Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and one of most popular early-morning staples is a fluffy stack of pancakes. As versatile as they are tasty, flapjacks can start your day off on a sweet note. While some eateries specialize in griddling pancakes to perfection, other restaurants have carefully curated a recipe unlike any other short stack you may have encountered before.
LoveFood searched around the country for the absolute best pancake houses around, compiling a list of the most memorable spot in each state serving up "sweet and salty pillowy piles [and] plates packed with innovative flavors."
According to the site, Katalina's in Columbus was crowned the "best pancake house" in all of Ohio, dishing out flapjacks in the form of unique filled "pancake balls" served with syrup. Katalina's has a few locations around the city. Find your nearest one by visiting the restaurant's website.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this sweet spot:
"Who said pancakes had to be round and flat? At Katalina's, a quirky spot in Columbus housed inside an old gas station, they're always served round. Katalina's Original Pancake Balls are a true favorite and have even been featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. They're made to a traditional recipe with local stoneground flour and are served filled with Nutella, dulce de leche, or pumpkin-apple butter. Drenched in locally produced maple syrup, they're also great with the house sweet and spicy bacon."
