Hi, could anyone please give some recommendations? A friend told me she misses them. Thanks a million

Mcdonalds do pancakes and syrup which are probably american style, and easy to get with so many locations. As for how good they are im not to sure.

hhahaha hahha mcdonaldos do 'american style' pancakes, uve got to be kidding me. better to give no advice than seem like an absolute fool. even supplied us with a mcdonalds website and all as if we doubted pancakes were sold there.

op no place in dublin seels the pancakes ur friend is looking for, in ireland they would charge 12 euro for a batch of pancakes for what would cost 3 dollars in the usa.

On the other hand, at least he was polite about it.

What specifically makes a pancake 'American' style? Are they the thicker fluffier ones, compared to the wafer-thin 'crepe' style?

Cha Cha Cha on Cows Lane does a tasty American Breakfast (pancakes with maple syrup, scrambled egg and bacon) for €6 but it's the thinner style of pancake.

Make them yourself. Put some baking powder in - it's what makes them fluff up - or use self-raising flour.

You can give over with that sort of posting in here.

Take this as a first warning.

You'll pay more than 3 dollars for a good feed of decent pancakes in the States. Clinton Bakery in New York charge about 6 dollars for their pancakes - although they're well worth it - probably the best pancakes I've ever had in my life.

OP - I really have never seen any Dublin place that does proper American style panckaes. But I'm sure there must be somewhere.

Fajitas!

I've never had them, but Eddie Rockets do serve them at breakfast. No idea if they're the thick Americans ones though.

Elephant and Castle do American style pancakes for brunch.

Ste.phen

Metro Café sells them, but I think they just buy the prepacked ones in Dunnes/Tesco and heat them. Nice syrup though

If you go to the Asian Market they sell Hot Cake mix which is basically pancake mix for american style pancakes ( well like the ones I ate when I was in America)I get the Hot Cake mix all the time, gorgeous! And only €2:D

Irish Halo

Bisquick is the mix American's use at home and that is quite easy to get IIRC around Dublin, you could make some for her? Not quite the same though.

thanks everyone very much for contributing to my enquiry.
i forgot about this post until a few moments ago.
i'm not so sure about cooking pancakes for her since it's her native food (wonder where do pancake originate from ;p). i just thought it would be a good idea for sunday brunch. definitely gonna try elephant and castle as recommended by mediatank
thanks again and have a lovely evening

You can get excellent American Pancakes in Tesco. They sell them on a box of 6.
