Chef tips

For perfectly round pancakes, use a wooden skewer to give each ball a quarter turn as soon as the edges set. This allows the liquid batter to flow down and create a beautiful, full sphere. To upgrade the flavor, hide a small piece of apple or a bit of jam in the center of each ball while cooking. Kids will love helping to dust the warm pancakes with powdered sugar right before serving.
