As an avid fan of dense pancakes, this one really hit the spot with its almost cake-like texture. It was thick, dense and just the right sweetness, which satisfied every bit of the carb-monster within me. I also enjoyed the slightly caramelized outer layer, which provided some variety in texture. That being said, if you are looking for fluffy japanese-style pancakes, this one's not it!

The hotcake is served with a generous amount of rum-soaked raisins and a scoop of vanilla ice cream (oh how i wish there was more of this!).
