If you are seriously addicted to pancakes – and it becomes a problem

You can't help it. You can’t handle the fluffyness. Especially with those big, soft American ones. It’s pure perfection. Warm. Soaked in maple syrup and loaded with berries and raspberries. Do you also get anxious every time there are pancakes around? Then, uh, you probably recognize yourself in the list below.

1. It’s the first thing you look for on the breakfast menu in a restaurant. Do they have p…? THEN YOU TAKE THAT, MENU CLOSED BYE.

2. The fact that you are actually full suddenly doesn’t matter for this specific meal. You’d go through pure scurvy for it.

3. Some people get the pure feeling of happiness after exercising, others when putting on a new outfit or landing a client. You get a total happiness error when you cut through the different layers with your knife and can pop your first ‘pizza slice’ into your mouth. Sorry not sorry.

4. Pancakes with fruit. With salmon and avocado. With bananas and chocolate. You already know the standard stuff, so now you’re going for next level experimenting. Is a peanut butter pancake with sambal crazy? No, right?

5. You immediately feel an intimate bond with people who also love pancakes. And honestly: you could never be friends with people who don’t like your fluffy friends. Hahaha. Just the thought of it.

6. You don’t understand people who eat ‘yogurt with muesli’ or bread for breakfast on weekends. Huh? Yogurt? What? Why would you punish yourself when you can go wild with different layers of pure happiness???

7. Maybe you also bought one of those special pancake pans in a very loserish way. You even bought buckwheat flour for it, you crazy girl.

8. You shed a tear when you heard that ‘Madam Pancake’ was coming to Amsterdam. #LOVEYOURLIFE

9. You want to slap people who prefer pancakes or poffertjes over pancakes. In the face. With a chair.

So, now let’s have breakfast. A white tiger sandwich? Ha. I don’t think so. BRING ON THE FLUFFYNESS!
