Move One Pancake to a Separate Plate

First, gently slide one pancake off the stack onto a separate plate. Use a fork and knife to lift it carefully and move it smoothly to the side plate. The whipped cream may collapse a little, but don’t worry about that too much.
Top with Cream and Fruit

That mountain of whipped cream looks like a fluffy summer cloud—almost too pretty to touch. But the heat from the pancakes is already starting to melt it… Before it loses shape, scoop out your desired amount with a fork.

Once you’ve taken the right amount of whipped cream, place it on top of the pancake on your side plate. Add some strawberries or other fruits too! Customize each pancake slice with your own toppings. That way, everyone at the table can enjoy their meal comfortably and happily.
Start with Maple

Of course, they’re delicious on their own, but adding your favorite syrup can dramatically change the flavor. Start with the classic maple syrup.

Here’s how it looks when it’s all done. Let’s be honest—eating it while it still looks cute is part of the joy!
Add Toppings and Take a Bite

When you’re ready to eat, cut the pancake into bite-sized pieces using a knife and fork. Add a little whipped cream or fruit on top like a garnish and enjoy it all together.
Enjoy a Flavor Change

Now for the second pancake. Carefully slide it out from under the whipped cream.

At the restaurant Eggs ‘n Things, there were three types of syrup available: from the left, guava, coconut, and maple.

So for the second one, I went with the tropical coconut syrup. The sweetness and coconut aroma go perfectly! Creating a new flavor profile for each pancake plate and sharing with friends is a fun way to enjoy them.

Now onto the third pancake. The whipped cream is starting to collapse… better hurry!

This time, I topped it with Hawaii’s signature guava syrup! The small plate looks so photogenic—it’s giving major island vibes. Makes you want to hop on a plane to Hawaii right away!

After trying all three syrups, my personal favorite is still the maple! It’s a classic for a reason—when that sweet syrup soaks into the pancake, it brings an incredible feeling of bliss.

Fancy pancakes topped with loads of whipped cream and fruit are best enjoyed cleanly when divided onto separate plates. It’s your well-deserved treat—savor every bite! Let this be your guide for the perfect, happy pancake time!
