                                The number of calories in a plain McDonald's hotcake varies by region, but a typical U.S. serving of three plain hotcakes contains about 320 to 340 calories, suggesting a single hotcake has around 107 to 113 calories. This count dramatically increases with the addition of syrup and butter, which pushes the total for a standard serving to nearly 600 calories.
