This Is Why IHOP's Pancakes Are So Delicious

If a place is going to call itself the International House of Pancakes, those pancakes better be pretty good, right? IHOP, an acronym the chain didn't fully embrace until 15 years after it first opened, serves all kinds of diner fare, but the pancakes of its name are the obvious main event. And, clearly, they're doing something right. The chain sells an astonishing 700 million pancakes each year. Plus some of the menu items that aren't pancakes, like scrambled eggs and omelets, have pancake batter in them. So what makes the pancakes so special at the place with the blue roof? Here's why IHOP's pancakes are so delicious.
