This one's from the Amateur Gourmet...

Brunch, more than any other meal, celebrates abundance. We don't want one pancake when we go to brunch, we want a stack of glistening, syrup-coated chocolate-stuffed pancakes. Yet one pancake--a solitary, singular pancake--is one of the peculiarities you'll find...
