My oldest daughter turns 12 today. Wife is out of town for work. I made blueberry buttermilk pancakes for the birthday girl. This was the first attempt.

I was trying to be novel and use a baking sheet on the stove top so I could make multiple cakes at once. It did not heat evenly. So I ate them, and made some more traditionally in a pan. They turned out much better.

YUM, blueberry pancakes! Your first batch is hilarious!

You’re a good father.

That sheet is just too thin to heat evenly - so hot in the middle, cold on the edges.

Round 2 looks crazy delicious!

A cast iron griddle works well across two eyes, but you need to be invested in a serious pancake session to get that kind of heat and surface area going.

A for ingenuity, F for execution. But you recovered quickly and spiked it in the end zone.

One of the perks of making pancakes and crepes is that you get to eat the ones that you screw up. According to the Universal Fairness Doctrine, messed-up pancakes contain zero calories

Its a really thick pan though. I miss my Airbake pans. Awesome for cooking evenly. Horrible for twisting and rusting.

I used to work 3rd/breakfast shift at a local chain restaurant, and would cook pancakes like no one’s business. My egg flipping skills were also top-notch.

I miss having a nice big grille to plop a shit load of pancakes (or burgers) on.

Excellent! We frequently also make breakfast for dinner. I have an electric griddle I use almost exclusively for pancakes and french toast for the reasons you cite.

You know what’s great for school lunches? PB&J sandwiches on left over blueberry pancakes.

Call it a taste test.

We’ve got pans that are sort of champagne-colored with a non-stick coating that are awesome. IDK the brand though.
