I'm not much of a pancake eater but the couple times a year I indulge
I insist on a knob of butter and a fried runny egg between each one in
the stack, no syrup, the runny egg yolk and melted butter is all
pancakes need. Another great version is sailer pancakes, fry up
hamsteaks and pour pancake batter over and then griddle them per
usual, then float those boats in warmed maple syrup.
