The Incredible Amount Of Pancakes And Syrup Cracker Barrel Sells Per Year
Pancakes are a true breakfast staple, beloved by people all around the world. These fluffy, syrupy discs have captured our hearts (and stomachs) because they're simply delicious, especially when they are dripping with syrup and butter. It's like a hug for your taste buds! Pancakes are also endlessly customizable, so you can add chocolate chips, blueberries, bacon, — or even chocolate chips and bacon – to meet your flavor preferences. Whatever you want, there's a pancake for you.
Pancakes can also make you feel nostalgic. They bring to mind lazy Sunday mornings, lounging in pajamas and eating a large stack of the fluffy dish. Sometimes, though, you just don't have the time or energy to make them from scratch, so if you want to have pancakes without a lot of work, you can head over to a restaurant like Cracker Barrel or try the some boxed pancake mix and syrup. In case you didn't know, the Old Country Store known for its down-home country-style cooking sells a lot of pancakes and syrup each year.
No really, they sell A LOT
Cracker Barrel pancakes are known for their light, fluffy texture, which is a result of their unique batter recipe. The pancakes they serve in the restaurants have a homemade taste that brings on that nostalgic feeling after just one bite. The restaurant is also known for serving generous portion sizes, and their pancakes are no exception, so the dish is quite filling. And for those who like to add toppings to their pancakes, Cracker Barrel offers a wide variety of those, too. Some of the pancakes on the menu include buttermilk, chocolate chip, wild Maine blueberry, pecan, and stuffed cheesecake pancakes.
Cracker Barrel pancakes are so popular they sell 75 million pancakes a year and they go through 55 million 1.5 oz. bottles of Pure Natural Syrup as well. In fact, the pancakes are such a fan favorite, the restaurant lists its number one menu item as the Momma's Pancake Breakfast — a platter that comes with three pancakes, two eggs, and a choice between bacon or smoked sausage. Additionally, pancake-based dishes make up three of the Top 10 most popular menu items.
