So when I wake up on a weekend morning craving hot coffee and pancakes, if I'm not in a tiara mood, we get in the car and take ourselves to the little town of Sattler to sate the craving.
Sattler is a working town providing for seasonal tourist trade. It looks like a string of oversized Monopoly toys thrown along a route between the playwaters of Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River.
Not the kind of place a body would expect a how-do-they-do-that pancake experience. Tall AND light.
The coffee is fresh, service thoughtful...
and the flapjacks will people your dreams.

One word for your post:
ReplyDelete"YUM !!"
Yum, yum!!! I think I'm going to have to make a detour to Sattler next time I'm in that area.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that... these flapjacks now have a place in my dreams! How DO they get them tall, and so delectable? (usually a thick pancake makes me run!) This looks too good. We almost named our pup "Flap" but that was because of that one ear which doesn't stay down like a respectable Lab's might.
ReplyDeleteNice, for this morning(oops, I mean afternoon!).
Cliff and I love Flapjacks and go there pretty often! We went there today and got there just in time to eat before they closed. Cliff loves the Giddyup Skillet. And you get a Flapjack with it. I had the Elvis Flapjack one time! Smeared with peanut butter and bananas! Great place!
ReplyDeleteHaven't even heard the word Flapjack since I was a kid. I'm pretty sure I never saw a flapjack that looked anywhere near this good.
ReplyDeleteand you know? Flapjack is just a fun word to say -- but kind of hard to say 3 times fast! :>)
Those are some flapjacks, Kathleen, I don't think I've ever seen one so tall and fluffy, and this was a mighty fine post about them which does this small cafe a real service. Thanks for sharing it with us. x0 N2

ReplyDeleteyou are good.
glad to be back , home IRL, and in this virtual world. I carry so many wonderful voices in my head and heart. Yours included, Kathleen. Thank you.
OH me oh my. I didn't know where Sattler was, now I think I MUST visit there. And eat flapjacks, at Flapjacks.
ReplyDeleteMy Austin favorite FJs are a tie between Magnolia and Kerbey Lane, so it took every one of those photos and your prose to fire the urge to hit the road for a taller version. Mmmmmmmm. Flapjacks!
My mouth is watering -- are flapjacks really that thick?
