One time, in my early 20s, I was hanging out with a group of friends in a packed sedan. We went to pick up a girl, who was my cousin’s friend and who I thought was cute, but we had only seen each other a few times and we had never even crossed words. Anyway, there was no more room in the car and, without a care in the world, I said she could ride on my lap. She just smiled and said okay. That got us talking and by the end of the night we were making out. We ended up dating for a few months after that.

Jotqueis.

In northwest Mexico we call them “hotcakes” (pronounced “jotqueis” in Spanish). I’m not sure about the rest of the country, probably “panqueques”.
