Served in piles known as “shortstacks”, American pancakes are quite a bit thicker than the crêpes you find in Europe, which means that they soak up the syrup and juice from the berries, say Danny Jack and Hailee Kukura. If you prefer your pancakes thinner, just add a little bit more milk to your batter.

Ingredients: serves 2-3 (about 6 large pancakes)
