Description
These traditional, homemade pancakes are light, golden-brown, and delightfully fluffy. Made from a simple batter whisked to a smooth, pourable consistency, they cook on a hot griddle until bubbles form and pop, giving them a tender interior and a crisp, even exterior. Stacked high and served warm with a pat of melting butter and a generous drizzle of syrup, they make for the ultimate comforting breakfast or weekend treat.
