Actually, unless you're talking about either blini or American
flapjack-type pancakes, most cultures seem to value pretty sizable
pancakes. For example, the crepes in crepes Suzette are traditionally
folded into quarters on the plate in part because they'd hang over the
edge of a dessert plate. Certainly they could be made into stacks of
smaller pancakes if anyone really wanted to. And then there are the
German, Austrian, and Swiss pancakes that are often a foot or more in
diameter; one of these, rolled up and dusted with sugar or perhaps
sauced with a fruit-based stuff like apricot, or maybe chocolate sauce,
usually serves two.
