How Big Is A Silver Dollar Pancake Ihop?

One more thing you’ve probably noticed about a stack of IHOP pancakes — they’re all the same size. Whether it’s a short stack or a full stack, there’s a uniformity there that you can never seem to achieve with your ladles full of batter at home.

Adorable silver dollar sized pancakes are about two inches in diameter and you can cook a whole bunch of these pancakes on the griddle at once! These pancakes are buttery, light, and fluffy with slightly crispy edges and a golden brown finish.

For what it’s worth, Spoon University did rank IHOP’s sweeter treats over Denny’s, with the chain’s Mexican Tres Leches and English Sticky Toffee pancakes besting Denny’s versions. Consumer Reports also sampled buttermilk pancakes from IHOP, Denny’s, Cracker Barrel, Country Kitchen, and Perkins.

Silver dollar pancakes are said to originate in the United States, back in the 1800s. They’re about the same size as an old silver dollar so North Americans have called mini pancakes “silver dollar” pancakes ever since. How do you make small pancakes? The big difference is how much batter you put on the griddle at one time.
