So here is my ode to not waffles pancakes: A round-up of pancake goodies, recipes, and gifts for pancake-lovers everywhere…

My favorite pancakes come from Maui’s Kihei Caffe. They’re HUGE and covered in blueberries, or bananas and macadamia nuts. One of my greatest accomplishments in life was finishing entire stack all by myself.
