Pearls of Wisdom #6 (Pancakes As Crispy As Waffles)

This has a long winded story behind it. It will make a good podcast later.

The main point is the preference between crispy waffles and fluffy pancakes. This one falls right in with tips and tricks. How to make a pancake more like a waffle in texture.

So………..this recipe is tucked at the end of the pancake page in Lukas Volger’s new cookbook, Start Simple.

Actually, it’s not even a recipe—it’s more of a trick, which Volger dispatches in three sentences under the heading “Candy Your Pancakes”:

Working in batches, return the cooked pancakes to the hot skillet, and then pour maple syrup over them, however much you’d typically use at the table. The syrup will bubble and thicken slightly and cling to the crispy edges of the pancakes like a candy coating. It’s pretty great. I bypass additional butter at the table (since they’re cooked in butter), but I love to finish my maple-coated pancakes with a judicious pinch of flaky salt.
