I disagree with stacked pancakes. They are juvenile nonsense for several logical (if not strictly scientific) reasons. Reason Number 1: Gravity. All can agree that fluffiness is the goal in pancakes. To achieve that, we use flour with the lowest possible protein content, we add buttermilk and baking powder to the batter to create air, and we fold the batter as gently as we would comb a baby’s hair. We do all that just so, at the end, the pancakes can be stacked and compressed to death by the sheer weight of one fucker sitting on top of another? Frankly, it’s mind-boggling.

You can find dashi powder, tenkasu, and the condiments for serving at your local Japanese market, or in the Asian foods section of the grocery store.

These fluffy pancakes get their rise from the magical combination of buttermilk, baking powder and baking soda. As the batter rests, baking powder reacts with the liquid ingredients to form bubbles that create fluffy pancakes, while the gluten in the flour relaxes to make them more tender.

Once the batter hits the heat, they rise one last time, resulting in perfectly tender pancakes that you can slather with your favorite toppings.
