Hot cakes.....

We tried a new "American" breakfast place this weekend. Interestingly, we saw that they offered "Iowa style" pancakes. Even though I attended my first two years of undergrad at Northwestern College (Orange City, IA) I had to come to NZ to hear about this type of pancakes. They were your standard fluffy pancakes and so I don't know how that makes them Iowan. If any knows, can you explain it to me?
