a pizza peel, and serving it on a large pizza pan.

Do you have trouble getting the center cooked all the way through? ( I mean... not the center center, but well, you know....)

As someone who cut and fried donuts for several years. How do you flip that? Or do you just put it between two screens and submerge it?

Original Steve's Diner here in town does "lovecakes". 14" pancakes. The best one is a canolli pancake, which is rolled up and filled with canolli jizz and chocolate chips.
You can order a 3 egg, 3 meat, 3 pancake special for a reasonable price and get an unreasonable amount of food. I wasn't willing and/or able to finish it.

The cannoli pancake is quite literally the texture I thought cannolis would have growing up before I ever tried one, having only seen them.
Imagine my surprise picking up and bite into an incredibly hard dessert. I was a bit disappointed, but I now respect cannolis.
Anyway, that cannoli pancakes sounds like a wet dream.

Same experience as a child. I want to like cannolis, they are visually appealing, but the shell is too damn hard (and tbh not particularly interesting tasting either). The filling is often too sweet and a bit gritty too…. and I absolutely love ricotta. I’m open to the possibility that I just haven’t had a good cannoli but I would definitely try a cannoli pancake.

One of the best pancakes I’ve had had malted milk powder added to the batter.

Honestly, if you served a wedge of this on a plate like a slice of pie, with some fresh fruit? I'd be all over that

What do you plate it on, a trash can lid? What if the whole table orders one?

Large pizza pan. Working a limited menu at the moment, but I'm rolling out an upgrade next monday with choccy chips, nutella, banana, pecans, blueberries and whatever else.
And, I'm planning one with all the savory breakfast ingredients like eggs, sausage, bacon, tomato, and some gravy.

Hey I made that pancake post the other day, totally don't have pancake envy lmao. In my defense I didn't have access to a pizza peel just regular spatulas

That's how they make them in Holland, but in Holland they put all kinds of things on top (smoked meats, ice cream, sauces, whatever). I really miss Holland.

I used to work at a hot dog joint that served up giant pancakes. Flipped them with a regular spatula.

Just got to any bar n grille in the sticks and any given pancake will be borderline manhole cover sized.

There's a breakfast place near us that makes pancakes about that size. They have something like 14 varieties.

There’s a cafe in Arkansas called the Bucket List Cafe that serves an 8 pound pancake you call in for a day in advance. Someday I’ll invent a reason to be in Arkansas because I’m 90% sure I can demolish that pancake.

What's the deal with pancakes man. The only thing good about them is what you put on them 😭. They smell good, they're fun and easy to make, super hot and fresh whatever but as soon as you just eat some pancake by itself.....
We kinda feel the same at our cafe so we really tried to get the best recipe and style we could... And even our best I'm like "I still don't get it" fluffy, buttery milky, creamy, authentic maple which is not cheap in aus, like $47.50 for 700ml :| (which now that I think about it, kinda makes real maple syrup a fine dining ingredient in Australia lol) Doesn't matter, I can't get myself to enjoy them which is usually a hard thing for me, I am not picky.
Crepes on the other hand 🥵

Maple syrup is super pricey! I’m Canadian and most places here will serve “table syrup” by default, real maple syrup available for a fee

But do you have big enough plates for it? If you fold it up, then it's pointless

[Gets served one the size of a large pizza]
Perfect acceptable.

Damn, and I thought my college town’s best diner had big hotcakes. They’re probably half the radius of these (still pretty big, but nowhere close).

Why not? Only complaints have been that it's too big. But I'm not the person who ordered a $15 pancake.

This was a sous chef’s first staff meal after joining the team at a place I worked at 6 years ago.
