To help you get your pancake on, we’ve rounded up our favorite recipes for your stacking pleasure. (Stack ‘em high as you dare.)

If you must dial back the fat in your Fat Tuesday, opt for Bobby Deen’s healthier (but still tasty) griddle cakes made with whole-wheat flour, minimal oil and a measured amount of syrup. You can revel and watch your waistline.
