Who doesn't enjoy a pancake with a crisp edge?
You know...the crispiness that only
your mom or grandma could achieve.
When I saw this meme on the internet, I laughed out loud because it's something my sister Stacey and I talk about all the time. We would go to diners and restaurants and request pancakes with crunchy edges. The waitress would say okay...but return with regular ol' pancakes with soft edges.
I gave up. I decided if I wanted pancakes like this, I would just make them at home. When looking at the meme's comments, I noticed that most people stated that only their parents or grandparents could achieve this crunchy goodness. Quite a few of the comments in the meme questioned how to achieve pancakes with crunchy edges?
I chime in with "It's really not hard to achieve."
All you have to do is add a few drops of cooking oil around the sides of your pancakes while cooking them. It can be vegetable oil, butter, or bacon fat... The pan has to be hot and you drop the oil around the edges once the pancake has formed. That extra oil fries just the edges and you get that crunchy outside when your pancake is complete.
That's it. If you make 30 pancakes at a time like I do for my family you will get plenty of practice... XOXO Steph :)
