I made pancakes with a British recipe that was specifically trying to be American style and they were still practically crepes. I even omitted a bit of the liquid to try and correct for this.
... Use a recipe from an American, I hear you say? And measure volumetrically, like some kind of animal?
half crepes half pancakes are the best imo
thick enough to be satisfying to bite into, thin enough to use like a tortilla wrap around yoghurt or fruit
It's definitely nice, but... That's not really the American pancake experience. They're supposed to take up nearly the whole plate and stand tall enough to absorb no less than eight hundred kilocalories of maple syrup. Sometimes you get two and they call it a short stack. American-style irony.
At least, that's how I remember them. It's been about five years since I've had them like that, which is roughly how often that cheat day comes around.
Short stack is 3, full stack is 6.
Anything less and it's not worth opening the barrel of maple sirup, or carve into the butter cow.
