That's a lot of pancakes! 672 of them, to be exact, and a pair of chefs at a Scottish hotel think the stack of pancakes may get them into the Guinness Book of World Records.
The current pancake stack record is 29.1 inches, set by a Slovenian team last year. Link -via J-Walk Blog
Sean McGinlay and Natalie King of Glasgow's Hilton Grosvenor hotel measured their pancake tower at 29.5 inches (75cm) - beating the current title by 0.4in.
The chefs mixed about 100 eggs, more than 17 pints of milk, 11lbs of flour and 6.6lbs of butter for the challenge, a hotel spokeswoman said.
The hotel's general manager Stuart Nelson said: 'It was a bit shaky towards the end but somehow we managed to pull it off.

stupidlogicman, in the UK, people generally do the "Swedish" pancakes, though Scotland I hear is the exception to the rule (correct me if I am wrong, anyone). I agree though, they do look like the thinner version from the pictures. Maybe it's because they are in a hotel restaurant?
I'm now curious about the Guinness standards regarding the maximum height of the pancakes being stacked. To my mind, if there are no specific requirements regarding height or diameter or the individual pancakes, the record of 30in. could be easily broken.
